Reese Witherspoon is bringing an old classic back with a new twist: a "Legally Blonde" TV series.
Witherspoon, 48, and her Hello Sunshine company under Candle Media will produce the series alongside Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage's production company Fake Empire and Amazon MGM Studios, a rep for Amazon Prime Video confirmed to USA TODAY Thursday.
"Gossip Girl" creators and writers Schwartz and Savage will be writing the script for the television series.
Plot details are unavailable and it's unclear if Witherspoon will star in the spinoff.
Witherspoon's "Legally Blonde" became a pop culture phenomenon when it hit theaters in 2001. The movie, starring the actress as sorority girl Elle Woods on a mission to win her boyfriend back at Harvard as he plans to devote his time to law school. The character based on Amanda Brown's novel adopted the motto: "If you can't beat them, join them."
The movie went on to gross over $140 million worldwide, per Box Office Mojo.
Witherspoon came back for the sequel "Legally Blonde 2: Red, White, and Blonde" in 2003, but did not participate in the lesser acknowledged "Legally Blondes" in 2009.
Reese Witherspoon talks Apple TV+ drama'Surface,' how new 'Top Gun' inspired 'Legally Blonde 3'
Since 2018, a "Legally Blonde 3" has been in talks to be written by Mindy Kaling but there has not been any timeline on when to expect the project.
"I'm still hoping that 'Legally Blonde 3' is gonna come together in the right way," Witherspoon told USA TODAY in July 2022. "It's just like 'Top Gun': They waited a long time to make another version of that movie, and I loved the nostalgia piece they incorporated in it. So definitely that gave us a lot of inspiration about what we would want to do with Elle Woods and make sure that we had all those same touchstones that mattered to people (back) then."
She added: "I feel like these characters are my friends, so I safeguard them. I would never make the subpar, mediocre version of their story."
