Los Angeles, July 1

The sequel to the iconic Hollywood film ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ has gone into production. Hollywood stars Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci are officially set to return with their parts in the upcoming sequel.

Kenneth Branagh will also join the cast as the husband of Miranda Presley (Streep), the demanding editor-in-chief of Runway magazine, reports ‘Variety’.

Disney’s 20th Century Studios confirmed the news on Instagram, sharing only a teaser of two devilish red pumps.

As per ‘Variety’, based on Lauren Weisberger’s 2004 novel, ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ follows aspiring journalist Andy Sachs (Hathaway) who is hired at a glossy fashion magazine (it’s a job a million girls “would kill” to get!) but finds herself at the mercy of her demanding editor-in-chief.

The dishy book is a roman a clef,Weisberger briefly worked as Anna Wintour’s assistant at Vogue. In especially timely news, Wintour announced last week her plans to down as American Vogue’s editor-in-chief after 37 years.

Plot details for the sequel haven’t been confirmed, but the storyline reportedly follows Miranda Priestly as she navigates her career amid the decline of traditional magazine publishing. She faces off against Blunt’s character, her one-time assistant who is now a high-powered executive for a luxury group with advertising dollars that Priestly desperately needs.

It’s not clear how Hathway’s Andy Sachs will factor into the story; at the end of the first film, she quits Runway and takes a job at a newspaper. David Frankel and Aline Brosh McKenna, who directed and wrote the original film, are returning for the sequel.

‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ is set to arrive in cinemas worldwide on May 1, 2026.

Not sure why they're making a sequel after 20 years. Feels like a cash grab. The original was perfect as it was - some stories should remain standalone.

As someone working in Indian fashion media, I'm curious how they'll portray the magazine industry's digital transformation. Hope they don't make it too dramatic like Bollywood does with our profession 😅

Meryl Streep is a legend! But I wonder if this sequel will resonate with younger Indian audiences who mostly consume content on OTT platforms now. Theatrical releases need strong hooks.

The first movie inspired so many Indian girls to pursue careers in media! Hope the sequel shows more diverse career paths beyond just fashion magazines. Our generation has so many options now 💪

Interesting timing with Anna Wintour stepping down. Wonder if they'll incorporate real-life events into the plot. Hollywood does this better than Bollywood when it comes to industry stories.

The original had such iconic dialogues! "That's all" became part of office culture everywhere, including India. Hope the sequel gives us new quotable moments 🤞
