The Devil Wears Prada is getting a sequel. What do you think?
Nearly 10 years after penning her “fictional” book about geek-turned-chic assistant Andrea Sachs and ice-queen editrix Miranda Priestley (who is famously inspired by Anna Wintour, who the author was a personal assistant to), Lauren Weisberger has put pen to paper again to bring the characters back to life.
Revenge Wears Prada: The Devil Returns takes place eight years after Andrea triumphantly left Miranda in Paris. Andrea has teamed up with her nemesis-turned-friend Emily to create The Plunge, their very own magazine, and is engaged to a “social media scion” called Max (poor Nate). Thanks to New York’s small media world, Andrea’s path once again crosses with Miranda’s and, of course, drama ensues.
The book is set for release by Simon & Schuster in April 2013. No film sequel has been announced yet, but we would pay good money to see the original cast all together again.
What’s your take on the sequel: do you think Weisberger should have left her best-selling masterpiece alone, or are you anxious to see how things panned out for Andrea et al?
