This is not a drill: a The Devil Wears Prada sequel is happening

Gird your loins! A sequel to the absolute classic The Devil Wears Prada is reportedly in development at Disney, and will follow the lives and careers of two of the movie’s most memorable characters.

Reports say that both Emily Blunt and Meryl Streep are involved – however neither the actors nor Disney have commented on or confirmed this. The Devil Wears Prada producer Wendy Finerman allegedly convinced the two stars to sign on to the sequel.

According to Variety, the movie 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”.

The original movie’s screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna is also reportedly in talks to write the sequel. We’ll be waiting for confirmation that Meryl and Emily are on board – just recently, Emily opened up to Anne Hathaway about the ways that The Devil Wears Prada changed her life.

“We just had a joy bomb of a time on that movie,” Blunt told Hathaway during a conversation for Variety’s Actors on Actors series. “I don’t know if any of us knew it was going to become what it did. It’s quoted to me every week. It will be the movie that changed my life.”

But one thing also needs to be addressed: Anne Hathaway‘s absence from the reports thus far. Seeing as she played Andy, the protagonist of the original film, surely a sequel can’t happen without her?

When Anne’s been asked about it in the past, she’s admittedly not been positive – she told Entertainment Tonight last year: “there’s not going to be a sequel. It’s not gonna happen. We can’t do it.”
