The original film focused on Andy Sachs (Hathaway), an intelligent but fashion-inexperienced journalism graduate who moves to New York City aspiring to become a serious writer. In search of a job, she becomes a junior assistant to Miranda Priestly, the formidable editor-in-chief of the high-fashion magazine Runway.
The sequel will focus on Priestlyโs struggle to navigate the decline of traditional print media, as she comes head-to-head with her former assistant Emily Charlton (Blunt), who has risen to become a powerful executive in a luxury group controlling crucial advertising revenue.
