It seemed like an illusion, but it was confirmed:The Devil Wears Prada 2 already has a release date and will bring back Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt. The official announcement surprised everyone and came just in time to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the original release.
The sequel will be in theaters on May 1, 2026, according to Variety magazine. This return marks a new chapter for one of the most iconic films in the world of fashion and 2000s pop culture.
A classic that never left
The first installment, directed by David Frankel in 2006, adapted the novel by Lauren Weisberger, inspired by her experience as an assistant to an elite fashion editor. The story showcased the excesses and contradictions of the fashion world, without forgetting its relevance as a cultural and economic industry.
Since its release, the film has garnered fans, achieved two Oscar nominations (including one for Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestley), and became an instant classic. It even reached the theater with musical versions in London and New York.

Over time, The Devil Wears Prada (its original title) has established itself as a reference in fashion cinema, positioning itself as the more sarcastic and accessible side compared to denser works like Robert Altman's Pret-a-porter.
A return with new challenges
The sequel will arrive with a completely new script. The plot will focus on Miranda Priestley facing a declining professional scenario: top-level magazines are losing influence and, with them, advertisers. Runway's empire no longer shines as it once did.
In an interesting twist, Emily — the character played by Emily Blunt — will be at the helm of a powerful group of top-level brands. She will be key for Miranda to regain control of the media and, perhaps, her reputation.
For now, the fate of Andy Sachs, the young journalist played by Anne Hathaway, is unknown. Her absence in the synopsis keeps the mystery and raises public expectations.
A hint that anticipated it all
In February 2024, the three actresses took the stage together at the SAG Awards and recreated a mythical scene from the original film. The gesture set off alarms among fans, who quickly speculated about a sequel.
Shortly after, in July, it was confirmed that the project was already underway. Although not many details were revealed at that time, the news made it clear that the phenomenon was far from over.
It has not yet been confirmed if Stanley Tucci will return as Nigel, but his participation is one of the most anticipated points by the saga's followers.
