Sequel to The Devil Wears Prada announced
If you are like me and adored “The Devil Wears Prada” then you will be delighted to hear the recent news that Lauren Weisberger is currently working on a sequel.
Cleverly entitled “Revenge Wears Prada: The Devil Returns”, the book will be published by Simon & Schuster and is scheduled for release in April 2013, ten years after the original (really, has it been that long?)
In 2003, “The Devil Wears Prada” reached the top of many best-seller lists and went on to inspire the 2006 hit film starring Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway. The story is partly based on Weisberger’s own experience as second assistant to Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour and tells the story of Andrea Sachs, an aspiring journalist who has to deal with the unreasonable demands of her fashion editor boss, Miranda Priestly.
“Revenge Wears Prada” picks up eight years after Andy parted ways with Miranda on bad terms. Andy is now editing The Plunge, the hottest bridal magazine around, alongside Emily, her one-time Runway nemesis turned current BFF. While Andy is planning her own wedding to Max, a handsome media scion, she remains haunted by her impeccably heeled former boss — and the magazine world being as small as it is, it’s only a matter of time before she hears the dreaded syllables “Ahn-dre-ah!” again.
Since “The Devil Wears Prada” Weisberger has gone onto write three more novels but “Revenge Wears Prada” is her first return to Runway magazine.
I don’t know about you, but this is one sequel I am eagerly looking forward to!
