Anticipation over the franchise’s return was heightened following reports of the original film’s screenwriter- Aline Brosh McKenna, who was also linked to the reunion.

While several noted returnees have been linked to the project, the film’s original Co-lead Ann Hathaway, who played “Andy,” a journalist who takes the job of assistant to Miranda Priestley, remains uncertain.

Based on Lauren Weisberger’s 2003 novel about a young woman’s hellish experience working at a fashion magazine, “The Devil Wears Prada” became a box office hit and cult classic, landing Streep a Golden Globe for Best Actress In a Comedy, as well as an Academy Award nomination.
