'Elle' trailer captures 'Legally Blonde' energy perfectly

It’s all going perfectly for Elle in this Legally Blonde prequel series trailer. Her world is pink and full of sunshine. But then it all gets flipped on its head when she and her family have to move to… Seattle!!!! THE HORROR OF IT ALL. WILL THE TRAGEDIES NEVER END?

Elle is suddenly feeling very blonde in a world of rainy days, earth tones, and grown-out roots. But what’s a girl to do? Get support from Bruiser Woods and get out there. The synopsis for Elle released with the trailer shares, “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.“

As they say, we love you, Elle! And truly hope this sequel series is able to capture the real magic of the original movie. In addition to the Elle trailer, here are a few more details about the Legally Blonde prequel series:
