In a cinematic landscape where sequels often feel like a dime a dozen, the announcement of The Devil Wears Prada 2 is causing quite the stir. Set to begin filming on November 30th, this long-awaited follow-up aims to recapture the magic of its predecessor, with director David Frankel back at the helm and the original star-studded cast ready to reprise their iconic roles.
For fans of the 2006 cult classic, the return of Meryl Streep as the indomitable Miranda Priestly is nothing short of thrilling. Streep’s portrayal of the cool and calculating fashion magazine editor has become a cultural touchstone, quoted and referenced in everything from memes to office banter. Joining her are Anne Hathaway (Andy Sachs), Emily Blunt (Emily Charlton), and Stanley Tucci (Nigel Kipling), who all helped bring this fashion world dramedy to life.

The sequel’s plot promises to tackle new challenges, reflecting the changing landscape of the magazine industry. Miranda Priestly will find herself at a crossroads as traditional print media faces decline, while her former assistant, Emily Charlton, emerges as a formidable executive in her own right. It’s a storyline that could capture the zeitgeist of the digital age, echoing the same energy and dynamics that made the original film a global sensation.
Speaking with PEOPLE, Tucci expressed his tentative excitement about returning to the role of Nigel Kipling, though he remains in the dark about the precise details of the sequel. “If it does happen, I can only say that I’ll be happy,” Tucci noted, offering a glimpse of the camaraderie that still exists among the cast.
While no official release date has been announced, anticipation is already building. The original Devil Wears Prada has long been celebrated for its sharp wit and glossy allure, resonating with audiences who saw themselves—and their bosses—in its exaggerated yet relatable depiction of workplace politics.
Whether this sequel will deliver the same blend of charm and biting humor remains to be seen. However, with the original gang back together and a storyline ripe with potential, fans of the franchise have good reason to dust off their high heels and prepare for another stylish romp through the cutthroat world of fashion journalism.
Stay tuned because Miranda Priestly isn’t done just yet.
