Story Details for The Devil Wears Prada 2

Miranda’s Desperate Bid to Rescue Her Magazine

The narrative unfolds in a markedly different environment compared to the original film. Following a successful career trajectory, Miranda now faces the daunting challenge of revitalizing her magazine amidst the decreasing relevance of print media. With Emily now a seasoned advertising executive, it will be up to her to provide the expertise Miranda so desperately needs.

This fresh storyline promises a blend of humor and poignancy as it explores Miranda’s adaptation to the modern world while grappling with her former dominance and potential vulnerability. Even if Anne Hathaway’s character is absent, the evolution of Miranda’s character could provide a fertile ground for storytelling.

Interestingly, there have been no indications that the sequel will closely follow Weisberger’s additional publications, such as Revenge Wears Prada or When Life Gives You LuLuLemons. While these books focus more on Andy and Emily, they present intriguing narratives should the filmmakers choose to incorporate elements from them into the sequel.

Ultimately, The Devil Wears Prada 2 is set to enthrall audiences again, delving into the transformation of its characters and the challenges they face in an evolving fashion landscape.
