‘Legally Blonde’ TV Series in the Works at Amazon

Will Bruiser get his own show?

Amazon is teaming with Reese Witherspoon and her Hello Sunshine banner to develop a Legally Blonde TV series. Gossip Girl and The O.C. grads Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage are attached to write the TV offshoot, whose premise is being kept under wraps. (We don’t know if it’s about the dog, but here’s hoping!)

Schwartz and Savage and their Fake Empire banner, Witherspoon and Hello Sunshine’s Lauren Neustadter, Marc Platt and Amazon MGM Studios are all producing the potential offshoot.

It’s unclear if Witherspoon has any plans to reprise her role as Elle Woods in the potential TV series, which comes as Amazon has been scouring the MGM library to for titles to revive since acquiring the storied studio a few years ago. The streamer and Hello Sunshine are looking to turn the Legally Blonde films into a multiple-show franchise with a second potential offshoot also in its early stages.

Witherspoon previously told The Hollywood Reporter that she was interested in revisiting Elle in her 40s. “I want to discover what age means to that character,” she said in 2019 amid efforts to revive Legally Blonde. “Aging, contemporary ideas, how things have evolved — or not evolved.”

Reps for Amazon declined comment.

Schwartz and Savage’s credits also include updates of Dynasty and Nancy Drew, both for The CW, as well as Apple’s City on Fire.

Witherspoon’s ties with Amazon go back to Daisy Jones and the Six.

THR sibling Deadline was first to report the news.
