Who wrote the screenplay for The Devil Wears Prada 2?

Aline Brosh McKenna wrote the screenplay for The Devil Wears Prada 2. She also wrote the screenplay for the 2006 original, so the sequel preserves an important part of the franchise’s creative voice.

McKenna is an American screenwriter and producer known for combining sharp dialogue with character-driven comedy and drama. Her other screenplay credits include 27 Dresses, Morning Glory and Cruella. In the Prada films, her writing helps shape the tense but witty relationships among Miranda Priestly, Andy Sachs, Emily Charlton and Nigel.

The sequel returns to the fashion-media world of Runway magazine, but its story reflects changes in publishing and the luxury business. McKenna’s involvement connects that modern conflict to the workplace dynamics established in the first film rather than treating the sequel as an unrelated fashion comedy.

The alternatives are writers linked to different projects. Diablo Cody wrote Juno, Tina Fey wrote and starred in films such as Date Night and Mean Girls, and Nora Ephron wrote classics including When Harry Met Sally. None wrote The Devil Wears Prada 2.
