‘The Devil Wears Prada’ Sequel in the Works at Disney With Screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna in Talks to Return
variety.comAngelique Jackson Gird your loins. Miranda Priestly is set to deliver more withering glances in a sequel to “The Devil Wears Prada.” Disney is developing a sequel to the hit 2006 movie starring Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly, the high-powered fashion magazine editor from hell (or, more accurately, the editor-in-chief of Runway magazine) with Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt as her harried assistants Andrea Sachs and Emily Charlton.
The original film’s screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna (“Crazy Ex-Girlfriend,” “Your Place or Mine”) is in talks to return to pen the next chapter.
Who from the original cast will return is not clear, but the storyline reportedly follows Priestly as she navigates her career amid the decline of traditional magazine publishing and faces off against Blunt’s character, now a high-powered executive for a luxury group with advertising dollars that Priestly desperately needs.
Based on Lauren Weisberger’s dishy 2003 novel about a young woman’s nightmarish experience working at a fashion magazine (Weisberger worked as a personal assistant for American Vogue editor Anna Wintour), “The Devil Wears Prada” was a box office smash, earning $326.7 million worldwide and landing Streep a Golden Globe for best actress in a comedy, as well as an Academy Award nomination.
