“Seattle isn’t a costume. And pink isn’t a personality.” Prime Video has revealed their full official trailer for the highly anticipated comedy series Elle, a prequel / spin-off show based on the Legally Blonde movies (they made 3 in total). “From the world of Legally Blonde comes Elle.” It goes back to her early days when she was in high school as a much younger Elle Woods. Newcomer actress Lexi Minetree stars in this series as Elle, because she’s a near perfect younger Reese Witherspoon lookalike. In Season One, Elle follows her in high school as we learn about the life experiences that shaped her into the iconic young woman we came to know and love in the first Legally Blonde film (released in 2001 by MGM which is owned by Amazon now hence this series being there). The Elle series cast also includes June Diane Raphael & Tom Everett Scott as Elle’s mother and father, along with Chandler Kinney as Kimberly, Jacob Moskovitz as Miles, Gabrielle Policano as Liz, and Zac Looker as Dustin. Reese Witherspoon is an executive producer, of course, but she’s not actually in this at all. This is an interesting spin on the Elle Woods story because after she moves to Seattle, she realizes that pink isn’t a personality. Or perhaps she’ll push back? Again this looks like they remixed the Netflix series “Wednesday” with Elle Woods hoping it would get people to watch. Huh.
Here’s the full official trailer (+ poster) for Prime Video’s comedy series Elle, direct from PV’s YouTube:

Before law school, there was high school. From the world of Legally Blonde comes Elle.

Based on the Elle Woods character from the novel “Legally Blonde” written by Amanda Brown; turned into the movie Legally Blonde directed by Robert Luketic. Showrun by Laura Kittrell & Caroline Dries.
