Anne Hathaway as Andrea Sachs in an office in The Devil Wears Prada
The long-awaited sequel to The Devil Wears Prada is finally starting production, almost 19 years after the original film. Based on the 2003 novel by Lauren Weisberg, the film stars Anne Hathaway as an aspiring journalist who gets a job at a fashion magazine, working under the demanding editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly .
Speculation of a sequel has existed since 2006, but nothing was confirmed until last year. In July 2024, Disney confirmed the early development of a Devil Wears Prada sequel, with Streep and Blunt set to return. Speaking with Entertainment Tonight, Emily Blunt, who is reprising her role as Emily Charlton, revealed that the sequel will start filming in July. Even though filming is expected to start soon, the star admits that she has yet to read a script: “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.” What This Update Means For The Devil Wears Prada 2 Devil Wears Prada 2 Is Actually Happening Close Blunt's confirmation of the start of production means the follow-up to Devil Wears Prada is moving full-steam ahead. The film has a release date of May 1, 2026, meaning production needs to start relatively soon if it plans to finish filming and post-production beforehand. It also means that the script is likely finished by Aline Bros McKenna, who wrote the original screenplay. It's unclear if other cast members, such as Hathaway or Stanley Tucci, are returning, as both stars haven't definitively confirmed their involvement. Related After Meryl Streep & Anne Hathaway, The Devil Wears Prada 2 Can't Happen Without Justice For One Original Character The sequel to The Devil Wears Prada is now in development, but aside from its three main actresses, this other original character must return. Posts 3 According to some reports, the sequel could follow Streep's Miranda as she navigates a world where traditional print publishing is declining. She turns to her old assistant, Emily, who is now a powerful ad executive, hoping to get the money she needs to revitalize her magazine. While the full extent of the casting is unclear, Blunt's update confirms her involvement in the sequel. It's possible within the next few months that there will be more clarity about the sequel's vision, including its potential plot and casting. Our Take On Blunt's Comments There Seems To Be A Lot Of Confidence In The Sequel Blunt's filming update suggests that Disney must have plenty of confidence in this film. While many sequels and spinoffs tend to achieve development status, many end up stuck in limbo, even for as long as two decades. This was the case for the Devil Wears Prada sequel for a long time, with even mixed signals from the cast. However, The Devil Wears Prada 2 release is a good sign that the project will come to fruition. It also suggests the studio knows it could be a major hit, and the script must be promising if it starts production only one year after it was announced. Still, there are many unknowns regarding this film, including its official cast and director. Nevertheless, Devil Wears Prada 2 is the sequel many are anticipating, and the wait is almost over.Your Rating close 10 stars 9 stars 8 stars 7 stars 6 stars 5 stars 4 stars 3 stars 2 stars 1 star Rate Now 0/10 Leave a Review Your comment has not been saved Like Follow Followed The Devil Wears Prada PG-13 Comedy Drama 9/10 20 9.1/10 Release Date June 30, 2006 Runtime 109 Minutes Director David Frankel Writers Aline Brosh McKenna, Lauren Weisberger Cast See All
