Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci are reprising their roles in the sequel to The Devil Wears Prada.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the highly anticipated follow-up to the 2006 film begins shooting this week in New York and Italy. Kenneth Branagh joins the cast, playing the husband of Streep’s character.
The original film, based on the bestselling novel of the same name, followed the story of Andy (Hathaway), a journalism graduate who lands a job as the assistant to Miranda Priestly (Streep), the formidable editor of the fashion magazine Runway—a character inspired by Anna Wintour.
Andy navigates the ruthless world of fashion with the help of her co-worker (Blunt). The movie became a global hit, grossing $326 million at the box office and earning Streep an Oscar nomination.
The sequel reportedly sees Miranda Priestly still at the helm of Runway, which is now struggling under the pressure of the digital age. Blunt’s former assistant character has risen to a top executive position in a luxury brand conglomerate that continues to advertise in Runway, introducing a new layer of tension between them.
Stanley Tucci also returns as Nigel Kipling, the magazine’s creative director, while Kenneth Branagh will portray Miranda’s husband.
