Amazon MGM Studios and Reese Witherspoon's Hello Sunshine are reportedly nearing the search for the next Elle Woods, who will headline their upcoming prequel series "Legally Blonde."
Lexi Mientri (The Murdaugh Murders) and Madison Wolfe (True Detective, Mayfair Witches) have auditioned for the role, as Deadline has learned. According to insider sources, no decision has been made yet; it is expected soon. Representatives from Amazon MGM Studios and Hello Sunshine declined to comment on this matter.
These two actresses are said to have become finalists in a large casting call, which involved dozens of young actresses vying for a potentially star-making role that propelled Witherspoon into A-list Hollywood status after she portrayed the character as an adult in the hit romantic comedy "Legally Blonde" (2001) and its sequel "Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde" (2003).
