We might not be going to Paris, but we are going back into the world of Miranda Priestly as a sequel to The Devil Wears Prada is reportedly in the works! According to multiple reports, Disney is working on a follow-up to the mega-successful 2006 fashion dramedy starring Anne Hathaway , Meryl Streep , Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci . Puck was first to share the groundbreaking news and report that both Streep and Blunt have signed on. On Monday, the outlet reported that film producer Wendy Finerman is hard at work recruiting the original film's scribe, Aline Brosh McKenna, to pen the script, which will purportedly follow Streep's character near the end of her career and looking to Blunt's character for assistance in the dying magazine business.
Furthermore, Deadline states that the original director, David Frankel, is also in talks to return. The movie is an adaptation of Lauren Weisberger’s 2003 eponymous novel, which follows journalist Andy Sachs (Hathaway) as she struggles to keep up as the junior assistant to Miranda Priestly (Streep), the editor-in-chief of Runway magazine -- an Anna Wintour type, if you will. Blunt stars as Emily Charlton, Priestly's senior assistant, who is constantly in competition to get a leg up on others at the magazine, while Tucci plays Nigel Kipling, Runway 's art director.
Streep was nominated for an Oscar and a Golden Globe back in 2007 for the role. Earlier this year, Hathaway actually commented on the possibility of a sequel mere weeks after .
