Lexi Minetree on ‘Elle’ Season 2, Wanting an 'Off Campus' Crossover and More | The Global Edit

Elle Woods is back, and Lexi Minetree is the new face carrying the crown in Prime Video's "Legally Blonde" prequel series, “Elle”! In this candid interview for Variety India’s The Global Edit, she opens up about the most nerve-wracking scene of Season 1, what's coming in Season 2, and the on-set friendships fans are going to love. Stepping into a role originally made iconic by Reese Witherspoon is no small task. Lexi Minetree gets real about the pressure of recreating Elle Woods' legendary high-pitched, whistle-tone cry in Episode 1—a moment she says made her more nervous than almost anything else she filmed. She also breaks down Elle's newly discovered Gemini-Cancer cusp identity, why she believes she could play this character for "20 seasons" and still be learning something new, and what a dream YA crossover with “Off Campus” or “Every Year After” could look like. Bonus: A lighthearted attempt to name a new shade of fuchsia inspired by Bruiser Woods, Elle’s adorable pet dog, a heartfelt shoutout to her favorite on-screen relationship (which she compares to Elle and Paulette's iconic bond from the original “Legally Blonde”) and a one-word verdict on what to expect from Season 2. Whether you grew up loving the original “Legally Blonde” film, you're already hooked on Prime Video's “Elle” or you're discovering Elle Woods for the first time, this interview is packed with behind-the-scenes insight straight from the actress herself.
