After numerous years of hypothesis, conflicting interviews from its stars, and a pleasant onstage reunion ultimately yr’s SAG Awards, these of us who nonetheless worship on the toes of the cult traditional that’s The Satan Wears Prada lastly have the information we’ve been ready for: ultimately, nearly twenty years later, a sequel is now in manufacturing and—watch for it—Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci are all formally returning for it.
In case you’re getting whiplash, you’re not the one one. Again in October 2022, throughout a crimson carpet interview, Anne Hathaway advised Leisure Tonight categorically that “there’s not going to be a sequel. It’s not gonna occur. We will’t do it.” Then, in April 2024, when requested about the potential of a sequel by V Journal, she reiterated that it was “in all probability 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 solution 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 expertise, and one of many issues about that specific story is it was about producing a bodily object. Now with a lot being digital, it will simply be very totally different. Possibly me, Stanley, Emily, Meryl, Patricia Subject…we must always simply all do one thing else collectively. That’d be enjoyable.”
However now, it seems like that specific gang—or a minimum of most of them—will in reality 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. The storyline will reportedly 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, through which 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.
