Gird your loins! A year after it was announced, The Devil Wears Prada 2 is finally going into production this summer.
While playing coy about details around the upcoming sequel to the 2006 screen adaptation of Lauren Weisberger’s novel, Emily Blunt revealed that the followup goes into production next month, when she’ll reprise her role as Emily Charlton.
“Am I allowed to say that?” Blunt asked her rep with a laugh before sharing the news with Entertainment Tonightpreviously joking: “Can you tell I’m skirting the issue? Can you tell I can’t tell you anything?”
With the first film’s screenwriter Aline Bros McKenna returning to pen the sequel and OG director David Frankel expected to return as well, Blunt said of what her character’s up to, “It’s so weird, I haven’t even read a script. I don’t know. I’m just like, ‘Where is she?’ I don’t know.”
After The Devil Wears Prada premiered in theaters 20 years ago this month, starring Anne Hathaway as recent college graduate Andy Sachs, who takes a job at fashion magazine Runway as the assistant to the diabolical Miranda Priestley (Meryl Streep). “In a blink, it’s gone by,” said Blunt.

The sequel, which was revealed to be in development last July, will premiere in theaters on May 1, 2026. While no casting has been confirmed, Blunt is expected to reunite with Streep and Hathaway.
Although plot details have not yet been shared, Weisberger’s 2013 book sequel Revenge Wears Prada: The Devil Returns follows Andy as the editor for a new bridal magazine while planning her own wedding and living in fear of her inevitable reunion with Miranda Priestley.
