Fan frenzy is in full swing as Prime Video confirms 'Elle' – the prequel series to the iconic 'Legally Blonde' franchise – will be back for season two! The announcement, made way back in January, has sent shockwaves of excitement through the fan base, with many eagerly anticipating what's next for Elle Woods. And the wait won't be too long, as the second season is already in post-production, with filming having wrapped up in spring.
The series, masterminded by Laura Kittrell, whisks viewers back to 1995 and explores the pivotal high school years of Elle Woods, played by Lexi Minetree. With Reese Witherspoon herself on board as an executive producer, this prequel has got the seal of approval from one of Hollywood's biggest names.
The cast is a veritable who's who of established and up-and-coming talent, with June Diane Raphael and Tom Everett Scott bringing to life Elle's parents, Eva and Wyatt. Joining them on set are Jacob Moskovitz as Miles, Gabrielle Policano as Liz, Chandler Kinney as Kimberly, Zac Looker as Dustin, Amy Pietz as Donna, and newcomer Maitreyi Ramakrishnan as Sam – a firecracker of a character who's sure to ruffle some feathers with her sharp tongue and keen eye for detail.
But what does the future hold? With production now complete and a release date looming on the horizon (rumour has it we'll see the second season drop sometime in 2027), one thing's for certain – fans will be holding their breath as Elle navigates the ups and downs of high school life. And with show creator Laura Kittrell promising a seamless continuation of the story, there's no doubt that 'Elle' is here to stay.
Sam, played by Ramakrishnan, is set to be a thorn in Elle's side – a foil to her optimism and a force to be reckoned with. Described as "ambitious" but lacking in positivity, Sam is the founder and editor-in-chief of the school newspaper and the self-proclaimed 'commissioner of the grammar police'. Get ready for sparks to fly as these two dynamic characters collide!
Kittrell has confirmed that season two will pick up where the first left off, so be sure to catch up on those cliffhangers before the new episodes arrive. And with a talented cast and creative team at the helm, one thing's certain – 'Elle' is about to take centre stage once again.
