Summary
McKenna said Meryl Streep’s willingness to hear ideas, after producer Wendy Finerman raised the prospect, accelerated work on the sequel nearly 20 years after the 2006 original.
She said the story revisits the four main characters in industries transformed by changes in journalism, fashion and publishing, while aiming to balance fan-service references with accessibility for new viewers.
McKenna also said the film uses more real designers, reflects shifting workplace and cultural values, and arrives amid strong public anticipation after crowds and paparazzi followed New York shooting last summer.
