Amazon Brings Back the Ultimate Girl Power Romcom from the 2000s

Summary:

• With all other hits from more than 20 years ago having their reboots in the near future, there’s one more cult film series that’s getting a TV spin-off.
• Over the years the films have acquired a status of a cultural phenomenon which brutally debunks main stereotypes about blonde girls.
• The release date for the upcoming reboot hasn’t been announced yet.

The Time Machine to the 2000s has never worked as hard as right now with all the iconic shows and films from back then coming to the screens again in a modern shape — and the recent news proves it once again.

According to Deadline, in a couple of years we’ll get to see a renewed version of the cult film series that helped boost Reese Witherspoon’s career back in the 2000s.

It’s just been reported that Legally Blonde, a worldwide famous romcom that stars Reese Witherspoon as a glamorous sorority girl who is determined to become a successful lawyer, is coming back to the screens, but this time as a TV adaptation.

Amazon MGM is responsible for the development and production with Reese Witherspoon’s production company Hello Sunshine on board as well.

The news comes as a real incentive for numerous fans across the world to mark their calendars as the original film and its sequels over the years have become a real cultural phenomenon.

The plot initially deludes the viewer by the first appearance of Elle Woods, portrayed by Witherspoon, who embraces literally all stereotypes about blonde girls: she cares about fashion more than anything else in the world, has a tiny chihuahua and dreams about her perfect carefree life with smart boyfriend Warner who aspires to be a lawyer.

When Elle’s biggest dreams are shattered by her involuntary breakup with Warner, she decides to win him back and enters Harvard Law School — and here all the stereotypes are set aside.

The character eventually proves to be much more than just a mediocre blonde and her purposeful journey from a fashion merchandising student to a proclaimed advocate has become a truly inspiring story for the girls across the world.

There’s no release date for the spin-off yet, but you can stream all Legally Blonde films on HBO Max.
