Everything We Know About Prime Video’s Elle

A girl’s best friend is…pink! That’s what Elle Woods taught us in Legally Blonde…and she wasn’t wrong. But how did she become the woman we know? That’s another story. And Elleis here to tell it. Here’s everything we know about the show.

Season 1 of Elle follows Elle Woods 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. With each challenge she faces, Elle grows closer to the Elle Woods we know and love today.

The Season 1 cast includes Lexi Minetree as Elle Woods, June Diane Raphael as Elle’s mother Eva, and Tom Everett Scott as her father Wyatt, alongside Jacob Moskovitz, Gabrielle Policano, Chandler Kinney, Zac Looker, and Amy Pietz. Recurring cast members include Jessica Belkin, Danielle Chand, Matt Oberg, Chloe Wepper, Logan Shroyer, Sharon Taylor, David Burtka, Brad Harder, Kayla Maisonet, Lisa Yamada, and James Van Der Beek.

Created by Laura Kittrell, Elle is co-showrun and executive produced by Kittrell and Caroline Dries. Reese Witherspoon, Lauren Neustadter, Amanda Brown and Marc Platt also serve as executive producers. Jason Moore directed the first two episodes of Season 1, and also serves as an executive producer. Bryan J. Raber and Asmita Paranjape serve as producers. Josie Craven and Jen Regan serve as supervising producers.

I’m passionate about strong women, complex characters and a ship that unites the two, but above all, I love writing about them and unraveling the intricacies behind each character. The need to put those thoughts into words was what led me to become a critic. The time as a professional one taught me that writing is an art and, therefore, it never stops changing and offering new experiences.
