Disney is working on a sequel to the hit 2006 comedy “The Devil Wears Prada,” with key cast members expected to return, including director David Frankel. The sequel is notably set against the backdrop of declining print advertising revenues, a reflection of the shifting media landscape.

The storyline reportedly follows Miranda Priestly, the formidable fashion magazine editor portrayed by Meryl Streep, as she navigates the challenging transition from print to digital media. Her new adversary is Emily Charlton, played by Emily Blunt, who has risen to a high-powered executive role in a luxury consortium, overseeing advertising contracts.

Author Lauren Weisberger, who wrote the original novel inspired by her experiences as an assistant to Vogue editor Anna Wintour, indirectly contributes to the film’s authenticity. The first film’s success—grossing $327 million from a $41 million budget and earning Streep a Golden Globe and an Oscar nomination—sets high expectations for the sequel.

Interestingly, Anne Hathaway’s character, Andy Sachs, is not mentioned in the sequel’s logline. However, the primary cast has frequently reunited, keeping the film and its themes in the public eye. Conversations about the original film have evolved over time, with many reassessing the romantic subplot and deeming Andy’s boyfriend, Nate, as the story’s true antagonist.

Emily Blunt, recently seen in “The Fall Guy” and “Oppenheimer,” and Anne Hathaway, revitalized by her role in “The Idea of You,” remain significant figures in Hollywood, ensuring continued interest in their dynamic. Meryl Streep, lauded for her part in “Only Murders in the Building,” adds further star power.

The sequel arrives alongside other adaptations, such as a musical version with an original score by Elton John, set to debut in London’s West End with Vanessa Williams as Priestly. This multilayered revival underscores the story’s enduring relevance in a time where the print media industry is continually transforming.
