Mindy Kaling has signed up to pen the third outing of the popular Legally Blonde franchise alongside writer and producer Dan Goor.
In June 2018, it was confirmed that the planned threequel was set to be written by the original film's scribes Kirsten Smith and Karen McCullah.
However, according to Deadline, the new script will have an "entirely new fresh spin" on previous workings and will be co-written by Dan Goor, who is known for writing The Daily Show and Late Night With Conan O'Brien, alongside Kaling.
This isn't the first time Kaling and Goor have teamed-up up as they are currently working on on an upcoming wedding comedy for Universal.
Witherspoon will reprise her role as Elle Woods, a style-conscious, big-hearted and astute lawyer who is underestimated by her peers, whom she played in both the 2001 originally and its 2003 sequel Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde. She will produce the movie through her Hello Sunshine studio alongside original producer Marc Platt.
