Anne Hathaway Drops Major Hint for 'Devil Wears Prada 2': Could Andy Sachs Make a Comeback to Runway?

The fashion world, and indeed pop culture enthusiasts everywhere, are buzzing with renewed excitement as Academy Award-winning actress Anne Hathaway recently dropped a tantalizing hint about a potential sequel to the beloved 2006 film, 'The Devil Wears Prada'. During her press tour for her latest movie, 'The Idea of You', Hathaway playfully suggested a plot point that could bring her iconic character, Andy Sachs, back into the orbit of the notoriously demanding Miranda Priestly, portrayed by the legendary Meryl Streep.

"I'd love to do it," Hathaway enthused when asked about a sequel.

"I think we all would like to do it. It's just like, is there a story?" She then, with a twinkle in her eye, offered a humorous and surprisingly plausible idea: "I don't know, just, like, Andy falls back in." This simple yet evocative phrase has sent fans into a frenzy, imagining a scenario where Andy, having navigated a career beyond the fashion magazine Runway, finds herself drawn back – perhaps reluctantly, perhaps inevitably – to the high-stakes, high-fashion world dominated by her former boss.

This isn't the first time the cast has expressed interest in revisiting the iconic narrative.

Meryl Streep herself has previously voiced her enthusiasm for reuniting with Hathaway and the rest of the cast. The chemistry between the leads, combined with the sharp wit and timeless themes of ambition, sacrifice, and self-discovery, made 'The Devil Wears Prada' an instant classic. Its biting satire of the fashion industry and powerful performances continue to resonate with new generations of viewers, solidifying its status as a cult favorite.

The original film saw Andy Sachs, a bright-eyed aspiring journalist, accidentally land a job as a junior assistant to Miranda Priestly, the formidable editor-in-chief of Runway magazine.

Her journey from fashion outsider to a woman struggling with the ethical compromises of her demanding role captivated audiences. A sequel, exploring Andy's life years later and potentially bringing her back into Miranda's orbit, offers rich narrative possibilities. Could she return as a rival? A consultant? Or simply find herself in a situation where Priestly's influence is inescapable?

While nothing is officially confirmed, Hathaway's recent comments, coupled with the ongoing fan demand and the stars' apparent willingness, certainly fuel hopes for 'The Devil Wears Prada 2'.

The idea of Andy Sachs "falling back in" is a deliciously intriguing prospect, promising more sharp dialogue, stunning fashion, and the unparalleled dynamic between two unforgettable characters. Fans will undoubtedly be watching closely for any further developments, eager to see if this sartorial dream finally becomes a reality.
