Los Angeles, CA – A highly anticipated sequel to the beloved film “The Devil Wears Prada” is in the works, stirring excitement among fans as reports indicate Meryl Streep and Emily Blunt will reprise their iconic roles. The film, reported by “Puck,” is said to follow Streep’s character, Miranda Priestly, navigating the challenges of a changing media landscape as she faces the decline of traditional magazine publishing.
Blunt’s character, Emily Charlton, has apparently moved up the ranks to an executive role in a luxury group, tasked with helping save Priestly’s struggling magazine. Although the return of Streep and Blunt is confirmed, the involvement of Anne Hathaway, who played Andrea Sachs in the original film, remains uncertain as she expressed doubts about a potential sequel.
Scriptwriter Aline Brosh McKenna, director David Frankel, and producer Wendy Finerman are reportedly in discussions to join the project, adding to the anticipation surrounding the sequel. The original film, based on Lauren Weisberger’s novel, was a box office success and garnered critical acclaim for Streep’s portrayal of the formidable Priestly.
In a recent interview, Hathaway hinted at the unlikelihood of a sequel, casting doubt on her return to the franchise. Despite Hathaway’s reservations, fans of the original film are eagerly awaiting updates on the sequel’s development and casting decisions.
The cast’s reunion at the SAG Awards, where Streep, Hathaway, and Blunt shared a memorable moment on stage, reignited interest in the possibility of a sequel. As discussions progress and details emerge about the film’s storyline, fans of “The Devil Wears Prada” are eagerly anticipating the next chapter in the beloved story.
