Prime Video unveils teaser and images for Legally Blonde prequel
AHEAD of Amazon’s May 11 Upfront presentation, Prime Video has released exclusive images and the official teaser trailer for Elle. This highly anticipated Legally Blonde prequel is set to premiere on July 1 on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.
Produced by Amazon MGM Studios, Prime Video has already ordered a second season of the show ahead of its debut.
For the upcoming first season, the series will follow its titular character before she was a fish-out-of-water at Harvard.
Set in 1995, the series will cover Elle (Lexi Minetree) taking on high school as she encounters tricky friendships, forbidden romance and questionable fashion choices.
Through it all, she uses her family as a touchstone and forms an even tighter bond with her mother, proving they can get through anything life throws their way as long
as they have each other. With each challenge, she grows closer to becoming the Elle Woods we know and love today.
The cast for the season will include June Diane Raphael as Elle’s mother, Eva, and Tom Everett Scott as her father, Wyatt, alongside Jacob Moskovitz, Gabrielle Policano, Chandler Kinney, Zac Looker and Amy Pietz.
Recurring cast members include Jessica Belkin, Danielle Chand, Matt Oberg, Chloe Wepper, Logan Shroyer, Sharon Taylor, David Burtka, Brad Harder, Kayla Maisonet, Lisa Yamada and James Van Der Beek.
Created by Laura Kittrell, Elle is co-showrun and executive produced by Kittrell and Caroline Dries. Reese Witherspoon, Lauren Neustadter, Amanda Brown and Marc Platt also serve as executive producers.
