The most anticipated fashion film reunion in Hollywood history is finally happening. Disney has officially confirmed that a sequel to the beloved 2006 classic, The Devil Wears Prada, is in active development, sending fans into a frenzy.
In a major coup for cinema, the iconic original trio—Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt—are all in talks to reprise their legendary roles. This confirmation comes straight from the top, with a Disney insider revealing the project is a key priority for the studio.
The Creative Force Behind the Comeback
Crucially, the film's original screenwriter, Aline Brosh McKenna, is back on board to craft the screenplay. Her involvement is seen as essential to capturing the sharp, witty tone that made the first film a cultural touchstone. The search for a director to helm the project is now underway.
The news broke after Entertainment Weekly's podcast, The Awardist, featured an interview with producer Wendy Finerman, who first sparked the sequel rumours. Her comments were quickly followed by a flood of enthusiastic social media reactions from the cast themselves, all but confirming their participation.
Where Are Runway Magazine's Staff Now?
The sequel is expected to explore what became of Andy Sachs (Hathaway) after she famously threw her mobile phone into a Paris fountain, walking away from the toxic yet glamorous world of Runway Magazine.
Will she have become a successful, hardened journalist? And what of Emily Charlton's (Blunt) journey from a stressed first assistant to a powerful figure in the LA fashion scene? The biggest question on everyone's lips, however, is the fate of the formidable and fearsome Miranda Priestly, played to perfection by the legendary Meryl Streep.
Fans are already speculating wildly about how the dynamics of the pre-digital era fashion world will translate to today's landscape of influencers, social media, and rapidly changing trends.
With the core team reassembling and the full force of Disney behind it, the sequel to The Devil Wears Prada is poised to be one of the biggest cinematic events of the coming years. That's all.
