\n\tA sequel to \u201cThe Devil Wears Prada<\/a>\u201c? Groundbreaking. No, seriously!<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter numerous rumors and murmurings, a sequel to the now beloved \u201cDevil Wears Prada\u201d has finally been confirmed, and it\u2019s safe to say fans are eager to become cogs in Miranda Priestly\u2019s magnificent wheel once again.<\/p>\n

\n\tNearly 20 years after the original\u2019s triumphant release, Anna Wintour has stepped down from Vogue and fashion magazines are no longer the cultural forces they once were. But \u201cThe Devil Wears Prada\u201d has arguably outlasted both, enduring as one of the sharpest comedies of the 21st century, with memorable performances from stars Meryl Streep<\/a> and Anne Hathaway.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the words of co-star Stanley Tucci<\/a>, the film\u2019s longevity is down to the fact that it\u2019s \u201ca fucking brilliant movie.\u201d So the sequel will have a lot to live up to. But at least, now that it has actually started production, news about the follow-up is no longer moving at a glacial pace.<\/p>\n

\n\tHere\u2019s what we know so far:<\/p>\n

\t\tWho will be returning?<\/strong>\t<\/p>\n

\n\tKey cast members Meryl Streep as Priestly, Anne Hathaway as Andy Sachs, Emily Blunt as Emily Charlton and Stanley Tucci as Nigel Kipling are officially set to return for \u201cThe Devil Wears Prada 2<\/a>.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tIn addition to the original stars, Kenneth Branagh has been cast as the husband of Streep\u2019s character.<\/p>\n

\n\tHowever, Andy\u2019s boyfriend Nate Cooper, played by Adrian Grenier, will not be back<\/a>. That makes sense, since after Nate was unsupportive of Andy\u2019s career in the original, the couple seemed to have broken up \u2014 or did they?<\/p>\n

\t\tWhen will the sequel be released?<\/strong>\t<\/p>\n

\n\tIt will hit theaters on May 1, 2026. The first week in May is typically the release date for the first big movie of summer, a four-quadrant blockbuster-hopeful involving spandex costumes and comicbook characters. But in 2026, the spandex will be found in the shapewear of fashion magazine staffers and the superhero will be none other than Meryl Streep \u2014 aka Miranda Priestly herself.<\/p>\n

\t\tWhat\u2019s the story for the sequel?<\/strong>\t<\/p>\n

\n\tThe next chapter will mirror what\u2019s actually happening in publishing, as it reportedly follows Priestly as she navigates her career amid the decline of traditional magazine publishing. The imperious editor will face off against Blunt\u2019s character, now a high-powered executive for a luxury group with advertising dollars that Priestly desperately needs.<\/p>\n

\n\tThough Hathaway is returning, her character quit her job at Runway magazine at the end of the first film and went to work at a newspaper, so it\u2019s not known how she\u2019ll make her return. <\/p>\n

\t\tWho\u2019s on the creative team?<\/strong>\t<\/p>\n

\n\tDavid Frankel, director of the original film and and Aline Brosh McKenna, who wrote the original film, are returning for the sequel. Producer Karen Rosenfelt also returns.<\/p>\n

\t\tWhat kind of fashion cameos might we see?<\/strong>\t<\/p>\n

\n\tThe 2006 original had plenty of insider fashion business references, and cameos from models including Gisele Bundchen, Heidi Klum and Bridget Hall added to the authenticity. Who might join the cast this time around? It\u2019s certainly possibility that the likes of Kendall Jenner or Bella Hadid might be persuaded, but this time around, notable influencers could also help update the storyline \u2014 think Aimee Song or Camila Coelho.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A sequel to \u201cThe Devil Wears Prada\u201c?
