The Devil Wears Prada Sequel Plans 2026 Release With Original Cast

The long-awaited sequel to the 2006 film The Devil Wears Prada is officially in production, with filming underway and a potential release in 2026. Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci are confirmed to reprise their iconic roles, while Kenneth Branagh joins the cast as Miranda Priestly's husband, suggesting a deeper exploration of her personal life. The sequel is expected to explore contemporary fashion themes such as digital media, influencer culture, and ethical dilemmas faced by the characters, possibly drawing on Lauren Weisberger's 2013 sequel novel Revenge Wears Prada, which follows Andy Sachs as a successful editor haunted by her past. However, some fans express concern about the sequel closely following the book's plot, with hopes that the film will offer fresh storylines beyond the source material. Notably, Adrian Grenier will not return as Nate, Andy's boyfriend from the original film, indicating a shift in character focus. The involvement of original screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna and director David Frankel promises continuity with the original's tone and style, while new cast additions hint at a modernized take on the fashion world.
