When Will The Devil Wears Prada Sequel Release?

The release date of The Devil Wears Prada, has not been confirmed yet. We will keep you posted about the same. As of now, we are sure, the makers must be busy with getting the cast together.

The movie which debuted by 20th Century Fox prior to Disney acquiring the film company, is based on the same-titled novel by Lauren Weisberger, which was published in 2003.

The narrative centres on Andy Sachs (Hathaway), a fresh graduate of journalism school who relocates to New York City and is hired as Miranda Priestly’s (Streep) junior assistant. Priestly is the strong and demanding editor-in-chief of a high-fashion magazine.

Although Miranda’s constant demands and the high-pressure atmosphere initially cause Andy difficulty, he eventually adjusts and gains confidence and flair. She has personal difficulties as she delves more into her profession, such as a poor relationship with her boyfriend Nate (Adrian Grenier) and moral conundrums regarding the standards of the fashion industry.

Along with Stanley Tucci, Adrian Grenier, and Simon Baker, Emily Blunt had her breakthrough in the picture, which also earned Streep a Golden Globe and an Academy Award nomination.
