In 2018 Reese confirmed that a sequel is in the works with the plot likely to focus on female empowerment.

The original film released in 2001 was based on the novel by Amanda Brown and was a box office hit. Nineteen years later the film is considered a cult classic.

A sequel Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonder was released in 2003 and a spin-off in 2009 Legally Blondes that went straight to DVD.
