Prime Video’s Legally Blonde prequel TV show, Elle, has revealed its first trailer and poster. It features Lexi Minetree (Law & Order: SVU) in the lead role of Elle Woods.
The official synopsis for Elle reads, “Season One of Elle follows Elle Woods before she was a fish-out-of-water at Harvard. We meet her in 1995 as a fish in the tumultuous waters of high school where she encounters tricky friendships, forbidden romance, and questionable fashion choices.
Through it all, Elle uses her family as a touchstone, and forms an even tighter bond to her mother, proving that they can get through anything life throws their way as long as they have each other. With each challenge she faces, Elle grows closer to the Elle Woods we know and love today.”
