Reese Witherspoon has given an exciting update on the upcoming Legally Blonde series.
Last year, Prime Video announced that a prequel series of the beloved movie is in the works.
Our favourite blonde lawyer will return to our screens, however, this time we will see Elle Woods during her high school years.
The series, titled Elle, is being produced by Reese Witherspoon’s media company, Hello Sunshine.
Now, the actress has revealed that they have begun casting with filming being set to begin in March.
Speaking to PEOPLE Magazine, Reese revealed: “I’m really excited. We start in March.”
“I’m really excited because we’re going through the casting process right now and we’re picking who is going to play the young me.”
The 48-year-old continued to confess: “It’s kind of a trip.”
“It’s so exciting too, to watch these young girls that are so filled with enthusiasm and excitement and completely… There’s so many good ones.”
“That’s the hard thing because there’s so many good people to choose from.”
According to Prime, the series follows Elle during high school “as we learn about the life experiences that shaped her into the iconic young woman we came to know and love in the first Legally Blonde film.”
The show is being created by Laura Kittrell, who serve as its executive producer and showrunner.
Reese, who starred in the original film, will also act as executive producer alongside Lauren Neustadter, Lauren Kisilevsky and Marc Platt.
