Meryl Streep in The Devil Wears Prada Barry Wetcher/20th Century Fox/Kobal/Shutterstock The moment film fans have been waiting almost 20 years for looks like it might finally be here. On Monday, Puck was the first to report that a sequel to The Devil Wears Prada could be in the works at Disney , with screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna apparently working on a follow-up to the much-loved original movie. While the first film centred on Anne Hathaway ’s character as she rose the ranks at the fictitious Runway magazine, the online outlet has claimed that the sequel will focus primarily on Meryl Streep and Emily Blunt ’s roles, with both actors reportedly set to return for part two.
