When The Devil Wears Prada was released in 2006, fans couldn’t get enough of the film that delved into the drama, ruthlessness and dry comedy of the magazine fashion world.

And now, 18 years later, and with a musical version due to open in the West End in the autumn (starring Ugly Betty’s Vanessa Williams as Miranda Priestly – love a glossy mag crossover!), a sequel is finally in the works. Although the script is in its early stages, the anticipation has already started to ramp up: the film’s three stars reunited for a skit at the SAG Awards in February. 

With the original grossing over $326 million worldwide and cementing itself as a fan favourite, the sequel will certainly be a tough act to follow, but one that we’re already excited for. Here’s everything you need to know about The Devil Wears Prada sequel so far.

As of yet, no plot details have been revealed. What we do know is that Aline Brosh McKenna, who wrote the original film, has been lined up to work on the sequel for Disney (via Deadline). 

As the script is in early development, there’s no way of knowing how the story will unfold yet, but we’d hope to get a look at what’s next for Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep) as the editor-in-chief of her fashion magazine, Runway, and Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway) who began her journalism career as a junior assistant to Priestly.

Again, as the script is in early development, we don’t yet know who will star. However, we’re hoping to see Streep and Hathaway back in character as Priestly and Sachs and would love to see the rest of the original star-studded cast – including Emily Blunt, Stanley Tucci, Simon Baker and Adrien Grenier – return, too.

As of yet, the film hasn’t even started filming, so it’s safe to say the release date will be a way off. However, in the meantime, we’ll certainly be re-watching the original.
