Fans finally have a reason to rejoice—The Devil Wears Prada is making a comeback. The long-awaited sequel to the 2006 cult classic starring Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, and Emily Blunt is officially slated to hit theatres on May 1, 2026. After nearly two decades of speculation, the iconic trio is set to reunite in what promises to be a fierce return to the high-stakes world of haute couture and cutthroat ambition.
The original film, loosely inspired by Vogue editor Anna Wintour, wasn’t always easy to bring to the screen. Screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna revealed that Wintour’s influence created major hurdles. “I had enormous trouble finding anyone in the fashion world who'd talk to me,” she told Entertainment Weekly.
“People were afraid of Anna and Vogue, not wanting to be blackballed.” One anonymous source finally helped, advising McKenna, “The people in this movie are too nice.” After that, the script took a sharper, more realistic tone—meaner, busier, and far more true to the fashion industry’s pace.
Director David Frankel faced location challenges too. “The Met Ball meant the Metropolitan Museum wanted nothing to do with us,” he recalled. Even Bryant Park, then home to New York Fashion Week, was off-limits. Eventually, Miranda Priestly’s luxe home was filmed in a friend’s Upper East Side townhouse.
Even Meryl Streep had her Miranda moment. Initially offered what she felt was an underwhelming salary, Streep held her ground. “It wasn’t reflective of my value,” she said. Her demand? A higher paycheck—and two key scenes that gave Miranda emotional complexity, including the iconic cerulean monologue and a vulnerable hotel-room moment.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 is shaping up to be as stylish as its predecessor and Miranda Priestly set to be back on screens May 2026.
