Elle is the new Legally Blonde prequel series on Prime Video, but what songs appear on the soundtrack? Find out below.
Created by Laura Kittrell, the show stars Lexi Minetree as a teenage Elle Woods, the character made famous by Reese Witherspoon in the original Legally Blonde films.
Set in 1995, the series follows Elle during her high school years, long before she heads to Harvard Law School, as her life is upended when she moves from Bel-Air to Seattle.
The cast also includes June Diane Raphael as Elle’s mother Eva, Tom Everett Scott as her father Wyatt, Jacob Moskovitz as Miles, Gabrielle Policano as Liz, Chandler Kinney as Kimberly, Zac Looker as Dustin and Amy Pietz as Donna.
Witherspoon serves as an executive producer on the show, which arrived on Prime Video on July 1. All eight episodes of the first season are available to stream now.

In a four-star review of the show, NME wrote: “In Elle’s world, anybody can be won over with the power of optimism, a wisecrack and a shared love of Chanel. Simpler times? Certainly. There are no hotshot lawyers here, but it’s still an arresting watch.”
