After years of hypothesis, conflicting interviews from its stars, and a pleasant onstage reunion finally 12 months’s SAG Awards, these of us who nonetheless worship on the toes of the cult basic that’s The Satan Wears Prada lastly have the information we’ve been ready for: virtually 20 years later, a sequel is now in manufacturing and—anticipate it—Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci are all formally returning for it.
For those who’re getting whiplash, you’re not the one one. Again in October 2022, throughout a crimson carpet interview, Anne Hathaway instructed Leisure Tonight categorically that “there’s not going to be a sequel. It’s not gonna occur. We are able to’t do it.” Then, in April 2024, when requested about the potential for a sequel by V Journal, she reiterated that it was “most likely not” going to occur, although she was notably much less definitive in shutting down the rumors. “All of us love one another and if any individual might provide you with a option to do it, I feel we’d all be loopy to not,” she stated. “However there’s an enormous distinction on this planet now with know-how, and one of many issues about that individual story is it was about producing a bodily object. Now with a lot being digital, it could simply be very totally different. Possibly me, Stanley, Emily, Meryl, Patricia Subject…we should always simply all do one thing else collectively. That’d be enjoyable.”
However now, it seems to be like that individual gang—or not less than most of them—will in actual fact be reuniting, joined by the unique movie’s screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna, who’s penning the subsequent chapter, in addition to its director, David Frankel, and producer Wendy Finerman. Tracie Thoms, who performed Andrea’s pal Lily within the first film, and Tibor Feldman, who performed Irv Ravitz, chairman of Elias-Clark, Runway’s guardian firm, may also reportedly reprise their roles.
The storyline will observe “Miranda Priestly as she navigates her profession amid the decline of conventional journal publishing and faces off towards Blunt’s character, Emily Charlton, now a high-powered govt for a luxurious group with promoting {dollars} that Priestly desperately wants.”
And that’s not all: as presaged within the unique The Satan Wears Prada, wherein Miranda was gearing up for one more divorce, there’s a new “Mr. Priestly” on the scene: none aside from Kenneth Branagh, who’s coming onboard as her husband.
