Ten years after The Devil Wears Prada, Lauren Weisberger is writing its sequel. In Revenge Wears Prada: The Devil Returns, the story picks up eight years later. The synopsis says: "Eight years have passed since Andrea "Andy" Sachs quit the job "a million girls would die for" working for Miranda Priestly at Runway Magazine - a dream that turned out to be a nightmare. Now Andy's on the top of the world: she's writing and reporting to her heart's content; running The Plunge, her wildly successful high fashion bridal magazine with Miranda's other ex-assistant, Emily; and most importantly, getting married to the scion of a storied media family and the love of her life. But the night before her wedding, Andy can't sleep. As happy as she is - as happy as she should be - she's still haunted by the spectre of her former boss. Maybe it's survivor syndrome? Or maybe it's justifiable, self-inflicted, paranoia. From the start, Andy and Emily have felt entitled to use their rolodex of contacts - Miranda's contacts - from Runway as they make their way in the magazine world. As The Plunge succeeds, Andy and Emily realise they'll soon come face to face with their former tormenter at industry functions, award ceremonies, and even weddings. Still, Andy can hardly anticipate the horrifying reality that's approaching - a reversal so profound that she will be squarely in Miranda's crosshairs once more. Karma's a bitch. And Andy's efforts to build a bright new life have led her directly to the one she fled - and into the path of the Devil herself." The first book, released in 2003, was loosely based on the author's experiences as Anna Wintour's assistant. It was released as a film in 2006 starring Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep. Revenge Wears Prada is expected to be released in June 2013.
