Emily Blunt returning as as the loveable nightmare, Emily Charlton, isn’t too much of a surprise given how vocal she was last year about her willingness to take on the world of Runway for a second time.

Initially, Emily had doubts about the possibility of a sequel, but clearly she changed her mind because at the Red Sea Festival last year, she said: “There’s rumblings, there’s stuff churning around, but I don’t know if I can confirm anything completely… but we would be all delighted to work together again.”

And Anne's return as Andy Sachs is a win for fans as in the past, she wasn't overly forthcoming about the prospect of a sequel, as she told E! News last March: “I don’t think a continuation of that story is probably ever gonna happen.”

She continued: “The truth of the matter is—with any film—all we can do is make it. The reason that movie felt so special was that we were a team and we did that work, but really it’s the love that everybody pours to it.”

The beloved Stanley told Variety earlier this year: “I know they’re working on it. If it happens, I would be so happy, but I cannot give you any information. Otherwise, I’ll go to the actor’s prison or something.”

Stanley also said that making the original film was “one of the best experiences ever.” Buckle up for round 2 darl!
