Created by Laura Kittrell, Caroline Dries
Before Elle Woods was a fish-out-of-water at Harvard, we meet her in 1995 in the tumultuous waters of high school where she encounters tricky friendships, forbidden romance, and questionable fashion choices. In this unexpected chapter of her adolescence, we learn about the experiences that shaped Elle into the iconic young woman we've come to know and love. From TMDB

Reactions
60 of 135 · most liked firstMargo's Got Money Troubles is a really good show! I always enjoy Elle Fanning and the whole cast is great in this (shout-out to Michelle Pfeiffer and Nick Offerman too). Only note: Elle being a decade-ish older than her character makes the initial grooming relationship look less visably messed-up
positive · AI labelView post →Lexi Minetree has been cast as Elle Woods in the upcoming ‘Legally Blonde’ prequel series.
neutral · AI labelView post →I think the Amazon prequel series for Elle woods grossly misreads the appeal of Legally Blonde. Its fans don’t want a series on what she was like for a couple years in Seattle as a teen when she was popular and performatively empty headed or w/e, they want the well written sequel where she kidnaps…
negative · AI labelView post →It's late so I feel compelled to show Elle off tonight (I think I haven't here yet?). Weird toy fairy trifox thing..... prone to messing with folks as much as the other way around. (first one is also an older doodle, hence the odd bits 💦)

negative · AI labelView post →I have a few thoughts on Vibe Check, a new show ESPN has announced on streaming. First off: Glad to see the talented Elle Duncan, Monica McNutt, Hannah Storm, Chiney Ogwumike and Andraya Carter get their own show on ESPN. They will be must-see TV.

We were the first MCU TV show & we did 130-something hour-long episodes. We spent a lot of time in people’s homes.” (via Elle)

neutral · AI labelView post →I think "Elle" must be the most depressing idea for a show I've ever heard: a prequel to LEGALLY BLONDE, so it takes place before she gained self-esteem and agency. They'd be better off making a prequel to Paul Verhoeven's ELLE.

neutral · AI labelView post →Amazon MGM have gone straight to a second season of Elle, a new show about legal beagle Elle Woods from the Legally Blonde films. Despite Reese Witherspoon's name in the credits, this prequel about Elle's high school years in Seattle feels inessential. 2 out of 5. film-authority.com/2026/07/04/e...
