Amid the high anticipation surrounding The Devil Wears Prada sequel, actress Emily Blunt teases fans as she reveals details about the film. The film is reportedly being produced by Disney and will likely hit the theatres in May 2026. The original film cast Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt in lead roles and became one of the most iconic films of all time.
During an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Blunt revealed that production of The Devil Wears Prada 2 is set to begin in July this year. Blunt is expected to reprise her role as Emily Charlton in the upcoming movie. Blunt further heightened the anticipation by stating she is hopeful for possible character development. “Let’s hope we remedy [the conflict between Emily and Miranda]. I’m not sure. Can you tell I’m skirting the issue? Can you tell I can’t tell you anything?” the actress noted.
According to Wrap reports, the sequel will focus on Miranda Priestly as she struggles due to the decline of magazine publishing and runways facing challenges to stay relevant. During such times, she is expected to turn to Emily, who is now a well-known executive at a luxury fashion brand. Although the casting has not been finalised yet, it is expected that key original members will reprise their roles in the sequel.
Director David Frankel, who directed the original movie, will likely return along with Stanley Tucci, who played the beloved character Nigel in the movie. As per Variety reports, Tucci talked about the film during an interview and noted, “I know they’re working on it. If it happens, I would be so happy, but I cannot give you any information.”
The original 2006 film The Devil Wears Prada revolves around aspiring journalist Andrea Sachs, AKA Andy (played by Anne Hathaway), a recent graduate of Northwestern University who, despite her lack of knowledge about the fashion industry, gets a job as a junior personal assistant to Miranda Priestly (played by Meryl Streep), the editor-in-chief of Runway magazine. The plot centres around Andy’s struggle to fit into the cutthroat fashion industry. After putting in extreme efforts, she finally becomes successful in her job, only to realise she does not want the glitz and glamour of the fashion industry. At this point,t Miranda’s famous dialogue—Don’t be ridiculous, Andrea; everybody wants this. Everybody wants to be us—echoes in Andy’s ears, but she decides to leave everything behind and follow her true passion—journalism.
