Gird your loins! After 19 long years, the sequel to The Devil Wears Prada aka The Devil Wears Prada 2 is officially in production meaning that we can start counting down the days (ok, months) until the rom-com will hit cinemas.
What is the plot of The Devil Wears Prada 2?
If rumours are to be believed, the second Devil Wears Prada film will focus on Miranda (Meryl Streep), as she faces the decline of the once booming magazine publishing business. In fact, the only person who can help bail her out is her former assistant, Emily Charlton (Emily Blunt) - who just so happens to work as a high-powered executive at a luxury fashion group. Apparently, Miranda needs the brand's big advertising budget to help prove that everyone still wants a piece of the Priestly.
Emily Blunt recently joked, 'Why are Meryl and I so mean to each other in every movie we do? We always have beef with each other. I don’t know what it is. Let’s hope we remedy it. I’m not sure.'
Who has been cast in The Devil Wears Prada 2?
Meryl Streep will reportedly return as Runway editor Miranda Priestly, with Emily Blunt also reportedly returning as Miranda's long-suffering assistant, Emily Charlton. Anne Hathaway is also set to reprise her role as the iconic Andy Sachs for the sequel, but it's not currently clear how her character fits into Miranda and Emily's world.
Stanley Tucci is also down to play Nigel Kipling again. Nearly 20 years later, has he finally escaped Miranda's clutches and climbed to the top of his career ladder? We'll have to wait to find out.
Also said to be back onboard with the project are the film's original producer, Wendy Finerman, and original screenwriter, Aline Brosh McKenna.
As for new cast members, Kenneth Branagh is set to join The Devil Wears Prada 2 as Miranda's husband.
Does The Devil Wears Prada 2 have a release date?
Unfortunately we can't get any more specific than 'Summer 2026' at the moment, but a 20 year gap between the two films sounds perfect to us.
'Everybody wants this,' wrote one fan on X, as another agreed, 'The Devil Wears Prada sequel! Literally shaking and crying.'
However, not everyone is so sure that a second film is such a good idea. One fan wrote, 'The Devil Wears Prada is one of the movies nearest and dearest to my heart. I think it's perfect, and the ending was perfect. I just hope that the sequel does the characters justice, and doesn't just fill in "where are they now" blanks.'
Based off of Laura Weisberger's 2003 novel, The Devil Wears Prada was a box office smash - earning $326.7 million worldwide. The role of fiery Miranda - who was thought to be at least partially inspired by Vogue's Anna Wintour, who Laura worked for as a personal assistant - landed Mamma Mia star Meryl a Golden Globe for best actress in a comedy, as well as an Academy Award nomination.
