A sequel to the 2006 film 'The Devil Wears Prada' is in development, reuniting Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly and Anne Hathaway as Andy Sachs. The story, set two decades later, finds Andy returning to Runway magazine as its features editor to help navigate a public relations crisis. The film brings back key original cast members and introduces new characters to the fashion world.

Facts First

  • Meryl Streep reprises her role as Miranda Priestly, with Anne Hathaway returning as Andy Sachs.
  • The sequel is set two decades after the original, with Andy now an investigative journalist for the New York Vanguard (NYV).
  • Andy is hired as Runway's features editor to help the magazine manage a PR crisis involving an accidental endorsement of a sweatshop label.
  • Original cast members Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci return, playing Emily and Nigel, respectively.
  • New characters include a tech entrepreneur, an elusive tycoon, and Andy's romantic interest, played by B.J. Novak, Lucy Liu, and Patrick Brammall.

What Happened

The sequel to 'The Devil Wears Prada' is in development, directed by David Frankel and written by Aline Brosh McKenna. The story is set two decades after the original 2006 film. In the sequel, Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway) is an investigative journalist for the fictitious left-leaning publication the New York Vanguard (NYV). After Andy and her NYV colleagues are fired via text message, she is hired as the features editor for Runway magazine. Runway is facing a public relations crisis after accidentally endorsing a sweatshop fast-fashion label. The film's third act is set in Milan.

Why this Matters to You

If you enjoyed the original film, you may be interested in revisiting its characters and the world of high fashion. The return of the original creative team could suggest a continuation of the film's tone and style. The sequel's plot involving a sweatshop scandal might touch on broader themes of ethics in the fashion industry that are relevant to consumers.

What's Next

The film is in production, with key crew members like costume designer Molly Rogers and Director of Photography (DP) Florian Ballhaus confirmed. The project appears to be moving forward with a complete cast and creative team assembled.

Perspectives

“
Film Critics argue that while the sequel is a competent production by "practiced professionals doing their job, and doing it well," it remains a "lesser movie" that is "narratively, emotionally, and cinematically flatter than the original."
“
Cultural Analysts observe that the film engages with modern anxieties, noting that Andy's role as a journalist is a "sigh of recognition" for the industry and that the threat to Miranda comes from a "terminally unchic tech bro."
“
Performance Evaluators maintain that Meryl Streep retains her "effortless MVP status" through her "hushed, lacerating economy of line readings," even if other performances "steadfastly fail to surprise."
“
Aesthetic Observers note a shift in visual style, mourning the loss of the original's "baroque absurdist touch" and observing that the new cinematography carries a "grayish veil" reflecting modern studio lighting standards.
“
Narrative Analysts criticize the sequel's writing, claiming the plot points are "mere placeholder plot points" and that the romantic subplot is a "frictionless nonstarter."
