Lexi Minetree Reveals Advice Reese Witherspoon Offered Her for ‘Legally Blonde' Prequel ‘Elle'
Lexi Minetree is grateful she has Reese Witherspoon in her corner while filming the upcoming Legally Blonde prequel series Elle.
"She's just the best. She's so warm and so caring," Minetree, 23, who plays the younger version of Witherspoon's character, exclusively told Us Weekly at the Amazon Upfronts on Monday, May 12. "She's always checking in with me."
Minetree felt thankful for the support Witherspoon, 49, has shown her, adding, "[She's] making sure I'm drinking enough water, making sure I'm getting enough rest and making sure I'm just taking in every moment, which I really appreciate. She's amazing."
While preparing to embody the role of Elle Woods, Minetree recalled watching the original movie "over 50 times."
What to Know About Prime Video's 'Legally Blonde' Prequel 'Elle': Returning Cast Members and More
"As for making it my own, one of the directors, Jason Moore, said something that really stuck with me. He said, 'Do the work, do the prep and then throw it away and let your instinct take over,'" she shared with Us. "That's really what I've tried to take to heart and add my own little thing to it."
Based on Amanda Brown's novel, the 2001 movie Legally Blonde introduced Us to Elle Woods (Witherspoon), a sorority girl who attempted to win back her ex-boyfriend Warner (Matthew Davis) by attending Harvard Law School. Luke Wilson, Selma Blair, Victor Garber and Jennifer Coolidge rounded out the cast, which inspired a second movie two years later.
News broke in 2018 that Witherspoon had teamed up with Mindy Kaling for Legally Blonde 3 — but there has been no real update since. Instead, the focus has shifted to Prime Video's prequel series Elle, which according to the official synopsis follows the titular character in high school as "we learn about the life experiences that shaped her into the iconic young woman we came to know and love in the first Legally Blonde film. In other words, get ready for the teen years of this legendary lawyer's story."
"Elle is in high school so she's still trying to figure out who she is as a person," Minetree teased on Monday. "She definitely loves fashion, just like she did in the movie. But again, I think what audiences are going to love is [that] she really gets to discover herself during this time."

Joining the project has made Minetree even more appreciative of Elle's favorite color, adding, "I do think I definitely need to love pink now but I've always enjoyed it, which I think is a good thing."
As for who from the original movie Minetree would like to see make a cameo? "I would love it if Jennifer Coolidge can make an appearance," she noted. "She's just the best. Who doesn't love Jennifer Coolidge?"
In addition to Minetree, Elle's parents will be played by June Diane Raphael and Tom Everett Scott. Chandler Kinney, Gabrielle Policano and Jacob Moskovitz were also announced as series regulars.
Elle will premiere in summer 2026 on Prime Video.

‘Summer I Turned Pretty' Cast's Hints About Possible Love Triangle Outcome and Season 3 Changes
The Summer I Turned Pretty cast is just as invested in the love triangle outcome as fans are — but what have they said about potential changes to the endgame relationship? Prime Video's hit series, which debuted in June 2022, is based on a book series of the same name by showrunner Jenny Han. The Summer I Turned Pretty focuses on Belly (Lola Tung) who gets caught up in a love triangle where after exploring her feelings for Conrad (Christopher Briney), she starts to reconsider whether his brother, Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno), is her perfect match. In the original book trilogy, Belly made her final choice in We'll Always Have Summer, which will presumably inspire the third season of the show. Fans, however, have questioned whether the story will follow the events of the book series or whether there will be changes. Han hasn't given much information away except to confirm that the final season will raise the stakes, writing via Instagram in December 2024, 'One thing I'll say about season 3 of [The Summer I Turned Pretty] ... there are no filler episodes.' Which 'Summer I Turned Pretty' Characters Are — and Aren't — Returning for the 3rd and Final Season There seem to be plans to expand the Summer I Turned Pretty universe — no matter the outcome. "I will say stay tuned, but Jenny's got some exciting surprises. So we're thrilled about a season 3, and she's got a vision for more," Vernon Sanders, the head of television at Amazon and MGM Studios, told Deadline in September 2023. "This show is going to continue to be a huge centerpiece for us, and we absolutely have plans to continue building it. Jenny's got great vision for where she wants to go with all of it, but we're already hard at work developing complementary pieces.' Keep scrolling for everything the cast has said about whether Belly will choose Conrad or Jeremiah: "I do feel like there's a strong chance that that's a possibility," he exclusively told Us Weekly in June 2023 about the show potentially straying from the original events in the books. "Obviously, I know where [my character Jeremiah] ends up going and what ends up happening. But I don't emphasize on that. Because I think Jenny writes it so well that I'm able to kind of get there naturally without having to force it in a certain direction." After season 1 debuted on Prime Video, Han hinted that her vision for the show may not mirror the events in the books. "I really had to weigh what the fans are expecting with where the show is going creatively and find that balance," she told Variety in June 2022. "My priority has always been that I want fans of the book to feel really satisfied by the story we're telling, but also for them to know that this is an adaptation in a new medium, so it's not going to be exactly the same. I think those are sort of the two things that are always in my head. Han added: "I don't want to spoil too much but the books have been out for a while. You never know what could happen with the show. I was open minded going into it. I was considering a lot of different possibilities." More recently, Han teased that changes were coming, telling Entertainment Weekly in March 2025, "There are going to be surprises. There are the things that [book fans] know and then there are things they think they know, and then there's going to be, hopefully, things that surprise them." Two months later, Han told the outlet there would be a 'satisfying' ending for everyone. 'A successful love triangle is one where, no matter what happens, people are going to be devastated and heartbroken," Han hinted. 'Because if the answer feels really clear and easy, then there's no real conflict. No matter what you do, someone's going to be hurt by it.' 6 Book Moments We Want on 'Summer I Turned Pretty' Season 3 — Including Those Belly and Conrad Scenes The actress showed support for onscreen shakeups. "The one thing I've always admired about Jenny is that every season and every decision about what's coming next is purely to serve the story," she explained to EW that same month. "She's never going to do anything that doesn't make sense for the story." Tung continued: "It's all about this beautiful world she's created and giving the fans something really, really special and giving us something really special to work with." Briney hasn't revealed who Belly could choose — but he has some thoughts on the back and forth. 'It's all unreal expectations. It's all ridiculous," he told InStyle in January 2024 before weighing in on Conrad story lines, "You're not going to go to Stanford. You're not going to go to a beach town every summer and fall in love with your mom's friend's f***ing whatever. It's not going to happen. It's stupid. That's not how life works.'

11 Great Comedy Movies on Amazon Prime Video Right Now (May 2025)
While some streamers shy away from older movies, Amazon Prime Video embraces classic comedies like Animal House, which returned to the streamer this month. Prime Video does have a handful of original comedy movies as well, but the best ones still tend to be older titles like The Big Lebowski.

After the Big Lebowski's trophy wife, Bunny (Tara Reid), is kidnapped, the Dude is roped into delivering the ransom money.

Animal House may be the movie he's best known for, and it's still one of the all-time comedy classics nearly five decades later. Belushi plays John "Bluto" Blutarsky, one of the beloved members of Delta Tau Chi House at Faber College in 1962. If you've ever heard the term "double secret probation," it came from this movie because Bluto and the boys made an enemy out of Dean Vernon Wormer (John Vernon). He wants Delta house shut down at all costs, and the frat's wild antics give him all the ammunition he would ever need. Animal House is streaming on Prime Video. Barbie's Ryan Gosling dives into this adaptation of the '80s TV series The Fall Guy, which doesn't share a lot in common with its predecessor besides its name. Instead, this action comedy goes its own way with Colt Seavers (Gosling), a stuntman who is so burnt out on Hollywood that he leaves the industry and his girlfriend, Jody Moreno (Emily Blunt), a year later, Colt is drawn back into Hollywood's orbit on Jody's first film as a director.

Get Shorty is streaming on Prime Video. The Batman's Jeffrey Wright takes on a leading role in American Fiction as Dr. Thelonious "Monk" Ellison, an academic scholar and novelist. However, Monk's books don't sell very well, and he's openly jealous of another writer, Sintara Golden (Issa Rae), whose highly successful books perpetuate several Black stereotypes. In response, Monk writes his own Black literature satire, and he's subsequently stunned when publishers can't wait to sell it. Suddenly, Monk has all of the success he's ever dreamed about, but he also has to take on the persona of a fake fugitive author while perpetuating the same stereotypes that Sintara uses in her Fiction is streaming on Prime Video. Five decades ago, the Monty Python comedy group unleashed one of the all-time great comedy movies: Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin all play multiple roles in this hilarious take on Arthurian even King Arthur (Chapman) is immune to ridicule in this retelling. Arthur and his men are on a quest to find the Holy Grail, and they do some very silly things along the way. Arthur's duel with the Black Knight (Cleese) is particularly quotable even after 50 years. This is a comedic masterpiece that few films have ever matched. Monty Python and the Holy Grail is streaming on Prime Video. Monty Python strikes again with Life of Brian, a spoof of Biblical proportions that centers on Brian Cohen (Graham Chapman), a man who had the misfortune of being born on the same day as Jesus (Kenneth Colley). At birth, Brian is mistaken for the messiah, and it's a recurring theme throughout his infatuation with Judith Iscariot (Sue Jones-Davies) leads him into the revolutionary factions who want to break Judaea free from Roman rule. From there, Brian's story becomes increasingly absurd, including his face-to-face meeting with Rome's governor of Judaea, Pontius Pilate (Michael Palin). This movie is hysterically funny for reasons you'll just have to see for of Brian is streaming on Prime Video. There are currently only two movies by comedy legend Mel Brooks that are available to Prime Video subscribers: Spaceballs and Life Stinks. The former isn't always regarded as a comedy classic, but it's beloved by Star Wars fans for its very funny take on the plays Skroob, the leader of the evil Spaceballs who want to steal the atmosphere of Planet Druidia. When the safety of Druidia's Princess Vespa (Daphne Zuniga) is threatened by Skroob's nerdy enforcer, Dark Helmet (Rick Moranis), Bill Pullman does his best Han Solo impression while trying to save her as Lone Starr alongside his human/canine companion Barf (John Candy).Spaceballs is streaming on Prime Video. Joel and Ethan Coen made movies before Fargo, but this crime comedy was their critical and commercial breakthrough. Frances McDormand leads the cast as Marge Gunderson, a pregnant police chief who is investigating the kidnapping of Jean Lundegaard (Kristin Rudrüd).The Coen brothers reveal right away that Jean's husband, Jerry (William H. Macy), orchestrated the kidnapping to extort his wealthy father-in-law, Wade Gustafson (Harve Presnell). Jerry also vastly underestimated the stupidity of Carl Showalter (Steve Buscemi) and Gaear Grimsrud (Peter Stormare), the two losers he hired to kidnap his wife. Carl and Gaear may be idiots, but their violent nature also leaves a string of dead bodies in their is streaming on Prime Video. Steve Martin, Chevy Chase and Martin Short play silent movie stars in Three Amigos, a film Martin co-wrote with Saturday Night Live creator Lorne Michaels and Randy Newman. When the stars of the fictitious Three Amigos films ask for a raise, Lucky Day (Martin), Dusty Bottoms (Chase) and Ned Nederlander (Short) suddenly find themselves out of Mexico, a young woman named Carmen (Patrice Martinez) sees the Three Amigos movies and assumes that the actors are real heroes. She summons them to take on the bandit El Guapo (Alfonso Arau) and his men. Unfortunately for the trio, they don't realize they're really in danger until after they're staring down the bandits' guns. Three Amigos is streaming on Prime Video. Writer and director Richard Linklater clearly has an eye for talent, as several of his Dazed and Confused actors went on to become big stars. This is one of the earliest movies to feature Matthew McConaughey, Ben Affleck, Renée Zellweger, Milla Jovovich, Parker Posey and more. The story takes place in 1976 on the last day of high school as the incoming male and female freshmen are brutally hazed by their senior counterparts. Star football player Randall "Pink" Floyd (Jason London) considers himself above it all, and he won't even sign the same loyalty promise as his teammates. Pink and several of his classmates experience different sides of student life, some of which are very funny to watch. But it's also a coming-of-age story for these kids, which is why it still resonates. Dazed and Confused is streaming on Prime Video.

16 Great TV Shows on Amazon Prime Video Right Now (May 2025)
Few streamers keep a foot in the past and the present in the same way that Amazon Prime Video curates its lineup of TV shows. In the last few weeks alone, Prime Video has debuted new shows like The Bondsman and The Narrow Road to the Deep North, as well as the teen drama Motorheads, which debuted at No. 1 on Amazon's most popular TV chart. Prime Video also has a strong library of classic television series, including Spaced, a cult-favorite British sitcom that helped make Simon Pegg into a star years before he was costarring in the Mission: Impossible movies. All of these series can be found among the 16 great TV shows on Amazon Prime Video right now. Need more recommendations? Then read Best New Shows to Watch on Netflix, Max, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video and More, Best Comedy Shows to Stream Right Now and Best TV Shows on Amazon Prime Video Right may remind some viewers of the first Fast and the Furious movie if it was envisioned through a YA lens. Michael Cimino and Melissa Collazo star as siblings Zac and Caitlyn Torres, a pair of teens who move back to their father's hometown to live with their uncle, Logan Maddox (Ryan Phillippe). Michael and Melissa are trying to escape the shadow of their father, Christian Maddox (Deacon Phillippe), who was a racing legend in his era. It doesn't take long for the siblings to make an enemy out of Harris Bowers (Josh Macqueen), a rich kid with a reputation for being the best racer in town. To take Harris down, they're going to need to restore their dad's old Charger and enlist the help of their very reluctant uncle. Motorheads is streaming on Prime Video. Five years before Shawn of the Dead hit theaters, Simon Pegg and Jessica Stevenson co-created and starred in the British sitcom Spaced. They played Tim Bisley and Daisy Steiner, two strangers who decide to pretend to be a couple in order to land a new place to live that is run under a very strict set of rules by their landlady, Marsha Klein (Julia Deakin). Edgar Wright — the director of Shawn of the Dead — helmed every episode of Spaced, while Pegg's frequent co-star, Nick Frost, played Tim's best friend, Mike Watt. Spaced had a very bizarre and even surreal sense of humor, while Tim and Daisy spent a lot of time denying they were a couple to their friends even though there is clearly an attraction between them. Spaced is streaming on Prime Video. Hub Halloran (Kevin Bacon) is dead, but he gets better in The Bondsman. While he was alive, Hub was one of the best bounty hunters in the south. That's a talent that the devil won't let go to waste. Through his intermediary, Midge Kusatsu (Jolene Purdy), the devil resurrects Hub with a new mission in life to hunt down escaped demons and send them back to Hell. This wasn't something that Hub asked for, but he'll take his second chance at life to fix some of the mistakes he made the first time. That includes mending fences with his family and rediscovering some of the passions that he left behind. He'll be a better man if he can keep up his end of the devil's bargain. The Bondsman is streaming on Prime Video. Nathan Fillion had his first true breakout role as novelist Richard Castle on ABC's Castle. After meeting NYPD Detective Kate Beckett (Stana Katic), Castle is so taken by her that he decides to write a new book featuring a main character based on her. Castle then pulls some strings with the mayor to get permission to follow Beckett as she investigates homicide cases. Although Beckett initially resents Castle's presence, he helps her solve many murder investigations. And as the pair grows closer, Castle learns about the investigation that Beckett has been trying to solve her entire life: the murder of her mother, Johanna Beckett. That story takes years to play out. Reportedly, Fillion and Katic didn't get along very well, but that's hard to tell from the early seasons when Castle and Beckett's romantic tension was at an all-time high. They were fun to watch together, even in the later seasons. Castle is streaming on Prime Video. Not every love affair is everlasting in The Narrow Road to the Deep North, but Dorrigo Evans () would be lost without it. This adaptation of Richard Flanagan's novel chronicles Dorrigo's torrid romance with Amy Mulvaney (Odessa Young), a young woman who is his aunt by marriage. Throughout World War II, the memory of what Dorrigo shared with Amy sustains him even while he's a prisoner of war. As Dorrigo's men die of disease and starvation around him, he holds on to the warmth and hope that Amy gave him. But his story doesn't stop after the war, and Dorrigo's life doesn't play out like a romantic fairy tale with a happy ending for everyone. The Narrow Road to the Deep North is streaming on Prime Video. Frasier Crane (Kelsey Grammer) wasn't the most popular character on Cheers three decades ago, but he was the right choice to be featured in the spinoff Frasier. This sitcom equalled the 11-season run of its predecessor and became a classic in its own series expanded Frasier's character development by introducing his brother Niles (David Hyde Pierce), their blue-collar father Martin (John Mahoney), and Martin's physical therapist Daphne Moon (Jane Leeves). Frasier also reinvented himself as a radio show host alongside his producer, Roz Doyle (Peri Gilpin). This group of performers had outstanding chemistry, and they collectively ensured that Frasier is still one of the best comedy series two decades after its conclusion. Frasier is streaming on Prime Video. Although The Wheel of Time recently returned for its third season on Prime Video, you should probably start at the beginning before diving into this show. This adaptation of Robert Jordan's novels has a dense mythology that rivals Game of Thrones in scope, and it easily outshines Prime Video's other big-budget fantasy show, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Pike leads the cast as Moiraine Damodred, a powerful channeler of magic who is seeking the Dragon Reborn, the reincarnation of one of the few men who can use magic in this world. Moiraine believes she's found the one she's looking for among four young men and women, including Rand al'Thor (Josha Stradowski) and Egwene al'Vere (Madeleine Madden). All four have hidden abilities and a destiny that will slowly unfold, but not all of them will ultimately be aligned against the coming darkness. The Wheel of Time is streaming on Prime Video. The irony of Fallout's breakthrough as one of Amazon's top series is that the video game franchise hasn't had a new game since 2018. But the retro-futuristic post-apocalypse of the games gives the TV series a rich backdrop and an intriguing mythology to Ella Purnell stars as Lucy MacLean, a young woman who has lived inside a colony deep within a vault her entire life. Lucy didn't really have any concept of what life was like outside until her colony was attacked by raiders who kidnapped her father, Hank (Kyle MacLachlan). When Lucy sets out on a rescue mission in the wasteland, one of the first people she meets is The Ghoul (Walton Goggins), a mutated man who was once an actor named Cooper Howard. The Ghoul has lived hundreds of years, and he's no friend to Lucy, but he does have some very hard lessons to teach her. Fallout is streaming on Prime Video. Invincible may seem like an overnight success for Amazon, but the comic it's based on is 22 years old and still resonates with this adaptation. Co-creator Robert Kirkman (The Walking Dead) has a knack for creating likable characters and then putting them through horrible things. This show may be animated, but it hits harder than many R-rated films with its brutal action. And it doesn't shy away from the toll that violence takes on the heroes and the world around Grayson (Steven Yeun) grew up in the shadow of the world's strongest hero, his father, Omni-Man (J. K. Simmons). Once Mark comes into his powers as Invincible, he discovers his father's true agenda for Earth. If Mark wants to save the only world he's ever known from his own flesh and blood, then he'll have to live up to his superhero name. Invincible is streaming on Prime Video. Alan Ritchson has played superheroes before, but he's never played a larger-than-life character like Jack Reacher until now. Reacher makes Ritchson seem like an uncommon man among men as he drifts from town to town and takes on the rich and powerful while combating injustice. The recently premiered third season puts Reacher in his toughest case to date as he goes undercover in a criminal organization to locate a missing DEA agent and to bring down a crime lord. And for the first time since the show began, Reacher has finally met an enemy who physically towers over him: Paul "Paulie" van Hove (Olivier Richters). Reacher is streaming on Prime Video. Moonlighting is celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2025, and it made Bruce Willis famous while giving Cybill Shepherd a Hollywood comeback. This quirky comedy/drama featured Shepherd as a former model, Madelyn "Maddie" Hayes, who reinvents herself as a private detective alongside David Addison (Willis).The dialogue in this series and the fantastic chemistry between Shepherd and Willis entertained a lot of fans in the '80s. Moonlighting took dramatic chances and big swings like few series do, and not all of them connected with its audience. But this series is more than just a footnote in history, it's also one of the all-time greats. Moonlighting is streaming on Prime Video. If you know anything about English history, then you're probably well aware that King Henry VIII didn't look anything like actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers. And you're probably not going to care about that level of historical fidelity when watching The Tudors. This series was a Showtime original, and it liberally blended historical fact and fiction as it chronicled Henry's tumultuous of Thrones' Natalie Dormer had one of her first big roles in this series as Anne Boleyn, one of Henry's many wives. Unfortunately for the ladies, Henry rarely let his wives off easily when he wanted out of their union. And their heads aren't the only ones that will roll in this entertaining series. The Tudors is streaming on Prime Video. There's something so inherently charming about Hugh Laurie that it's a pleasure watching him perform as Dr. Gregory House even when he's being a huge jerk to his patients, his colleagues and even to himself. House was a medical procedural like no other, and the title character was modeled after Sherlock Holmes. If you watch the show's entire eight-season run, you'll see a lot of parallels between House and the great detective. The secret to House's success is that Laurie was surrounded by a very talented supporting cast, including Lisa Edelstein, Omar Epps, Robert Sean Leonard, Jennifer Morrison, Jesse Spencer, Olivia Wilde, Kal Penn, and more. Their characters added more dimension to the show and helped flesh out House himself. House is streaming on Prime Video. The Expanse has been described as Game of Thrones in space, and that's not entirely inaccurate. Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck – who collectively write as James S. A. Corey – crafted a very believable future for humanity that's not some idealized Star Trek fantasy. Who needs aliens when humans are still itching for a war against each other? The people of Earth and Mars are at each other's throats, while the humans in the asteroid belt are considered second-class citizens by both Holden (Steven Strait), Naomi Nagata (Dominique Tipper), Amos Burton (Wes Chatham) and Alex Kamal (Cas Anvar) are the only survivors of a mining ship that stumbles across a deadly conspiracy to reshape worlds. In another part of the galaxy, Detective Joe Miller (Thomas Jane) is unknowingly tied to their fate as his missing person case takes on a significance that goes far beyond his wildest dreams. The Expanse is streaming on Prime Video. If you feel like the creative team behind The Boys hates superheroes, then you're probably right. This is perhaps the most cynical comic book adaptation ever, and it features 'heroes' like Homelander (Antony Starr) who openly have contempt for the people they're supposed to be protecting. Hugh Campbell (Novacaine's Jack Quaid) discovers this unfortunate truth when his girlfriend is accidentally killed by one of the world's fastest heroes, A-Train (Jessie T. Usher).That's where Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) comes in. No one despises 'supes' more than Butcher, and he's got a vendetta against Homelander for deeply personal reasons. Billy recruits Hugh to join his team, The Boys, to bring down all the heroes. But the odds are always stacked against them. The Boys is streaming on Prime Video. Comedy and mystery collide in Monk, an unforgettable series that was once one of the most popular shows on cable during its eight seasons on the USA Network. Tony Shalhoub brings a lot to his character, Adrian Monk, especially when Monk is so hilariously neurotic and ruled by his phobias. Despite his overpowering OCD, Monk is a world-class detective, but he needs someone to keep him on track. In the first few seasons, that person was his assistant, Sharona Fleming (Bitty Schram), while Traylor Howard's Natalie Teeger took on that function from season 3 onward. Almost every episode is neatly tied up, but the mystery of who killed Monk's wife is saved until the very end of the series. Monk is streaming on Prime Video.
