What Will the ‘Legally Blonde’ TV Series be About?
Variety reported in April 2024 that plot details aren’t available yet. The original 2001 film focused on Elle Woods: a California college student who loves fashion and gets accepted into Harvard Law to win her boyfriend, Warner, back. However, upon seeing her potential and talent as a lawyer, Elle realizes what ultimately matters to her.
In the 2003 sequel, Elle takes her career to Washington D.C. to outlaw testing on animals. While working in D.C., she runs into the rigid and judgmental Congresspeople and lawyers, who deride Elle for her fashion and demeanor.
