Prime Video has officially released the Elle teaser trailer.
For fans of the beloved Legally Blonde, this will be a glimpse into Elle Woods’ life before Harvard Law.
What is Elle About?
The Elle series is set in 1995. In the Elle teaser, Elle Woods just celebrated her birthday in Bel-Air when her father, Wyatt, informs her he “had to look for other work.” His new workplace? Seattle.
Elle must trade in her bright pink Bel-Air world for a rainy Pacific Northwest town with many flannel-clad high schoolers.
According to the logline, the series follows Elle “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.”

Elle season 1 premieres on Prime Video on July 1st.
The series has already been renewed for a second season, which should start production later this year.
