The Devil Wears Prada is a 2006 hit film starring the one and only Meryl Streep as a harsh and terrifying editor in chief at a fashion magazine, and her two devoted assistants, Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt.
Based on Lauren Weisberger’s bestselling book of the same name, the book fictionalizes her experience as Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour’s assistant. The film follows Anne Hathaway’s character, Andy Sachs, and her entrance into the fashion-publishing world.
The Devil Wears Prada earned over $326 million worldwide, along with earning two Oscar nominations. The film also inspired a stage musical starring Vanessa Williams, currently running on the West End.
After so much success, it wouldn’t be surprising if the film earned itself a sequel. But will there be one? Here is everything we know about The Devil Wears Prada sequel.

Sequel in the Works
Though the studios have made no official announcements confirming a sequel to The Devil Wears Prada, Puck News has confirmed that Disney has been developing a sequel to the film. The original film’s screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna is in talks to return to write the sequel, which seems promising to fans of the film, hoping for a Devil Wears Prada sequel.
Plot
What will the sequel be about? Lovers of the film, including Anne Hathaway herself, have expressed concerns about the sequel as magazine publishing has been completely altered during the rise of the digital world since the release of the first movie.
However, instead of trying to go against this change, the film will follow Miranda Priestly, Meryl Streep’s character, as she deals with the changing and decline of traditional magazine publishing.
Returning Characters
Though fans love the high stakes pressure of the film, along with the lavishness of high-fashion, one of the reasons The Devil Wears Prada has had such a lasting impact is its iconic cast. Will the film be the same if the cast is not?
So far, Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci are all set to return. However, as nothing has been officially announced, this is subject to change.
