Sequel to The Devil Wears Prada Announced—Here’s What We Know

The Devil Wears Prada is a cultural phenomenon, a film that remains quotable, endlessly watchable, and timelessly iconic. Nearly two decades after its release, fans of the film have a reason to rejoice—a sequel is currently in development at Disney.

Deadline has revealed that the project is in its early stages, with key behind-the-scenes figures from the original movie expected to return. These include director David Frankel, writer Aline Brosh McKenna, and producer Wendy Finerman. While there’s no confirmation yet on whether Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, or Emily Blunt will reprise their roles, it’s hard to imagine a sequel without them.

According to Variety, the new storyline will focus on Miranda Priestly as she navigates the challenges of her career amidst the decline of traditional magazine publishing. Complications arise when she faces off against Emily Blunt’s character, now a powerful executive for a luxury group that Miranda needs advertising dollars from. The potential clash of titans in this high-stakes world makes for a tantalizing plot.

Inspired by this exciting development, it’s impossible not to look back at some of the classic lines that made the first movie unforgettable.

One quote that stands out is, “Please bore someone else with your questions.” This sharp line perfectly captures the no-nonsense attitude of Miranda Priestly, making it one of the film’s standout moments.

Another favorite is the wry remark, “It’s a tough call. They’re so different.” Delivered with a deadpan humor that leaves an indelible mark, this line deftly highlights the fashion world’s often superficial choices.

Then there’s the cutting question, “I’m sorry, do you have some prior commitment? Some hideous skirt convention you have to go to?” This quip underscores the pressure and absurdity that character Andy Sachs faces in the high-fashion environment.

Miranda’s icy delivery of “By all means, move at a glacial pace. You know how that thrills me,” is an iconic representation of her demanding nature, making it a meme-worthy line even years after the movie premiered.

And of course, who can forget the sarcastic, yet unforgettable, “Florals for spring? Groundbreaking.” This line encapsulates Miranda’s ability to deliver withering critiques with just a few words.

While we wait with bated breath for more updates on the sequel, these memorable quotes serve as a perfect reminder of why the original The Devil Wears Prada holds such a special place in our hearts.
