The Devil Wears Prada 2 Officially Greenlit By Disney...
Disney confirmed on April 12, 2026, that a sequel to the 2006 hit film The Devil Wears Prada is in development, sparking immediate buzz across social media and entertainment news. The announcement comes exactly 20 years after the original film's release, with Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt reportedly in talks to reprise their iconic roles.
The sequel, tentatively titled The Devil Wears Prada: Runway Revenge, will explore Miranda Priestly's (Streep) battle to maintain her fashion empire in the digital age. Original screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna is returning to pen the script, while Crazy Rich Asians director Jon M. Chu is in negotiations to helm the project.
The news trended nationwide after Disney CEO Bob Iger teased the project during an investor call earlier today. Fans of the cult classic flooded Twitter with reactions, with many expressing excitement over the potential return of Streep's razor-sharp portrayal of Miranda. Others questioned whether a sequel could capture the magic of the original.
Industry analysts note the timing aligns with Disney's strategy to revive beloved franchises amid declining streaming subscriptions. The original film, based on Lauren Weisberger's novel, grossed over $326 million worldwide and became a cultural touchstone for its biting workplace satire.
No release date has been set, but insiders suggest production could begin as early as late 2026. The sequel is expected to address modern fashion industry challenges, including sustainability and social media influence, while retaining the original's sharp wit.
Social media reactions were split, with some users calling it "unnecessary" while others shared memes of Miranda Priestly's iconic "cerulean sweater" monologue. Fashion publications like Vogue and WWD have already begun speculating about potential costume designers for the sequel.
Disney has not confirmed whether original cast members Stanley Tucci or Adrian Grenier will return. The studio plans to release the film theatrically before making it available on Disney+, capitalizing on the built-in fanbase of the original.
