There has been a lot of buzz in recent years about the possibility of a sequel to the hit movie “The Devil Wears Prada.” Released in 2006, the original film was a star-studded affair that chronicled the life of a young journalist named Andy Sachs, played by Anne Hathaway, as she navigated her way through the cutthroat world of high fashion journalism under the guidance of her formidable boss, Miranda Priestly, played to perfection by Meryl Streep.
So, is there a “Devil Wears Prada 2” in the works? The short answer is no.
Despite rumors and speculation, there has been no official confirmation that a sequel is even being considered. However, that hasn’t stopped fans from hoping for more.
Many fans have been eagerly anticipating a sequel to “The Devil Wears Prada” for years. After all, the first film was a massive success both critically and commercially.
It grossed over $300 million worldwide and received numerous award nominations, including two Academy Awards. It’s not hard to see why fans would want more.
But why hasn’t there been a sequel yet? There are several factors at play.
First and foremost is the fact that author Lauren Weisberger has never written a follow-up novel to “The Devil Wears Prada.” The original film was based on her best-selling book of the same name. Without source material to draw from, it’s difficult to create a compelling storyline for a second film.
Another hurdle is finding time in everyone’s busy schedules. The original cast was made up of some of Hollywood’s biggest stars, including Streep and Hathaway as well as Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci. All four actors have gone on to have successful careers since the first film was released, which means coordinating their schedules for filming would be no easy feat.
Despite these obstacles, there have been hints over the years that a sequel may still be possible. In 2017, Weisberger released a sequel to her book called “When Life Gives You Lululemons.” While it doesn’t feature the same characters as “The Devil Wears Prada,” it does take place in the same world and has led some fans to speculate that it could be a stepping stone towards a second film.
Additionally, in a 2018 interview with Entertainment Tonight, Streep teased the possibility of a sequel. “I think we’ve probably all drunk the Kool-Aid and would love to do it,” she said. “If somebody has an idea of how to do it and make it good, I’m sure we’d all be game to talk about it.”
In conclusion, while there is no official confirmation of a “Devil Wears Prada 2,” there is still hope among fans that one day we may see Andy Sachs and Miranda Priestly back on the big screen. Until then, we’ll just have to keep re-watching the original film and imagining what could have been.
