About the series

Elle Woods is known as a confident, stylish and successful lawyer. But long before building a career in law, she was an ordinary high school student forced to leave everything familiar behind and start over. The series takes viewers back to 1995, when Elle’s family moves from sunny Los Angeles to Seattle because of her father’s career. Suddenly, Elle has to say goodbye to her friends, her familiar surroundings and the life she knows. At her new school, she is an outsider, but she refuses to give up her glamorous style or the personality that sets her apart. At the same time, she begins figuring out who she really wants to become. Her teenage years bring plenty of challenges: first love, heartbreak, school rivalries, gossip and the constant pressure to fit in. Every experience pushes Elle to become more independent and teaches her to stand up for herself instead of letting other people define her. Little by little, the determined young woman she will eventually become begins to take shape. The series serves as a prequel to the story audiences know from Legally Blonde, revealing where Elle’s confidence, ambition and determination came from. Years later, after her fiancé leaves her because he considers her too frivolous for his future, Elle turns the breakup into motivation. She follows him to Harvard Law School, determined to prove that her appearance says nothing about her intelligence or potential. But her drive to succeed was already there long before Harvard. Her school years taught Elle how to handle rejection, overcome setbacks and fight for what she believes in — qualities that would eventually help her become a successful lawyer and find her true calling.
