The Devil Wears Prada Part Deux: All We Know

Meryl Streep’s frightful editor-in-chief in 2006’s The Devil Wears Prada dismisses her two loyal assistants, Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt, with a cold “That’s all.” However, Puck revealed earlier this week that a sequel is reportedly in the early stages of development at Disney, suggesting that there may be more Devil Wears Prada to come. Deadline was also informed of the story by sources; however, representatives at the studio remained silent on the matter.

All We Know Till Now About The Devil Wears Prada 2

The movie, which is based on Lauren Weisberger’s best-selling book, dramatizes Hathaway’s Andy Sachs’s introduction to the world of high-end publishing by depicting her time as top editor of Vogue Anna Wintour’s assistant. Though Andy gets seduced by Streep’s strong Miranda Priestly, he manages to break free from her before the end of the movie. But in two of Weisberger’s follow-up novels, the girl does run into her old boss.

In addition to earning two Oscar nominations upon its debut, the original movie brought in over $326 million worldwide and gave rise to a stage musical, which is presently playing on London’s West End and stars Vanessa Williams as Miranda Priestly. It is therefore not shocking that studios have looked for a sequel. Hathaway, however, played down the prospect of a follow-up in her most recent Vanity Fair cover story, mostly citing her preference for “her movies to be true escapes from everyday details like texting,” as Julie Miller put it. Hathaway told Miller, “I’m just realizing this as I talk to you.” “I haven’t told my staff to send me only films that came out before the personal computer revolution.”

Here’s all the information we currently know about the rumored The Devil Wears Prada sequel, including which actors may be stepping out of the huge Runway clothes wardrobe.

Is The Devil Wears Prada 2 Set To Release In Theatres?

The studio has not yet made any formal announcements. However, Puck claims that the focus of the sequel would be the difficulties facing print journalism in the twenty-first century, which is precisely the reason Hathaway has voiced concerns about the idea.

She discussed the concept of The View in 2022 as follows: Simply said, I believe the movie was set in a different age. Since everything is now digital, the idea of creating a physical object was central to that film. Hathaway acknowledged that it’s “tempting to think about Miranda being somewhere in Europe, and Andy and Emily [Blunt’s character] having to get her coffee, and then along the way they pick up Stanley Tucci in Italy.”

Who Is Cast In The Follow-Up To The Devil Wears Prada?

The production source for Entertainment Weekly claims that Streep, Hathaway, Blunt, and Tucci—who portrayed Runway’s incredibly devoted art director, Nigel—are in talks to return to their respective roles in the movie. (Adrien Grenier’s Nate and his incredibly valuable grilled cheese sandwiches remain unannounced.) The same is true for producer Wendy Finerman, author Aline Brosh McKenna, and original director David Frankel. The magazine contacted representatives of the aforementioned stars as well, but Disney declined to comment.

Hathaway isn’t the only cast member, though, who has already voiced reservations about going back to the Runway universe. Blunt shot down the notion of a Devil Wears Prada sequel on the Happy Sad Confused podcast in February, just before she reunited with Hathaway and Streep on the SAG Awards stage. revealing that there had “never” been any intentions to follow up. “There are times when it’s okay to cherish and preserve things in this bubble,” she continued.

What Is The Plot Of The Devil Wears Prada Sequel?

This is a general notion, as stated by Puck: The plot under discussion centers on Miranda Priestly, a character like Wintour played by Streep, who is nearing the end of her career and dealing with the demise of traditional magazine publishing. Priestly is forced to compete against Blunt’s Emily Charlton, her former assistant, who is now a powerful executive at a luxury business akin to Kering or LVMH and in desperate need of advertising funds.

What Is The Release Date Of The Devil Wears Prada Sequel?

Currently, obtaining any draft of the sequel’s screenplay would be more difficult than obtaining the unreleased Harry Potter text Miranda’s twins desire in the first movie. Viewers should really hope that the creative staff works at a glacial pace—they understand how exciting that is for us.
