Omigod you guys, Elle Woods is back!
The teaser for Elle, the prequel series to the 2001 classic Legally Blonde starring Reese Witherspoon, dropped on May 6, giving viewers a peek at the eponymous main character’s high school days.
Before Elle Woods went to Harvard Law School, she was a teenager in the ritzy Bel-Air neighborhood in Los Angeles. Set in 1995, Elle—played by newcomer Lexi Minetree—is living her best life, hanging out poolside with her besties.
That is, until her parents (June Diane Raphael and Tom Everett Scott) force her to pick up and move to Seattle, Washington, after her dad gets a new job. There, Elle struggles to fit in as she trades the California sunshine for gloomy Pacific Northwest rains.
In fact, Elle’s signature pink wardrobe and golden hair sticks out among her new grunge-inspired peers, with the future lawyer telling her mom, “I’m feeling very blonde.”
Never one to back down from a challenge though, Elle turns to her trusty canine BFF Bruiser and says, “Wish me luck.”
