Attention, fashionistas—grab your lattes and sharpen those stilettos, because The Devil Wears Prada is back. That’s right. Two decades after Miranda Priestly gave us all collective chills with a pursed lip and a cutting, “That’s all,” a sequel is officially strutting its way into our lives.
And yes, we’re screaming internally (and externally).
From filming schedules and returning stars to juicy plot hints and vintage Prada, here’s everything we know—and a few things we’re praying for—about the most anticipated fashion film sequel of the century.
When is The Devil Wears Prada sequel coming out?
Clear your 2026 calendar now. The untitled sequel is set to slay theatres on May 1, 2026—exactly 20 years after the original film first made us question our entire wardrobe and fall in love with Anne Hathaway’s bangs.
After years of whispers, false starts, and fan petitions, Disney finally confirmed that yes, the Runway office doors are opening once more. Somewhere, a cerulean sweater is quaking.
Who’s walking back into the glossy pages of Runway?
Let’s get the catwalk gossip out of the way: Emily Blunt is IN. While she’s been keeping hush-hush on plot specifics, she revealed to Entertainment Tonight that she starts shooting in July 2025. She’s also gunning for a fierce makeup glow-up. (As are we.)
Although Meryl Streep hasn’t officially confirmed her return as the icy icon Miranda Priestly, it’s undeniable thatno one else can carry that coat-fling with such lethal elegance. Additionally, Variety suggests that Priestly will play a prominent role in the story, so let’s hope Meryl returns to her signature Louboutins.
Stanley Tucci, aka the scene-stealing Nigel, has said he’s open to it. “One of the best experiences I’ve ever had,” he told Parade. Please, Hollywood, don’t make us beg. We need him.
While Anne Hathaway’s status remains unknown, her reunion with Streep and Blunt at the 2024 SAG Awards showcased her undeniable chemistry. Call us delusional, but the internet would implode if Andy Sachs made a comeback. (Yes, we’re manifesting it.)
What could the plot be?
Cue the Chanel tweed detective coat.
While plot details are more secret than Miranda’s dry cleaning schedule, we do have some clues. Variety claims the film will centre on Miranda Priestly navigating a crumbling traditional magazine industry, facing off against Emily’s character, now a top-tier executive at a luxury brand controlling all-important advertising dollars.
The film promises to be a compelling power struggle.
If this feels like it echoes Lauren Weisberger’s 2013 novel Revenge Wears Prada, you’re not wrong. In the book, Andy has moved on to run a bridal magazine and is about to get married—until a ghost from the past (ahem, Miranda) resurfaces to shake things up.
Think couture catfights meets digital disruption. Will Miranda and Emily engage in a fashion-driven media battle? We’ll take front-row seats, thank you very much.

What kind of vibe are we hoping for?
- We anticipate more savage one-liners.
- We hope to see more captivating scenes of makeover magic.
- And yes, Nigel’s sass is making a comeback because the phrase “I’m just one stomach flu away from my goal weight” still occupies our thoughts.
Our hot takes and wish list:
- Andy has transitioned from being a mentor to a rival.
- Emily gets the revenge arc she deserves. More Prada, more power, and hopefully more pastry-related insults await Emily.
- Miranda takes on influencers, TikTok stars, and algorithm editors. Imagine the monologue possibilities!
- Runway gets a digital makeover, and Miranda has to navigate a world run by clickbait and SEO. (Yes, just like this article—hi, Google!)
Final thoughts? That’s all. (Until we know more.)
The fashion, the power plays, and the shade are all captivating! This sequel possesses all the necessary elements to create a truly stylish cinematic experience. Whether it lives up to the hype or not, one thing’s for sure—we’ll be there on opening day, dressed to impress and quoting Miranda all the way through the popcorn queue.
Should you require my presence between now and 2026, I will be rewatching The Devil Wears Prada, imagining my cat as Stanley Tucci, and diligently updating my wardrobe.
