This summer, we're getting a reboot of Gossip Girl, with the nostalgia gods looking down on us in our time of need. But now, it also looks as if we might be getting even luckier. That's right, Devil Wears Prada fans: we could be getting a follow-up to the world of Runway Magazine 'at some point' in the future.

You'll remember the hit film that saw Andy, who lacked a sense of style (not a question) but somehow clinched a job working for the terrifying Miranda, editor of Runway, before finding herself falling into a fashion rabbit hole. Well, we could be finding out what happened next.

In a brand new interview with Entertainment Weekly, author Lauren Weisberger - who wrote the book the film is based on - revealed that there have been lots of talks about a potential TV series or sequel. This makes sense, as she released a sequel to the original book which saw Andy team up with her former office nemesis, Emily, on their own publication.

'There have been a lot of conversations about it,' Lauren said. 'I wouldn't say it's out of the realm of possibility.'

However, the film’s director David Frankel is less keen.

He said, '[The studio] didn't ask for [a sequel]. We had a meeting where we said, "What could we do if there was a sequel?" Maybe it was stupid; we felt like, No, this story has been told... Lauren eventually wrote another book following up 15 years later.

'We came to the same conclusion, that just following the characters wouldn't be the same.'

Anne Hathaway - who played Andy - and Emily Blunt - who played Emily - are game, though. 'I would do it, but only if everyone did it,' Emily said in 2014. 'I don't know why it hasn't been done, but everyone's got to do it.' Earlier that year Anne agreed that she'd be keen for a reunion. 'Wouldn't that be fun?', she told Graham Norton. 'I'd love to do that.' We're sure Meryl Streep and Stanley Tucci could be convinced if their co-stars just gave them a call.

The cult movie - which earned Meryl an Oscar nomination for Best Actress - celebrates its 15th anniversary this year, and the cast recently reunited to share their fond memories. Amidst the revelations were the fact that Notebook star Rachel McAdams actually turned down the role three times, while Adrian Grenier - who played Andy's boyfriend Nate - addressed something we have truly always known: that he, not Miranda, was the true villain of The Devil Wears Prada.

Anne had since admitted that the role 'spoke to her' and that she 'screamed and ran around her flat' when she was offered the role. Now, come on Anne: don't you want to slip into those Chanel boots? Just for one last time? Are we reaching for the stars here?

That's all.
