The Devil Wears Prada sequel ‘in development’

The original screenwriter, director and producer are all in talks to return but it is unclear how many of the key cast members may appear. Anne Hathaway previously dismissed the idea of a sequel in an interview earlier this year.

A sequel to The Devil Wears Prada, the hit 2006 film featuring Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway, is reportedly in development.

One of the original screenwriters Aline Brosh McKenna is in talks to write the follow-up, which reportedly follows Streep’s character, magazine editor Miranda Priestly, as she confronts the decline of print publications in the digital age, Variety reported.

It is unclear how many of the original cast members may return for the sequel, which US news outlet Deadline reported will be made by Disney.

However, the film’s original director David Frankel and producer Wendy Finerman are in talks to return, Deadline added.

Hathaway, who played the role of one of Priestly’s assistants, told E! News in March she was sceptical “a continuation of that story” was “ever gonna happen”.

Emily Blunt starred as Priestly’s other assistant in the film, which was based in the New York office of a fictional high-end fashion magazine.

Stanley Tucci also featured as Priestly’s long-suffering deputy.
