For Elle Woods to survive her coming years at Harvard, she had to go through some troubling times in high school on Elle. Unfortunately for her, it’ll take more than personality to survive.

Prime Video released the Elle Season 1 trailer. The eight-episode season premieres on Wednesday, July 1.

Recently, the Legally Blonde prequel series was also renewed for a second season. However, to see where Elle Woods will go next, fans must look back on the events that brought Los Angeles’ sweetheart to this position.

The Elle trailer sees young Elle and her family moving to Seattle after celebrating her birthday, much to Elle’s shock. The move from Los Angeles leaves her further surprised during her first days at a new high school, where she gets bullied.

Although she tries to make new friends and connect with others, Elle seemingly can’t. Fortunately, with some advice from her West Coast friends, Elle tries to do what she can to fit in, despite what her classmates think.

What ensues is some messier situations for Elle, like trying to figure out what’s happening with the school’s staff, being in a mosh pit, and much more. Everything seems to unravel around her, but she’s got her mother to help her out.

Despite all the trouble that Elle has to go through at school, Elle Season 1 offers a deeper look at the relationship between her and her mother, Eva.
