The Legally Blonde franchise began with the 2001 film, which became a global box office hit, earning more than $140 million worldwide. A sequel followed in 2003, with the story later expanding into a Broadway musical in 2007. While a third film was released direct-to-video in 2009 without Witherspoon in the lead, her involvement as a producer helped keep the character’s legacy alive, now continuing with Elle on Prime Video.
