Reese Witherspoon to return as Tracy Flick in Election sequel

The Oscar-winner will reunite with Alexander Payne for a Paramount+ adaptation of Tom Perrotta's Tracy Flick Can't Win

Reese Witherspoon is set to reunite with director Alexander Payne for an Election sequel.

The film will be an adaptation of Tom Perrotta's Tracy Flick Can't Win, his 2022 novel that follows the character of Tracy Flick as she battles to become the principal of a suburban high school. She hasn't fulfilled her dreams of a political career," Perrotta said of Tracy in the book. And she's looking back and starting to realize that she wasn't as extraordinary an individual as she believed. That she was a kind of representative woman rather than a unique superhero."
