The series, produced by Amazon MGM Studios in association with Hello Sunshine, is created by Laura Kittrell (High School, Insecure). Elle is co-showrun and executive produced by Kittrell and Caroline Dries.
Witherspoon, Lauren Neustadter, Amanda Brown and Marc Platt are executive producers. Jason Moore (Pitch Perfect) directed the first two episodes of season one and is also an executive producer. Bryan J Raber and Asmita Paranjape are producers. Josie Craven and Jen Regan are supervising producers.
