In May 2024, Prime Video announced during its upfront presentation that it has ordered a "Legally Blonde" prequel series, titled "Elle," from Witherspoon's media company, Hello Sunshine.

Fans who have waited seven years for "Legally Blonde 3" will have to keep waiting as the franchise has shifted focus to the TV prequel, "Elle."

If you've seen Reese Witherspoon, you probably think of a beautiful blonde with a sunny persona and a slight Southern drawl quickly covered up by her years of acting. But don't let her Nashville origins and girl-next-door appearance fool you—she's a hardcore businesswoman with millions in the bank.
