The first season of Elle just arrived on Prime Video on July 1, and fans are already talking about that ending. The show, which tells the story of a young Elle Woods before she became the famous lawyer we know from Legally Blonde, finished its first eight episodes with a moment that left everyone with questions. But showrunner Laura Kittrell has good news for viewers who are wondering what happens next. She confirmed that Season 2 will begin right where the finale stopped. This means fans will not have to imagine what comes after that dramatic final scene because the next season is set to show it all.
What Happened in the Elle Season 1 Finale?
The finale of Elle Season 1 had a lot going on. Elle Woods, played by Lexi Minetree, had to make some big choices. She briefly went to Los Angeles for an internship opportunity that seemed like a dream. But she decided that her real place was back in Seattle with her new friends and the life she was building there. She returned in time for her school’s winter formal dance.
At the dance, Elle met Dustin, played by Zac Looker. They had some tension between them throughout the season, and in the finale, they finally talked about it. Elle told Dustin she felt ignored by him, and he explained that he was hurt by some of her actions. They shared a kiss. The problem was that Miles, played by Jacob Moskovitz, saw the whole thing. Miles is the other guy in Elle’s life, and the season ended with him standing there, watching them together. This created a love triangle cliffhanger that is now the main talking point of the show.
Creators Promise Fans Will Not Have to Wait Long
Laura Kittrell, who created the series, spoke about the ending and what comes next. She wanted to put fans at ease about the big questions the finale raised. She said that the story will keep moving without any big time jumps.
We pick up in Season 2 right after Season 1 ends. So the cliffhangers that we’ve left you with in Season 1, you will not have to wait long to see how those are going to be resolved.
This news is a big deal for fans who were worried they would have to wait for months or years to find out what happens between Elle, Dustin, and Miles. Since the show is already renewed and has even finished filming Season 2, the creators can promise a smooth continuation of the story.
Season 2 Is Already Filmed and Has a New Cast Member
The good news about the story continuing right away is possible because the show was renewed very early. Prime Video gave the green light for Elle Season 2 back in January 2026, even before the first episode of Season 1 aired. That faith in the show allowed the team to start working on the next chapter quickly.
Filming for Season 2 has already finished. In June 2026, people spotted Lexi Minetree and June Diane Raphael filming new scenes in New York City. Jacob Moskovitz, who plays Miles, also confirmed that shooting is complete. This means the show is already in post-production, getting ready for its eventual release.
There is also a new face joining the cast for Season 2. Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, known for her lead role in Never Have I Ever, will play a new character named Sam. Sam is described as Elle’s opposite. She is the editor of the school newspaper and cares a lot about rules and grammar. While Elle loves fashion magazines like Cosmo, Sam’s guide is the AP Stylebook. The creators describe her as someone with all of Elle’s ambition but none of her optimism, making her a perfect rival for the pink-loving heroine. Other expected returning cast members include June Diane Raphael, Tom Everett Scott, Chandler Kinney, and Gabrielle Policano.

What to Expect From the New Season
Since Season 2 starts right after the finale, the first thing it will probably deal with is the love triangle. Viewers want to know how Miles reacts to seeing Elle and Dustin kiss. They also want to see how Elle handles her feelings for both boys. The show will also likely explore other relationships.
The finale hinted that Elle’s parents, Eva and Wyatt, played by June Diane Raphael and Tom Everett Scott, also have some things to work through. Eva told Wyatt she felt like her life was dictated by his career, and they will have to figure out their future together. The show will also continue to focus on Elle’s friendships, including the relationship between Liz and Kimberly. The show has already been praised for its fashion, especially the pink outfits, and its focus on friendship, which will continue in Season 2.
