The Devil Wears Prada 2 Enters Production With Original Cast

The long-anticipated sequel to The Devil Wears Prada is officially in production and slated for release on May 1, 2026, reuniting iconic characters to explore the challenges of the declining print magazine industry. Meryl Streep returns as Miranda Priestly, who faces competition from Emily Blunt's character, now a powerful executive in the luxury fashion business, as they vie for advertising revenue amidst the shifting media landscape. Stanley Tucci and Anne Hathaway are in talks to return, although only Streep and Blunt have been confirmed so far. The sequel's plot reportedly draws from Lauren Weisberger's 2013 novel Revenge Wears Prada, focusing on new roles of authority and rivalry. Fans have expressed mixed reactions, with some praising the realistic storyline reflecting current publishing struggles, while others criticize the sequel as unnecessary or late. The original screenwriter and producer are involved, aiming to preserve the tone and style that made the first film a cultural landmark.
