After 20 years, Miranda Priestley is back in the long-anticipated sequel to The Devil Wears Prada. Fans have been looking forward to seeing what they have in store for the follow-up and where the characters have been two decades after the events of the first film.
Let's explore everything we know so far about The Devil Wears Prada 2 and what we should expect when it arrives in theaters.
What is the Plot of The Devil Wears Prada 2?
The Devil Wears Prada 2 will return to the fashionable streets of New York City and the sleek offices of Runway Magazine, set 20 years after the events of the first film.
It follows Miranda Priestly's struggle against Emily Charlton, her former assistant turned rival executive, as they compete for advertising revenue amidst declining print media while Miranda nears retirement.
While the other plot details are still under wraps, Emily Blunt opened up to Variety last year about the overwhelming process of filming the sequel due to the massive hype and anticipation for its release.
"Overwhelming — in a good way. I’ve never experienced a movie being shot with this much attention. We’re trying to keep the mystique — changing in bathrooms to avoid being seen in costume — but there are fans everywhere. Playing Emily again feels like slipping into a deranged pair of old slippers. She’s insane, and I love her," she said.
David Frankel, who helmed the first film, is back to direct the sequel, as well as screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna.
Who is Starring in The Devil Wears Prada 2?
Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, Stanley Tucci, Tracie Thoms, and Tibor Feldman are reprising their roles from the first film.
Joining the sequel are new cast members in the franchise, such as Kenneth Branagh, Simone Ashley, Justin Theroux, Lucy Liu, Patrick Brammall, Caleb Hearon, Helen J. Shen, Pauline Chalamet, B.J. Novak, Rachel Bloom, and Conrad Ricamora.
Sydney Sweeney, Lady Gaga, and Donatella Versace are reportedly set to make cameo appearances as themselves.
