It’s time to bend, snap, and smile people! Because Legally Blonde 3 is officially in the works.
And Dr. Lahiri aka Mindy Kaling is working on the script, along with Dan Goor.
So excited to be reunited with my friends @ReeseW, Lauren Neustadter and @djgoor to work on this movie. Elle Woods is so iconic, proving you can be girly and smart at the same time. Bend and snap people! https://t.co/zOC3WCckjN via @Deadline

Kaling, who shot to widespread fame with The Mindy Project, has also written episodes for The Office and co-written the screenplay for the recently released teen comedy, Never Have I Ever.
Naturally, Twitterati was more than happy with this announcement:
Honestly @mindykaling writing Legally Blonde 3 is a DREAM come true. It’s two of my favorite leading ladies coming together (again) and it’s going to be goddamn glorious. Where’s that production email so I can send my resume and pictures of baby animals every day for 6 months?

The first Legally Blonde taught us about the judicial branch. And the second Legally Blonde taught us about the legislative branch. So if Legally Blonde 3 doesn’t give us president Elle Woods, then don’t bother realeasing it.
