Puck claims that “The Devil Wears Prada” sequel will deal with the current woes of the publishing industry. Miranda is still leading Runway but the magazine is a shell of its former self. In a karmic reversal of fortune, she’s reliant on sponsorship from her former tortured assistant Emily (Blunt), who now leads a luxury marketing brand.

“The Devil Wears Prada” was a success; after all, that title has to pique your interest. During its theatrical run in 2006, it grossed $326 million (about 10 times its budget). It later received two Oscar nominations (Streep for Best Actress and Patricia Field for Best Costume Design). The movie has an enduring legacy too. A stage musical adaptation, starring Vanessa Williams as Miranda, is currently holding preview performances before opening wide this October. In March 2024, Hathaway was asked about a sequel (and said she doubted it would happen).

“The Devil Wears Prada” was a 20th Century Fox film; the studio was acquired by Disney in 2019 and this sequel will be produced there. Given Disney’s voracious attitude to capitalize on any brand it can plus the continuing love for “The Devil Wears Prada,” a sequel makes business sense. 

No release date for “The Devil Wears Prada” sequel has been confirmed at this time.
