The Devil Wears Prada 2: What We Know So Far

After nearly two decades of quotable lines, sky-high stilettos, and Chanel boots, The Devil Wears Prada is officially getting a sequel—and fashion and film lovers everywhere are (rightfully) losing it.

According to early reports, the second instalment will reunite Meryl Streep as the icy and iconic Miranda Priestly and Anne Hathaway as the ever-evolving Andy Sachs. With the original film cemented as a cultural cornerstone for fashion-forward cinema, the announcement feels like a long-awaited comeback couture moment.

So, what do we know?

While producers are keeping the script under wraps, rumour has it the sequel picks up years after Andy left Runway to pursue serious journalism. Miranda, still at the helm of fashion media—or perhaps pivoting into something even more formidable—is rumoured to be facing the decline of print power in the digital age.

There’s buzz that Emily Blunt will also return as Emily Charlton, possibly as a rival editor or head of her own fashion empire. With the rise of influencers, AI styling, and fashion’s ongoing identity crisis in the sustainability era, the sequel has plenty to sink its well-manicured claws into.

Whilst Meryl Streep as the formidable Miranda Priestly and Anne Hathaway as the ever-evolving Andy Sachs are confirmed to return, so are Emily Blunt as the sharp-tongued Emily Charlton, and Stanley Tucci as the beloved Nigel. Joining this powerhouse cast is Kenneth Branagh, whose role is being kept tightly under wraps—but it has been suggested he could play a rival media mogul or high-stakes investor shaking up the fashion world. With this ensemble, the sequel promises not just couture, but high drama and even sharper dialogue.

When the original film premiered in 2006, it was a glossy, sharp-tongued mirror of the fashion industry—and reportedly hit a little too close to home for some. This time, the sequel is filming in New York, London, and Milan, with street-style-worthy moments already surfacing online. Think oversized sunglasses, structured trenches, and whispers of archival Galliano.

Expect the film to reflect not just how fashion has changed, but how women in media—and power—have evolved, too.

In an age where TikTok trends cycle faster than fashion weeks and glossy magazines fight to stay relevant, the return of The Devil Wears Prada feels like a deliberate full-circle moment. It’s nostalgia with edge. And for millennials who once dreamt of “a job a million girls would kill for,” it’s a chance to reflect on ambition, burnout, reinvention—and maybe even a little revenge dressing.

We’ll be watching not just for the couture, but for the commentary. Because when Miranda walks back into the office (or perhaps onto a very elevated Zoom call), one thing’s for certain: everyone will still be watching.

And yes—Florals? For fall? Groundbreaking.
