It’s hard to imagine a more iconic movie about fashion… Nearly two decades after the release of the memorable The Devil Wears Prada, a sequel has been confirmed by the media Variety and Deadline, along with a release date set on May 1st, 2026.
The cult classic The Devil Wears Prada starring Anne Hathaway is getting a sequel
The original film’s producer, Wendy Finerman, is reportedly developing this sequel backed by Disney, while David Frankel, who directed the first film, is expected to direct it as well. Aline Brosh McKenna, the original screenwriter of The Devil Wears Prada, is said to be working on the sequel too. A sign of a high-quality production…
Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt confirmed in the cast
But what excites us most is the comeback of the original actresses. According to Puck News, Meryl Streep will once again portray Miranda Priestly, the uncompromising and ultra-chic editor-in-chief of the fictional fashion magazine Runway. Emily Blunt will take back her role as Emily, the insufferable assistant to Meryl Streep’s character.
However, there was some uncertainty doubt about Anne Hathaway’s participation. With her busy schedule, the actress could have chosen not to step back into the now-iconic shoes of Andrea Sachs, the endearing heroine who had to navigate the perils of the cutthroat world of fashion. In previous interviews, Anne Hathaway was uncertain about her participation in a sequel. Yet, the latest news confirms that she will indeed be part of the cast, alongside the excellent Stanley Tucci.
A plot focused on the tyrannical Miranda Priestly
In the original 2006 film, we met the irresistible and shy Andrea, as she landed in New York to become the assistant of the difficult editor-in-chief of a major fashion magazine.
In this sequel adapted from Lauren Weisberger’s novel, the tyrannical Miranda Priestly is still at the helm of Runway, but the magazine is facing financial difficulties. Having lost some of her prestige, Miranda will envy Emily, who has built a flourishing business. It’s still unclear what position Andrea Sachs will hold, but we’re eager to see how the film’s creators will adapt to the many changes that have taken place in the media and fashion industries, especially with the dominant role of social media…
The sequel to The Devil Wears Prada starring Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt is scheduled for May 1st, 2026.
