The second Legally Blonde spinoff series is also reportedly being considered by Amazon and Hello Sunshine. This particular endeavour, however, is in ‘preliminary, idea stages’, the outlet writes. The original film came out in 2001 with Reese Witherspoon as Elle Woods, a former sorority girl who enrolled in Harvard Law School to get back together with her ex-boyfriend.

Legally Blonde led to a big-screen sequel film, a straight-to-DVD film, and a Broadway musical. A third film written by Mindy Kaling is also in the works. Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde followed recent Harvard graduate Elle defending animal rights in Congress. Legally Blondes, a direct-to-DVD film, chronicled the adventures of Elle’s twin cousins who relocate from England to California.

The original comedy film completely transformed Reese’s life.’I was in England making The Importance of Being Earnest when Legally Blonde came out in America. When I went home my life had changed forever,’ she said on The Graham Norton Show in 2019. Reese celebrated the film’s 20th anniversary on Instagram back in 2021, calling Elle ‘the role of a lifetime.’

Omigod you guys ….#LegallyBlonde premiered 20 years ago TODAY! Time flies when you’re busy using legal jargon in your everyday life,’ she posted to Instagram. ‘But truly… playing Elle Woods was the role of a lifetime and I’m so honoured to have been a part of sharing her story with you all. ‘Every meme, graduation cap, musical number, Halloween costume and bend & snap has brought me so much JOY over these past two decades! I wonder… what will Elle do next?’
