The Anticipation Builds for The Devil Wears Prada Sequel: What We Know So Far
It’s been years since “The Devil Wears Prada” sashayed onto the big screen, capturing audiences with its witty dialogue, memorable fashion, and the irresistibly ruthless portrayal of powerhouse editor Miranda Priestly by Meryl Streep. The film, which debuted in 2006, left a lasting impression on pop culture and the fashion industry. Now, over a decade later, there’s buzz in the cinematic world about a possible sequel that might return us to the high-stakes, high-fashion world of Runway magazine. This excitement stems from not only the enduring popularity of the original film but also from the 2018 novel “When Life Gives You Lululemons” by Lauren Weisberger, which focuses on Emily Charlton, erstwhile assistant to Miranda Priestly and loosely serves as a follow-up to her debut hit.
In Development or Just Rumors?
Despite avid fans’ hopes and industry speculation, as of my knowledge cutoff date in early 2023, there has not been an official announcement regarding a sequel to “The Devil Wears Prada.” After the release of Lauren Weisberger’s sequel novels “Revenge Wears Prada” and “When Life Gives You Lululemons,” rumors have periodically surfaced about turning these novels into movies. However, major players involved in the original film—like Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, and director David Frankel—have not reliably confirmed their participation in any sequel project.
Speculation often swirls around adaptations when source material exists. Since Weisberger penned continuations of her story world and given Hollywood’s penchant for sequels and reboots, the speculation feels understandable even without concrete evidence an adaptation is forthcoming. Both fans and industry experts keep a keen eye on production company announcements and talent interview remarks for any hidden indicators of development moving forward.
The Lasting Impact of The Original Film
The continual manifestation of sequel rumors and discussions can be partly attributed to how much of a cultural icon “The Devil Wears Prada” has become. The original film succeeded beyond the fashion-centric sensationalism; it probed into deeper themes such as work-life balance, personal integrity versus career aspirations, and the complexity of mentor-mentee relationships. All these topics have remained relevant allowing your hardcore fashionistas ongoing conversations long after initial release.
Furthermore, Streep’s performance as Miranda Priestly is often cited as one of her most memorable roles, with an influence felt across media whenever a stern, demanding boss is depicted. This influences everything from fan fiction to professional discussions around workplace dynamics and female leadership.
Cast Reactions and Possibilities
Despite having provided no formal commitment to reprising their roles, several cast members have openly reminisced about their experiences filming “The Devil Wears Prada” during interviews. Meryl Streep once remarked about how much fun she had playing Miranda Priestly but has also expressed that she felt one movie was enough for her character’s story.
Meanwhile, Anne Hathaway—who played Andrea Sachs—has shown enthusiasm at times about revisiting her role if it made sense for the character’s journey. Emily Blunt too expressed fond memories of playing Emily Charlton but epitomizes careful consideration when it comes to sequels—quality over quantity. These snippets from interviews offer hope but not confirmation.
Fanbase Engagement and Cultural Footprint
Fans have not been idle awaiting Hollywood decision-making. Enthusiasm for more content related to “The Devil Wears Prada” can be seen on social media, where fans often share favorite moments from the film or discuss how real-life fashion events remind them of scenes from the movie.
The movie’s quotes—particularly snappy remarks from Priestly—have their own life online as memes. Halloween costumes, GIFs, and cosplay pay vibrant homages leading many enthusiasts to leverage digital platforms to lobby for more storytelling featuring their beloved characters.
