Lauren Weisberger Inks Deal for the Sequel to The Devil Wears Prada

Posted on May 31, 2012

Simon and Schuster announced that Lauren Weisberger has inked a deal for the sequel to her bestselling novel, The Devil Wears Prada. The sequel will be called Revenge Wears Prada: The Devil Returns; Simon and Schuster will publish the title in April, 2013.

The original book was a huge international bestseller and was made into a film starring Meryl Streep as terrifying magazine editor Miranda Priestly (based on Lauren's boss Anna Wintour) and Anne Hathaway her hapless assistant. The sequel has Andy ready to get married and editing a hot bridal magazine called The Plunge. It is set eight years after the first book.

Simon and Schuster says, "Andy is madly in love with Max, a dashing scion of a storied media company, and planning to tie the knot. But Andy is still haunted by her days at Runway, and the specter of Miranda Priestly. Andy can hardly know that all her efforts to build a bright new life will lead her directly to the one she fled - and into the path of Miranda."

Update: Revenge Wears Prada was launched in London with a stiletto-off, of course.
