Is It Officially Happening?!

There has been no official announcement from the studio yet. But according to Puck, the sequel would center on the challenges faced by print media in the 21st century. However, the sequel will not star Anne Hathaway. The plot is one of the very reasons Hathaway has expressed reservations about the project.

“I just think that movie was in a different era. Everything has gone so digital, and that movie centered around the concept of producing a physical thing,” said the actress. Even so, Hathaway agreed that it’s “tempting to think about Andy and Emily needing to get Miranda her coffee, and she’s somewhere in Europe, and then along the way they pick up Stanley Tucci in Italy.”

The Cast

According to Entertainment Weekly, the star-studded cast including Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci are all in talks to return for the sequel. Director David Frankel, who directed the original film, is also set to direct the sequel. This marks a highly anticipated reunion for fans of the 2006 hit film.

What Will The Plot Be?

According to Puck, the storyline being discussed focuses on Miranda Priestly, Streep’s Wintour-esque protagonist, at the end of her career, facing the decline of traditional magazine publishing. “She’s forced to go head-to-head with her former assistant, Blunt’s Emily Charlton, now a high-powered executive at a Kering or LVMH-style luxury group, whose advertising dollars Priestly desperately needs.”

Simply put, the storyline focuses on Miranda Priestly nearing the end of her career amid the decline of traditional magazine publishing. She might compete with her former assistant, Emily Charlton, a high-powered executive at a luxury group similar to LVMH.
