In 2006, the film “The Devil Wears Prada” was released. This film, based on the novel by Lauren Weisberger, brought Meryl Streep to the stage as a fashion editor with crazy demands that caused suffering to her assistants, played by Emily Blunt and Anne Hathaway.
The film not only celebrated the fashion industry but also satirized it, gaining a huge cult following and recently being adapted into a stage musical. After two decades of waiting, the long-awaited sequel is coming.
Who will be next?
Meryl Streep returns as Miranda Priestly for the first time since "Don't Look Up" in 2021.
Anne Hathaway will return as Andrea “Andy” Sachs, while Emily Blunt will once again play her assistant.
Stanley Tucci will return as Nigel, Miranda's right-hand man, who is expected to have a more prominent role this time around. He will also be joined in the cast by Kenneth Branagh, who will play Miranda's husband.
On the other hand, Adrián Grenier, known as Nate, will not be part of the sequel, as his role and Adrián's character's social network have been criticized as negative in the first interpretation.
What will the film show?
Based in part on Weisberger's novel "Revenge Wears Prada," the film will follow Miranda as she grapples with the decline of traditional magazine publishing.
She will try to collaborate with Emily, who is now a successful executive at a luxury brand, to secure advertising revenue.
In the real world, Weisberger worked as an assistant to Anna Wintour at Vogue, who just stepped down after 37 years as editor-in-chief.
Who is writing and directing the sequel?
David Frankel returns to direct, while Aline Brosh McKenna will write the screenplay.
They are part of the original creative team, bringing their experience from other well-known projects.
When will it be released in cinemas?
The film is expected to be released in theaters on May 1, 2026, just a week before the biggest fashion event, the Met Gala.
The first trailer is already in production, heralding the return of one of the most beloved films of the decade.
After a long wait, fashion and cinema fans will have the opportunity to return to the dramatic world of "The Devil Wears Prada."
