Latest Updates on The Devil Wears Prada Sequel Unveiled
In the world of high-end fashion, the iconic characters of Miranda Priestly and Emily Charlton are set to return to the silver screen in a highly-anticipated sequel to The Devil Wears Prada.
The plot of the sequel centers on Miranda Priestly (portrayed by Meryl Streep), at the end of her illustrious career, confronting the decline of traditional print media in the fashion industry. Her former assistant Emily Charlton (Emily Blunt) has risen to become a high-powered executive at a luxury conglomerate, similar to Kering or LVMH, and controls advertising dollars that Miranda desperately needs. This sets up a professional rivalry between the two, against the backdrop of the changing media landscape.
The upcoming film, scheduled for release on May 1, 2026, marks a departure from the book sequel's plot, which is more centered on Andy Sachs' challenges after her initial departure from the fashion world. The movie emphasizes Miranda and Emily’s evolving roles and the shifting business environment, diverging from the book sequel’s emphasis and narrative.
Many original stars, including Anne Hathaway, Stanley Tucci, and Adrian Grenier, are expected to return, but the sequel’s plot is reportedly more focused on Miranda and Emily, with Andy’s involvement less clear so far. New cast members include Simone Ashley, Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, B.J. Novak, Pauline Chalamet, Helen J. Shen, and Conrad Ricamora. Tracie Thoms and Tibor Feldman are reprising their roles from the original film.
Kenneth Branagh has joined the cast as Miranda Priestly's husband, and Meryl Streep has expressed that she will likely avoid method acting in stilettos for the sequel. Anne Hathaway was photographed filming as her character, wearing a vibrant, color-block linen maxi dress by luxury designer Gabriela Hearst, on July 21, 2025.
Rachel King, a news writer at Town & Country, lives in New York with her wife, their daughter, and a precocious labradoodle. Her work covering travel and lifestyle has appeared in Forbes, Observer, Robb Report, Cruise Critic, and Cool Hunting, among others. Rachel can be followed on Instagram at [her Instagram handle].
Disney first announced the development of the film last year. The media landscape has changed since the release of the book's sequel "Revenge Wears Prada: The Devil Returns," which could influence the movie's plot.
