The long-awaited third instalment of Legally Blonde is all set to arrive in May 2022. MGM Studios announced the news on Twitter with a gif of Reese Witherspoon as Elle Woods.

Earlier reports suggested that Reese Witherspoon would return for Legally Blonde 3, but plot details were slim. It was also reported that the original Legally Blonde writers Kirsten “Kiwi” Smith and Karen McCullah were set to return. The film was initially said to be a 2020 release.

However, there were few developments beyond that. The film got a major boost this year when Mindy Kaling and Dan Goor were brought in to write the script.

Notably, it's been 20 years since the release of Legally Blonde.
