What Is The Plot For The Devil Wears Prada 2?
Things aren't like they used to be at Runway. It's been 20 years, and the powerhouse magazine is facing a steep plummet in readership as traditional print struggles to survive the digital age.
But if you thought Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway) was coming back as a job-seeker, think again. The sequel's official trailer reveals a high-stakes power struggle: Miranda Priestly is fighting for her career’s survival, and the only person standing in her way is her former assistant, Emily Charlton (Emily Blunt). Emily is now a high-powered executive at a luxury group, and Miranda desperately needs her advertising budget to keep Runway afloat.
