As a die-hard fan of Elle Woods who grew up watching Reese Witherspoon bring this iconic character to life, I am beyond thrilled about the upcoming prequel series, “Elle,” streaming on Prime Video! The open casting call for the young Elle Woods is a testament to the team’s dedication to finding the perfect actress to carry on the legacy of this beloved character.
It’s time for fans and aspiring starlets to break out their best pink blazers, because the Legally Blonde prequel series happening at Prime Video is now on the hunt for the person who will portray its young Elle Woods. Announced earlier this year, the prequel – simply titled Elle – will look to “follow Woods 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.”
What Elle’s Open Casting Call Means for the Prequel Series
2001 saw the debut of Legally Blonde, a massive box office success for MGM that raked in $141 million on a minimal budget of just $18 million. The unconventional tale about a sorority girl transitioning into law school resonated with audiences and critics alike, and remains iconic for motivating countless young women to pursue their aspirations in the legal field.
The character, Elle, intends to resonate with audiences once more, as the show penned by Laura Kittrell will delve deeper into Woods’ experiences, revealing both her hardships and victories during high school. This storyline, appealing to all genders, may not achieve the same cultural significance as “Legally Blonde,” but Witherspoon is thrilled to be part of its production, describing it as a long-cherished dream at the time of its announcement.
I’m absolutely thrilled about this upcoming series! Fans will delve into Elle Woods’ teenage years, exploring her unique character and resourcefulness in a way that only Elle can pull off. Can anything beat that? I owe my heartfelt thanks to the brilliant minds at Prime Video, Hello Sunshine, and our talented writer Laura Kittrell for making this long-held dream of mine a reality. Legally Blonde is back!
With Elle organizing an open audition to select the main character, it demonstrates a strong dedication from everyone involved in upholding the integrity of the Legally Blonde franchise by finding the most suitable candidate rather than simply giving the role to a high-profile star who could draw a large audience (and viewers) to Prime Video. The fact that they’re prepared to consider an unknown talent indicates a promising direction for the casting process, which seems to be nearing its end before filming begins. Keep an eye out for further updates on Elle, including details about its cast and anticipated release date.
