It is an official High School prequel
The brand-new series takes us straight back to 1995 to show us exactly how a 16-year-old Elle Woods became the fashion-forward, hyper-confident icon we met at Harvard. Created by showrunner Laura Kittrell, the eight-episode first season follows our heroine six years before the events of the original 2001 movie, navigating teenage heartbreaks, high school hierarchy, and the formidable life lessons that shaped her signature personality.
