It’s happening. The Devil Wears Prada 2 is officially in production—19 years after the original film became a pop culture touchstone and queer favorite. Yesterday, Century Studios dropped the first teaser, featuring two devil-heeled pumps and a series of iconic lines from the 2006 classic. For years, fans have quipped, “Please, by all means, move at a glacial pace. You know how that thrills me,” waiting for any word on a sequel.
Now, their patience is finally being rewarded. According to The Guardian, Meryl Streep will return as the icy fashion queen Miranda Priestly, alongside Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci. Kenneth Branagh joins the cast as Miranda’s husband. The original director, David Frankel, is back at the helm, with a planned release set for May 2026. So what’s the plot this time? Priestley now faces the collapse of the print magazine world and must reckon with the digital age. In a twist of fate, she’s forced to reconnect with her once-loyal assistant Emily, now head of a luxury brand with major advertising clout.
The first film remains a cult classic, especially within queer circles, thanks to its razor-sharp wit, high fashion, and campy brilliance. It even inspired a stage musical that premiered in London in 2024.
Fans are already bracing for high drama, unforgettable fashion, and maybe a few life lessons about power and self-worth. Because let’s face it—everybody wants this. That’s all.
