While the script is still under wraps, even from Blunt herself, she confessed, “It’s so weird; I haven’t even read a script. I don’t know. I’m just like, ‘Where is she?’ I don’t know.”

The sequel will once again be written by Aline Brosh McKenna, who penned the original screenplay. Director David Frankel is also expected to return, reuniting key creatives behind the first film.
