\"Send your submissions to the link in my bio,\" she added. \"I cannot wait to see all the Elle Woods out there. This is going to be really fun.\"

Witherspoon said that her company Hello Sunshine is partnering with Amazon on the casting search.

Prime Video announced the news of \"Elle\" during its upfront presentation in May.

The series will follow Woods during her high school years \"as we learn about the life experiences that shaped her into the iconic young woman we came to know and love in the first Legally Blonde film,\" according to the streamer.
