Mindy Kaling Signs On to Co-Write 'Legally Blonde 3'

We’re one step closer to Legally Blonde 3 becoming a reality and someone very exciting has joined the creative team – Mindy Kaling!

It was just announced that Mindy and Brooklyn Nine-Nine co-creator Dan Goor have signed on to write the upcoming movie, according to Deadline.

It was first revealed two years ago that a third Legally Blonde movie was in the works and two other writers had written a script. Instead of Kaling and Goor giving that script a revamp, they are going to write an entirely new one.

Mindy is a longtime friend of Reese Witherspoon‘s after they starred in the movie A Wrinkle In Time together.

Reese will be reprising her role as Elle Woods and she’s also producing the movie alongside the original film’s producer Marc Platt (aka Ben Platt‘s dad!).

This is an exciting time for Mindy, professionally, as she created a television series that went number one on Netflix this month.
