‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ Set to Begin Filming This November with Original Cast Returning

Well, it’s about time for The Devil Wears Prada fans, as shooting of the long-awaited sequel is presumed to start November 30th, according to the Production List. The film’s original powerhouse cast is attached, with Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci reportedly all returning to their famed roles.

The follow-up will pick up years after the original chronicled the wild world of fashion magazine editor Miranda Priestly, played by Streep, and her harried assistant Andy Sachs, played by Hathaway. The Devil Wears Prada 2 focuses on Miranda Priestly’s fight against the very realistic end of her career signaled by the decline of the conventional print medium. With the fashion magazine industry squeezed by digital platforms and changing consumer habits, Miranda’s regime as a feared and revered editor-in-chief might be in jeopardy. For the fans, this premise promises an insightful new look at Miranda’s character since the once-untouchable fashion titan is made to wake up to some real changes in her industry. Meanwhile, Andy Sachs still tries to juggle work and her personal life, while Emily Charlton returns with Blunt and Nigel Kipling with Tucci to offer their unique takes on the changes happening in the fashion world.

No word has been released just yet on the expected date of release, but anticipation is already building with production set to begin next month. Many will be anxious to see if this sequel can concoct up any of the magic of the original, which became an overnight cultural phenomenon upon its 2006 release.

With this sequel promising to revisit the drama, fashion, and caustic wit of The Devil Wears Prada, the fans of the first film will definitely be following closely.
