"Legally Blonde" TV Series in Development

A television series based on the classic 2000 rom-com movie "Legally Blonde" is in development at Prime Video as part of the studio's new strategy. 

Ever since Amazon acquired MGM and all of its catalog, there was a variety of intellectual properties they could use to their advantage across film and television.

In the 2001 film version, Reese Witherspoon played Elle Woods, a woman determined to prove everyone around her was wrong about how far she could go to accomplish her goals. After her boyfriend, Warner Huntington III (Matthew Davis), breaks up with her because he thinks she wouldn't fit his new lifestyle as a senator.

Elle decides that she wouldn't let anyone decide how smart she could be, and after a lot of effort and hard work, she is able to get into Harvard Law School, located on the same campus where Warner studied. Unfortunately, Elle would need to brace for a surprise.

Warner had no problem moving on from their relationship and even got engaged to his ex-girlfriend (Selma Blair) by the time Woods was able to make it to Harvard. Realizing her former partner never actually cared about her, Elle abandons the dream of getting back together with him and instead focuses on the doors her career opened for her. 

Elle is able to solve a crime using her "superficial" knowledge about how recently-permed hair can't be washed a full day after the treatment.

"Legally Blonde" became incredibly successful and spawned two more movies "Legally Blonde 2", which premiered in theaters two years later with Reese Witherspoon returning to the role. 

The blockbuster is developing a third entry with Witherspoon reprising the role. But, as of now, it remains unclear if she's involved with what Prime Video is working on.
