Prime Video Renews Elle Prequel for Season 2 Before Premiere

Prime Video has renewed its upcoming Legally Blonde prequel series Elle for a second season ahead of the first season's premiere on July 1, 2026. The early renewal signals strong confidence in the project, which explores the high school years of the iconic character Elle Woods, originally portrayed by Reese Witherspoon in the 2001 film and its 2003 sequel.

The series follows Elle as a teenager navigating key life experiences that shape her into the determined Harvard Law student seen in the movies. Created by Laura Kittrell, known for her work on High School and Insecure, the show is co-showrun by Kittrell and Caroline Dries. Witherspoon serves as an executive producer through her Hello Sunshine banner, alongside Lauren Neustadter, Marc Platt, who produced the original films, author Amanda Brown, and director Jason Moore, who helmed the first two episodes of season one.

Lexi Minetree stars as the young Elle Woods, stepping into the role first cast in February 2025. She is joined by a ensemble cast including June Diane Raphael as Elle's mother Eva, Tom Everett Scott as her father Wyatt, and series regulars Gabrielle Policano, Jacob Moskovitz, Chandler Kinney, and Zac Looker....
