What is 'Elle' Season 1 about?

Season 1 of Elle follows Elle Woods before she was a fish-out-of-water at Harvard. We meet her in 1995 during her high school years, 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.
"25 years after the world met Elle Woods for the first time, it's a dream come true to share the story of how she became the unstoppable force we all fell in love with," said Reese Witherspoon, who played Elle in the original 2001 movie Legally Blonde.
"Discovering Lexi Minetree [who portrays Elle here] and watching her step into Elle's fabulous shoes has been one of the most gratifying experiences of my career. I think our series' themes of kindness, authenticity, and believing in yourself will resonate deeply with fans of the original films and new audiences alike.
"Working with our incredible Hello Sunshine team, Amazon, and our visionary writers and directors to bring Elle's high school journey to life has been a tremendous joy. I can't wait to share Season 1 with the world and start rolling cameras on Season 2!"
