The Devil Wears Prada undoubtedly remains one of the most iconic and revered films in the world of fashion cinema. From Miranda Priestly’s cold, cerulean gaze—masterfully embodied by Meryl Streep—to that wardrobe that defines every fashionista’s dreams and nightmares, the film captured with surgical precision the pulse, grandeur, and shadows of the fashion publishing industry. Now, starting in July 2024, production of its sequel has been confirmed, an event long awaited by the generations who grew up with this cinematic gem.
Filming has begun, and the first signs are coming from social media, where Simone Ashley—star of Bridgerton—and Pauline Chalamet, known for Sex Lives of College Girls, have been spotted on the New York set. Anne Hathaway and Stanley Tucci, key figures from the original cast, have also been spotted, confirming the resumption of this narrative universe with key faces.
Despite the general enthusiasm, there is a palpable demand for discretion to preserve the experience without spoilers, especially with the still mysterious absence of Emily Blunt, whose incorporation adds an interesting nuance to this new phase.
Interestingly, in 2022, Anne Hathaway expressed doubts about the viability of a sequel, emphasizing that the current digital world is a far cry from the era in which the first film explored the physical creation of fashion. However, the present confirms that the sequel is underway and that the cast is returning in full force.
So far, Anne Hathaway has been confirmed to star as Andy Sachs, Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly, Emily Blunt reprising her iconic role as Emily, Tracie Thoms as Lily, and Stanley Tucci as Nigel. Joining this roster are Simone Ashley, Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, and Pauline Chalamet, expanding a star-studded cast that promises to renew and expand the original narrative. Meanwhile, Adrian Grenier, who played Nate Cooper, will not be part of the project, thus closing a sentimental chapter that was decisive in the first installment.
On the creative front, the absence of Patricia Field, the legendary costume designer responsible for the unforgettable looks of the original film, is a cause for speculation. It is confirmed that Field is currently committed to And Just Like That… and does not appear to be returning to the DWP universe, which opens the door to new visual and stylistic proposals.
The script remains under strict secrecy, although sources from People and Deadline suggest a profound shift in power dynamics: Emily, now out of Miranda’s shadow, is working at a luxury fashion advertising agency, while Miranda faces the challenges of the decline of the print publishing world with Runway. Andy’s story, however, remains a mystery, with conflicting reports and no official confirmation from Disney.
Production, backed by 20th Century Studios and with original screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna returning, officially began on June 30, 2025, with a tentative release date of May 1, 2026. Eager fans can get a head start by reading Revenge Wears Prada: The Devil Returns, a literary sequel that has served as inspiration, albeit with creative liberties that guarantee surprises and new developments.
This revival of The Devil Wears Prada not only promises a return full of style and sophistication, but also reaffirms its status as a cultural touchstone in fashion and film. It remains to be seen whether this second installment will capture the same magic and scathing criticism that made the original an undisputed classic.
Stay tuned for future updates and exclusive details, because fashion and film are about to experience one of their most anticipated moments.
The sequel to The Devil Wears Prada is already in the works.
