Disney preparing the sequel to ‘The Devil Wears Prada’
Nearly two decades since The Devil Wears Prada hit the big screen, The Devil Wears Prada writer Aline Brosh McKenna is reportedly working on the sequel to the 2006 blockbuster.
Fans have been demanding a sequel to David Frankel’s hit 2006 workplace drama The Devil Wears Prada, especially after that cast reunion at the Screen Actors Guild Awards and that actor-on-actor talk between Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt.
Wendy Finerman, producer of the original film, will develop and produce the sequel. Deadline reports that original director David Frankel is in talks about a return.
What will be the plot of The Devil Wears Prada 2?
According to the report, The story would reportedly follow Miranda, editor of the major fashion magazine Runaway, struggling with the decline of the traditional print business. She then takes on the character of Emily Blunt’s former assistant, Emily Charlton, who is now a senior executive at a luxury group. Miranda needs advertising revenue, but will Emily help her after the terrible time she had working with her?
Following the previous plot, Meryl and Emily will likely return in the sequel to reprise their roles. However, it is unknown if Anne Hathaway will also join them as Andrea Sachs, another former Miranda assistant who walked away from her at the end of the first film.
