Fans Can’t Believe Tom Everett Scott Joins ‘Legally Blonde’ Prequel Cast as Elle’s Dad

Hold onto your pink notebooks, because the world of “Legally Blonde” is about to get a fascinating twist! In a delightful turn of events, Tom Everett Scott has been cast as Elle Woods’ father, Wyatt, in the upcoming prequel series titled simply “Elle.” This series, crafted by the brilliant Laura Kittrell and executive produced by none other than Reese Witherspoon herself, takes us back to the golden days of high school, where we’ll uncover the formative experiences that turned a bubbly blonde into an indomitable legal force. Scott, who has graced our screens in hits like “That Thing You Do” and “The Summer I Turned Pretty,” will star alongside Lexi Minetree as Elle and June Diane Raphael as his wife, Eva.

Now, let’s rewind to the original film, where Wyatt was played by James Read, who, alongside a well-meaning but misguided wife, tried to steer Elle away from Harvard. Spoiler alert: it didn’t work, and thank goodness for that! It seems like the prequel will delve into the family dynamics that might have inspired Elle’s iconic resilience and ambition, giving us more than just a pretty face in pink.

With Jason Moore helming the first two episodes—yes, the genius behind “Pitch Perfect”—and a production team that boasts heavyweights from the “Hello Sunshine” empire, we can expect a concoction of sass, charm, and perhaps a sprinkle of nostalgia. As the series gears up for its release, fans old and new are buzzing with excitement about what this fresh take on a beloved franchise will bring.

So, prepare for a lot of pink-tinted flashbacks and perhaps a few lessons in tenacity. If only we could all channel our inner Elle Woods to navigate life’s challenges with such style and flair, right?
