When was The Devil Wears Prada 2 confirmed?
News broke in July 2024 that a sequel to The Devil Wears Prada was in the early stages of development at Disney.
The news of the sequel comes after a 2022 interview with Anne Hathaway where she told The View that she didn’t think it would be possible.
“I don’t know if there can be [a sequel],” she said. “I just think that movie was in a different era. Now everything’s gone so digital and that movie is centred around the concept of producing a physical thing and it’s just, it’s just very different.”
The original The Devil Wears Prada film was a huge success, both at the box office and on the awards circuit. The movie grossed US$326.7 million worldwide, as well as earned leading actress Meryl Streep, AKA Miranda Priestly, a Golden Globe Award and an Academy Award nomination.
The film is based on a 2003 novel of the same name by Lauren Weisberger, and follows Andy Sachs, a young woman who moves to New York City to become a writer, but instead finds herself as an assistant to the “tyrannical editor-in-chief of a major fashion magazine”, Runway.
The Devil Wears Prada became a cult classic, and in the years following its release, fans have wondered and speculated about a potential sequel.
Emily Blunt spoke with Entertainment Tonight about the rivalry between her character and Meryl Streep’s character in the film. “Why are Meryl and I so mean to each other in every movie we do?,” she said. “We always have beef with each other. I don’t know what it is. Let’s hope we remedy it. I’m not sure.”
The three main actresses, Meryl, Anne and Emily, have also kept the film in the public eye, even appearing on stage at the 2024 SAG Awards, where they performed a short skit in reference to their characters.
