We might not be going to Paris, but we are going back into the world of Miranda Priestly as a sequel to <\/span>The Devil Wears Prada<\/em><\/a> is reportedly in the works!<\/span><\/p>\n According to multiple reports, Disney is working on a follow-up to the mega-successful 2006 fashion dramedy starring <\/span>Anne Hathaway<\/a>, <\/span>Meryl Streep<\/a>, <\/span>Emily Blunt<\/a> and <\/span>Stanley Tucci<\/a>. <\/span>Puck<\/em><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/i>was first to share the <\/span>groundbreaking <\/span><\/em>news and report that both Streep and Blunt have signed on.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n 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, <\/span>Deadline <\/em><\/a>states that the original director,\u00a0David Frankel, is also in talks to return.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The movie is an adaptation of\u00a0Lauren Weisberger\u2019s 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\u00a0<\/span>Runway<\/span><\/i>\u00a0magazine — 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\u00a0Nigel Kipling, <\/span>Runway<\/span><\/em>‘s art director. Streep was nominated for an Oscar and a Golden Globe back in 2007 for the role.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Earlier this year, Hathaway actually commented on the possibility of a sequel mere weeks after <\/span>she reunited with Blunt and Streep at the SAG Awards<\/a> in a hilarious parody of their movie.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n “Probably not,” she told <\/span>V Magazine<\/em><\/a> about whether she could see a <\/span>Devil Wears Prada<\/span><\/em> sequel happening. “We all love each other and if somebody could come up with a way to do it, I think we’d all be crazy not to.”<\/span><\/p>\n Hathaway also previously spoke about the potential sequel during a 2022 appearance on <\/span>The View<\/span><\/em> when she shared skepticism at the thought of returning to the world of fashion journalism in the print form.<\/span><\/p>\n “I just think that movie was in a different era. Now everything’s gone so digital and that movie is centered around the concept of producing a physical thing and it\u2019s just, it\u2019s just very different,” the <\/span>Les Mis\u00e9rables<\/span><\/em> Academy Award winner stated, per <\/span>Deadline<\/em><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n In the nearly two decades since the film’s release, the project has become a cultural touchstone and has been memed, parodied and quoted more times than any one person can count. It’s also <\/span>heading to London’s West End in musical form<\/a> with <\/span>Vanessa Williams<\/a> — who rather ironically played demanding fashion magazine editor Wilhelmina Slater in <\/span>Ugly Betty<\/span><\/em> — as the titular devil in Prada.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In 2018, <\/span>ET spoke with Blunt<\/a> who expressed her willingness (and interest) in reprising her character for a potential sequel — whatever that may look like. Weisberger has penned not only a sequel to her hit novel, aptly titled <\/span>Revenge Wears Prada<\/span><\/em>, but a spinoff centered around Blunt’s character.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n “I’d be down,” the Oscar-nominated actress said at the time of entering the fashion world again. “I mean, if everyone wanted to do it, could be cool.”<\/span><\/p>\n
