Streep and Emily Blunt have reportedly signed on to reprise their roles from the first film.
"The storyline being discussed focuses on Miranda Priestly, Streep's Wintour-esque protagonist, at the end of her career, facing the decline of traditional magazine publishing," Puck News reports.
"She's forced to go head-to-head with her former assistant, Blunt’s Emily Charlton, now a high-powered executive at a Kering or LVMH-style luxury group, whose advertising dollars Priestly desperately needs."
There was already a brief Devil Wears Prada reunion of sorts at this year's SAG Awards.
The script will come from the pen of Aline Brosh McKenna, the screenwriter behind the previous installment, original producer Wendy Finerman is on board, and Deadline reports that director David Frankel is in talks to return.
The biggest question mark remaining is if star Anne Hathaway will also be back to don Andy Sachs' cerulean sweater once again. In April, she admitted on the record that she didn't think a sequel was likely to happen.

"We all love each other and if somebody could come up with a way to do it, I think we’d all be crazy not to. But there’s a huge difference in the world now with technology, and one of the things about that particular story is it was about producing a physical object," she told V Magazine.
"Now with so much being digital, it would just be very different," Hathaway added. "Maybe me, Stanley [Tucci], Emily, Meryl, Dave Frankel, [costume designer] Patricia Field…we should just all do something else together. That’d be fun."

"It’s an age-old question, where does the character end, and the actor begin?” Streep began. "Meryl and Miranda Priestly are sort of like twins," Blunt joked. "I don’t think I'm anything like Miranda Priestly!" Streep exclaimed.
"No, no, that wasn’t a question," Hathaway cheekily interjected.
