Reese Witherspoon, in collaboration with Hello Sunshine, is embarking on a new venture by bringing one of her iconic roles to the small screen. They are currently developing a Legally Blonde spinoff TV series, derived from the beloved film franchise, set to be produced by Amazon MGM Studios.
Who Are Involved
Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, celebrated for their endeavors on Gossip Girl, are steering the project’s evolution. Working under their esteemed Fake Empire banner, they mysteriously cloak the project’s particulars. Moreover, the involvement of Reese Witherspoon, Lauren Neustadter, representing Hello Sunshine, and Marc Platt, the architect behind the Legally Blonde cinematic saga, adds depth to the production. This alliance harmonizes the forces of Hello Sunshine (a subsidiary of Candle Media), Fake Empire, and Amazon MGM Studios.
Past of the Franchise
The Legally Blonde movie series debuted in 2001, written by Karen McCullah Lutz and Kirsten Smith, and based on Amanda Brown’s book. Reese Witherspoon’s portrayal of Elle Woods, a Harvard Law student, garnered widespread acclaim, propelling her career to new heights. The first film’s success led to sequels: Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde in 2003 and Legally Blondes, a 2009 direct-to-video spinoff initially conceived as a TV pilot. Despite years of anticipation, Legally Blonde 3, with a script by Mindy Kaling and Dan Goor, is still developing.
Conclusion
The news of Reese Witherspoon’s collaboration with ‘Gossip Girl’ producers for a “Legally Blonde” TV series reboot marks an exciting development for fans of the franchise. With a stellar team behind the project and a rich history of success, anticipation is high for what this new iteration will bring to audiences.
