With Legally Blonde often hailed as one of the biggest and funniest comedies, it`s no wonder fans have been eagerly awaiting news of a trio. Fortunately, we all got our wish. The franchise is expected to return to the big screen with a third film, nearly 20 years after the release of Legally Blonde 2.

The outlet confirmed that Witherspoon will return as a blonde lawyer defending herself against Catcalls and won`t advocate for a sister sister to be wrongly accused of murdering her husband — after all: “Happy people don`t kill their husbands!” “I haven`t spoken to Reese about it, but yes, I still hear rumors here and there,” he said. “It`s never an official thing for them to do another `Legal Blonde`, but I`d love to do another one. I mean, just this character that Reese was playing was so funny back then, and it`s kind of become this iconic character now. We all loved Jennifer Coolidge as Paulette, obvi, and it seems like there`s a chance Jennifer will return — Reese gave some information about the film in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter in 2019, saying there will be familiar faces and that “it will be Jennifer Coolidge`s return that`s the greatest.” We love hearing it!!! In June 2018, Reese revealed that Legally Blonde 3 was in the works with an Instagram video in which she was lounging on a pool float in a pink sequined bikini. “That`s right,” she wrote next door, because two words and a three-second clip were really enough to announce the return of such an iconic film. “I love Jennifer Coolidge, Luke Wilson and Selma Blair and there are so many great characters that people love,” Reese told Entertainment Tonight. Kaling took to social media after the news, saying, “Finally a use for my Elle Woods fanfiction! So excited to be reunited with my friends [Reese Witherspoon, Lauren Neustadter] and Dan Goor to work on this film. Elle Woods is so iconic and proves that you can be girly and smart at the same time. Bend down and catch people! Since then, more details and information about what`s next have slowly come out.

In 2018, Witherspoon Entertainment told Tonight that they had a meeting where they discussed “all the new plot points and all the characters, some recurring characters and new characters”.
