Would you like to see a third series?

The president of HBO, Casey Bloys, previously opened up about a potential season three. Speaking to TV Line, he said: "I love this group of people — I would do anything with them. The reality is, they are some of the busiest actresses working in Hollywood. I just think it's not realistic." During the Graham Norton Show, Reese also opened up about enjoying Legally Blonde's 15th anniversary, explaining: "I kept the whole wardrobe including 77 pairs of Jimmy Choo shoes. I had it written in my contract! I didn’t touch them until the 15th anniversary and then had a lot of fun trying them on with my daughter."
