What streaming service released the Legally Blonde prequel series Elle?

Amazon Prime Video released the Legally Blonde prequel series Elle.

The show premiered on Prime Video on July 1, 2026, as an Amazon original production. It was developed for television by Laura Kittrell and produced through companies including Amazon MGM Studios, MGM Television, and Reese Witherspoon’s Hello Sunshine.

The series expands the Legally Blonde universe by following teenage Elle Woods before the events of the 2001 film. Lexi Minetree plays the younger Elle, while the story is set in the 1990s and focuses on her high-school years rather than her later life at Harvard Law School.

The service name can cause minor confusion: “Amazon Prime Video” is the formal answer commonly used in trivia, while “Prime Video” is the platform’s shorter current branding. HBO Max, Hulu, and Netflix are separate streaming services and did not release this series.
