Gird your loins, because this movie has some very large shoes to fill. A sequel to the 2006 hit film The Devil Wears Prada is officially in the works at Disney, according to multiple outlets . Meryl Streep will reportedly return as Runway editor Miranda Priestly, alongside Emily Blunt , who played her long-suffering assistant in the original film, according to Puck News .
E! News has reached out to their reps for comment but hasn't heard back. At this time, Anne Hathaway is not confirmed to reprise her role as Andy Sachs, although the film's original producer Wendy Finerman and screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna are both currently attached, per Variety . While a million girls would kill to see this movie, there is no release date as of yet.
However, plot details have already been revealed: The groundbreaking sequel is set to focus on Miranda, as she faces the decline of the once prosperous magazine publishing business. In fact, the only person who can bail her out is her former assistant, Blunt's Emily Charlton, who is now a high-powered executive at a luxury fashion group, according to Puck. And apparently Miranda needs the brand's big advertising dollars in order to prove that everyone still wants to be her.
And while fans will no doubt be thrilled about a sequel, Hathaway has spoken in the past about why she never felt the need to push for one. "I don't think a continuation of that story is probably ever gonna happen," she told E! News in March . But she's incredibly gratefu.
