Amazon MGM Studios and Reese Witherspoon's Hello Sunshine are said to be closing in on finding the next Elle Woods to headline their upcoming prequel series, Legally Blonde.

According to internal sources, a decision has not yet been made; it is expected in the near future. Representatives from Amazon MGM Studios and Hello Sunshine declined to comment for this story.
The two actresses were reportedly finalists in a major casting call that featured dozens of young actresses vying for the potentially starring role that catapulted Witherspoon into the ranks of A-list Hollywood stars after she portrayed the character as an adult in the hit romantic comedy Legally Blonde (2001) and its sequel Legally Blonde 2: Legally Blonde 2: Red, White and Blonde (2003).
