Highly Anticipated Sequel to Iconic Fashion Film Moves Forward
It's official: after nearly two decades since 'The Devil Wears Prada' graced cinema screens and became a classic among fashion and movie enthusiasts, the much-awaited sequel is finally on its way. Fans can prepare for a fresh dose of drama, style, and razor-sharp wit as filming for 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' is set to begin this summer.
Emily Blunt Returns to the World of High Fashion
Oscar nominee Emily Blunt recently caused a stir among movie lovers by confirming she will reprise her fan-favorite role as the snarky assistant Emily Charlton. Chatting with Entertainment Tonight, Blunt shared her excitement about the project launching into production next month, though she admitted with a laugh that few plot details have reached even her: "It’s so weird, I haven’t even read a script. I don’t know. I’m just like, ‘Where is she?’ I don’t know." Her candid humor has made anticipation grow for what’s in store.
Cast & Crew: Old Favorites, New Surprises
While no formal casting list has been released, expectation is high that original stars Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep will join Blunt for the sequel, hoping to revive their iconic roles as Andy Sachs and the formidable Miranda Priestly. The creative team of the original film, including screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna and director David Frankel, is returning, promising the same sharp storytelling and cinematic flair that made the first movie a blockbuster.
Plot and Inspirations: What Can Fans Expect?
Though official plot details remain closely guarded, fans speculate the movie could draw inspiration from Lauren Weisberger’s novel 'Revenge Wears Prada: The Devil Returns.' The book takes Andy into the high-stress world of bridal magazine publishing, where she wrestles with her own wedding plans and the lingering shadow of her former boss, Miranda. Whether or not the film follows this storyline, audiences can look forward to a blend of fashion, ambition, and personal discovery.
Production Timeline and Release Date
'Prada 2', produced under the Disney banner, begins shooting soon and is slated for worldwide theatrical release on May 1, 2026. The original film, released two decades ago, left an indelible mark on pop culture. Critics and audiences alike are eager to see if the sequel can match its predecessor’s wit, emotional depth, and iconic status.
Legacy and Hopes for the Sequel
'The Devil Wears Prada' became the gold standard for fashion films and workplace comedies, lauded for its performances and unforgettable quotes. With the dream team reuniting and years of anticipation fueling excitement, Lithuanian cinema and series fans have every reason to get excited for the return to Runway magazine’s glamorous — and perilous — world.
