Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, and Emily Blunt have been spotted on the vibrant streets of Manhattan filming “The Devil Wears Prada 2.” This sequel to the 2006 hit, which amassed $326 million globally, marks a significant and eagerly awaited reunion. The original earned Streep a Best Actress Oscar nomination and remains a beloved classic.
The first “Devil Wears Prada” introduced viewers to Andy Sachs, played by Hathaway, an aspiring journalist who finds herself as the assistant to Miranda Priestly (Streep), the formidable editor of fashion magazine Runway. During her time there, Andy clashes with senior assistant Emily (Blunt) and forms an unexpected friendship with art director Nigel, portrayed by Stanley Tucci.
New Twists in the Sequel
Details about “The Devil Wears Prada 2” are tightly under wraps. The sequel reportedly explores Miranda’s challenges in a shifting publishing world, while Emily, her former assistant, rises as a powerful luxury executive. This dynamic sets up an intriguing narrative as advertising becomes key to Miranda’s success.
Exciting Reunions and Fresh Faces
The film sees the return of beloved cast members, including Stanley Tucci and Tracie Thoms as Andy’s best friend Lily. Original director David Frankel and writer Aline Brosh McKenna also return, making it a full-circle moment for the team. New additions include Kenneth Branagh as Miranda’s husband, along with Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, B.J. Novak, and Pauline Chalamet in intriguing new roles.
From Hesitation to Realization
While fans have long clamored for a sequel, the idea has met with caution from the cast. In 2022, Hathaway conveyed on “The View” that despite the allure, a sequel seemed difficult due to the digital transformation in media. However, the new storyline appears to bridge that gap, bringing the fashion world into the current era.
Set to hit theaters on May 1, 2026, from 20th Century Studios and Disney, “The Devil Wears Prada 2” promises a fashionable return to the screen. Check out set photos below for a sneak peek at what’s to come.
