Devil Wears Prada Sequel Confirmed After 20 Years...
Disney has officially greenlit a sequel to The Devil Wears Prada, 20 years after the original film became a cultural phenomenon. The announcement, made on April 11, 2026, confirms Meryl Streep and Emily Blunt will reprise their iconic roles as Miranda Priestly and Emily Charlton.
The news comes as fans celebrate the film's 20th anniversary, sparking nostalgia and renewed interest in the fashion-centric comedy. Social media erupted with reactions, with many speculating whether Anne Hathaway's Andy Sachs will return. No release date has been set, but production is expected to begin later this year.
The Devil Wears Prada (2006) grossed over $326 million worldwide and remains a staple in pop culture. The sequel's confirmation follows years of rumors and aligns with Disney's strategy of reviving beloved franchises. Industry analysts predict strong box office performance given the original's enduring appeal.
Fashion insiders are already buzzing about potential plotlines, with some hoping for a modern take on the industry's evolution. The original film, based on Lauren Weisberger's novel, offered a sharp critique of high-fashion workplaces, a theme that could resonate even more in today's gig economy.
Streep, who earned an Oscar nomination for her role, has not commented publicly. Blunt, however, hinted at the project during a recent interview, calling it "long overdue." The sequel will reportedly explore Miranda's legacy and Emily's rise in the fashion world.
With streaming platforms hungry for recognizable IP, the project could also debut on Disney+. Either way, fans of the original won't have to wait much longer for a return to Runway magazine's cutthroat halls.
