Prepare for a fashionable comeback as the iconic character of Miranda Priestly, portrayed by Meryl Streep, makes a anticipated return in an upcoming sequel to the acclaimed film ‘The Devil Wears Prada’.

After much speculation from eager fans, Disney has officially greenlit the project with Aline Brosh McKenna, the original film’s screenwriter, in negotiations to pen the script for this highly-anticipated sequel.
