Okay, so, real talk: it’s May 2026, and we’re *still* talking about ‘The Devil Wears Prada’. Seriously, this movie lives rent-free in our heads. Every time someone mentions a sequel, the internet basically explodes. But is it actually happening? And if it is, when can we finally see Miranda Priestly back on our screens? We’ve gathered all the tea, the whispers, and our desperate hopes for TDWP2!
1. The Original Is Still Peak Culture — 20 Years Later!
Look, ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ dropped in 2006, and it’s honestly more relevant than ever. The fashion, the quotable lines, the sheer *iconic* performances — it’s a comfort watch for millions. It pulled in $326.7 million worldwide on a $41 million budget and has an amazing 75% on Rotten Tomatoes. We’re living for the original, but we NEED more. It’s just a fact.
2. The Book Sequel Exists! Why No Movie Yet?!

Lauren Weisberger, the genius behind it all, actually wrote a sequel novel, ‘Revenge Wears Prada: The Devil Returns,’ back in 2013! It picks up eight years later with Andy running her own bridal magazine. So the source material is *right there*. We’re not making this up! Why hasn’t Hollywood snatched this up already? We need answers!
3. Meryl Streep As Miranda Priestly — A Masterclass We Need To Revisit!
Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, could play Miranda Priestly like Meryl Streep. She literally *is* Miranda. Her performance was so chillingly perfect, earning her an Oscar nomination. We *need* to see what Miranda is doing in 2026. Is she still at Runway? Has she launched her own metaverse fashion empire? The possibilities are endless, and we’re desperate to find out.
4. Anne Hathaway Has Been Open To It (But Is Busy!)
Our queen Anne Hathaway, who played Andy Sachs, has actually said she’d be down for a sequel! In a 2022 interview, she mentioned it’d be fun to see where Andy is. BUT, she’s also, you know, a major Oscar-winning superstar with a packed schedule. Getting her, Meryl, and Emily Blunt all in one room? That’s the real challenge, no cap.
5. Emily Blunt’s Emily Charlton Deserves Her Own Spin-Off, TBH.
Emily Blunt’s portrayal of the perpetually stressed, hilariously snarky first assistant Emily Charlton was EVERYTHING. Honestly, she stole every scene she was in. We need to see Emily thriving, maybe as a top publicist, or even Miranda’s right-hand woman. She’s a total mood, and her comeback would be iconic.
6. The Fashion! Oh My God, The Fashion!
Can we talk about the clothes?! Patricia Field’s costume design for the original was legendary. Imagine what a TDWP2 would look like in 2026! We’re talking viral TikTok fashion trends, sustainable couture, maybe even AI-designed outfits. The style evolution alone would be worth the ticket price. We’re living for the potential runway moments.
7. Nate Was The *Actual* Villain, And We Need Andy To Prove Him Wrong.
Okay, unpopular opinion, but Nate (Adrian Grenier) was kind of a jerk, right? Complaining about Andy’s job, her success, her life? Ugh. If there’s a sequel, we need Andy to be absolutely crushing it, professionally and personally, without a whiff of Nate. Let her glow up be so blinding he can’t even look. Total petty goals, but we stan.
8. The Director, David Frankel, Is Still Active!
David Frankel, who directed the original, is still making movies! He most recently directed ‘Jerry & Marge Go Large’ (2022) for Paramount+. So he’s out there, he knows the story, he knows the cast. Bringing him back would give the sequel that authentic TDWP magic. It’s not like we’d need to find someone new to understand the vibe.
9. Streaming Wars Make A Sequel More Likely Than Ever.
In 2026, every streaming service is looking for exclusive, high-profile content with built-in fanbases. A TDWP2 would be a *massive* draw. Imagine the bidding war! Disney+ (since it’s 20th Century Fox), Hulu, Max, Netflix… someone needs to write a blank check for this, stat. It’s a no-brainer marketing win.
10. The Script Is The Hold-Up, Reportedly.
According to various reports and interviews from the cast over the years, the biggest hurdle isn’t the actors’ willingness, but finding the *right* script. Nobody wants to tarnish the original’s legacy with a weak sequel. We appreciate the dedication to quality, but come on, writers! We’re waiting! Give us the magic!
11. What Would Miranda Priestly Be Doing On Social Media In 2026?
This is the real question. Would Miranda have an Instagram? A TikTok? Would she be subtly influencing trends from behind the scenes, or would she refuse to acknowledge the digital age entirely? The thought of her navigating influencers and viral content is honestly hilarious and terrifying. We need to see it play out!
12. Our Dream Streaming Release Date Estimate: Late 2027/Early 2028.
Okay, so if (and it’s a HUGE if!) a script suddenly materialized *today* (May 2026), and the stars aligned, and production started ASAP… we’re looking at a late 2027 or early 2028 streaming release. That’s a super optimistic guess, but hey, a girl can dream, right? We’re manifesting this, hard.
13. The Entire Original Cast Returning? We’d Melt.
Beyond the big three, imagine Stanley Tucci as Nigel, still giving amazing advice, or Simon Baker as Christian Thompson, maybe trying to woo Andy again. The thought of the whole gang back together, even for cameos, is just… *chef’s kiss*. It would be a reunion for the ages, and we are so ready.
14. The Cultural Impact Would Be HUGE. Just Think Of The Memes!
A TDWP2 would break the internet. The memes, the reaction videos, the fashion critiques, the fan theories – it would dominate pop culture for months. It’s not just a movie; it’s an event. And honestly, we’re all starved for that kind of collective cultural moment. Let’s make it happen, Hollywood!
