The studio shared the update on its official Twitter handle on Tuesday.
“Elle Woods is back! ‘Legally Blonde 3’ coming May 2022. We rest our case,” the tweet read.

The threequel, which was greenlit in 2018, will be penned by actor-writer Mindy Kaling and Brooklyn Nine-Nine co-creator Dan Goor.

The first Legally Blonde movie, which released in 2001, revolved around Elle, a lively sorority sister trying to win back her ex-boyfriend by getting a law degree from Harvard University.
The sequel, Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde, set in Washington, DC, came out in 2013.
