The Devil Wears Prada sequel is 'in the works' at Disney
"That's all"
Despite hitting the big screen way back in 2006, The Devil Wears Prada has continued to be one of the most popular chick flicks on the planet, with most fans knowing the iconic lines word for word.
The movie, which starred the likes of Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Meryl Streep, never did get a sequel, mostly due to the appetite of the cast, but it's something fans have been crying out for over the last 18 years.
Is there going to be a sequel?
Well... It's 2024 and anything can happen, and it sounds like there's eventually going to be a sequel for The Devil Wears Prada, with it reportedly now in the works at Disney!
According to reports by Variety, Disney are in talks with original screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna to return, with Meryl Streep and Emily Blunt also rumoured to be returning for the sequel.
Although there's not too many details just yet, the reported plot seems to suggest the sequel will follow Meryl's character Miranda Priestley, as she attempts to navigate her career amid the decline of traditional magazine publishing. Variety is also reporting that Emily Blunt's character Emily Charlton is now a top executive for a luxury group, with Miranda set to compete with her for the company's advertising dollars.
At this moment in time, there's been no word on any other of the original characters, including Andrea Sachs (Anne Hathaway), and Nigel (Stanley Tucci).
When will it be released?
Despite the new reports, the sequel of The Devil Wears Prada hasn't actually been confirmed just yet, therefore there's no release date.
When did The Devil Wears Prada come out?
It was released in the UK on 5th October 2006.
The hit movie follows a sensible graduate called Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway) as she lands an assistant job for demanding editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep), at one of the world's biggest high fashion magazines.
The Devil Wears Prada amassed an incredible 326.7 million USD at the box office.
