Emily Blunt has officially confirmed that filming for The Devil Wears Prada 2 begins this July. She’ll return as Emily, now a powerful executive. The sequel promises a fierce fashion-world face-off with Meryl Streep’s Miranda Priestly, and fans couldn’t be more excited.
The Wait Is Over
It’s been nearly 20 years since The Devil Wears Prada first hit theaters and instantly became a pop culture classic. Now, fans can finally celebrate, Emily Blunt has confirmed that the long-awaited sequel will begin filming in July 2025.
While attending a recent charity event, Blunt shared the big update and revealed that the film is set to release in theaters on May 1, 2026. That’s right, Runway is back in business.
Emily’s Character Has Levelled Up
In the first movie, Emily played a hard-working assistant at a top fashion magazine, trying to impress her strict boss, Miranda Priestly. In the sequel, things are very different. Emily is now a top executive at a big fashion company. She has real power and control over the company’s ad budget, something Miranda needs.
It’s a role reversal that’s bound to spark sparks. Once just a junior staffer trying to survive Miranda’s icy glare, Emily is now in a position of power and may finally get the upper hand.
The Rivalry Reignites
Blunt couldn’t help but joke about the tension between her character and Miranda. While she hasn’t seen the full script yet, she teased that the “beef” between them is definitely back.
And honestly, that’s what fans want to see. The chemistry between Emily and Meryl was unforgettable in the first movie, and it looks like their rivalry is about to heat up again, this time with much higher stakes.
Will Other Favorites Return?
The original director, writer, and producer are all returning for the sequel. While Anne Hathaway and Stanley Tucci haven’t been officially confirmed yet, fans are hopeful they’ll also return to complete the iconic cast.
The story is expected to reflect the changing media landscape, with Emily’s corporate power clashing against Miranda’s old-school magazine empire.
What’s Next?
Filming kicks off this July, with a full release set for May 2026. With Emily stepping into her power and Miranda facing new challenges, the stage is set for a fashion-filled showdown that fans of the original will love.
