After nearly two decades of fan anticipation, it looks like The Devil Wears Prada sequel is finally moving forward, and Emily Blunt gave us the update we’ve been waiting for. In a recent interview, the actress confirmed that filming for the sequel is officially set to begin soon. But there’s more than just excitement brewing behind the scenes.
While Blunt and others are gearing up for the cameras, fashion icon Anna Wintour is reportedly playing a quiet but powerful role in shaping the story. Let’s dive deeper!
Emily Blunt confirms Devil Wears Prada 2 – but is Anna Wintour steering the sequel?
After years of speculation and, of course, wishful thinking, The Devil Wears Prada 2 is finally happening. The same was confirmed by actress Emily Blunt in an interview with Entertainment Tonight, where she said that the anticipated second part is all set to begin this July. She’ll be reuniting with Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway, though plot details remain tightly under wraps at the moment.
But while the stars are stepping back into their iconic roles, one powerful figure is influencing things from behind the curtain – Anna Wintour. The Vogue editor is widely believed to be the real-life inspiration for Miranda Priestly. And even though she may not appear on screen, her shadow still looms large.
In fact, many designers famously stayed away from the 2006 hit, afraid that they’d upset her. With Wintour still dominating the fashion world, it’s likely the sequel will also feel her silent authority. While she eventually praised the original movie, her influence on the fashion industry – and now possibly the story itself – is undeniable.
So, as the production gears up and fans wait for more updates, one thing is clear: this sequel won’t just be about fashion. In fact, it will be more about power, legacy, and the woman who continues to shape both, even without saying a word.
Everything we know about The Devil Wears Prada 2
The Devil Wears Prada sequel is officially happening, and the movie is expected to hit theatres on May 1, 2026, taking the date that was earlier set for Avengers: Doomsday. While the casting isn’t fully confirmed yet, it’s highly likely that Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, and Anne Hathaway will all return.
The story is expected to focus on Streep’s Miranda Priestly, the fierce fashion editor we all remember. This time, she may be facing something even tougher than her assistants – the decline of print media. Reports, as per Deadline, suggest that she’ll have to adapt to the changing fashion world and possibly reconnect with old allies.
Moreover, Aline Brosh McKenna, who wrote the original screenplay, is back to write the sequel. Also, David Frankel is all set to return to his director duties, with Wendy Finerman serving again as producer. While we don’t know if Stanley Tucci will be back as Nigel, fans are certainly hoping that he does.
So far, no trailers or posters have been released, and story details are tightly hidden. But with the original creative team returning, expectations are high.
You can currently rent The Devil Wears Prada on Apple TV (rent) and Disney+. Moreover, The Devil Wears Prada 2 is expected to hit theatres on May 1, 2026
