Nearly two decades after its initial release, the iconic film ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ is set to make a grand return. The sequel, currently in development at Disney, is stirring up excitement among fans and critics alike.

 

The original film, released in 2006, was a cinematic sensation, captivating audiences with its behind-the-scenes look at the high-stakes world of fashion. The story followed the journey of Andy (played by Anne Hathaway), a recent journalism graduate who lands a coveted role as the assistant to the formidable Miranda Priestly (portrayed by Meryl Streep).

 

The sequel promises to delve deeper into the world of fashion and publishing, with the original writer, Aline Brosh McKenna, reportedly returning to pen the script. This news has sparked speculation about the potential return of the original cast, including Meryl Streep and Emily Blunt.

 

The 2006 film was a box office hit, earning nearly $326 million worldwide. Its portrayal of the fashion industry was so impactful that many insiders were initially hesitant to participate, fearing how their world would be depicted. Despite this, the film’s influence has been enduring, with its memorable quotes and scenes still referenced in popular culture today.

 

 

Will the sequel be able to capture the same magic as the original? And how will it reflect the changes in the fashion and publishing industries over the past 18 years?
