Last month, production began on The Devil Wears Prada 2.
Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Stanley Tucci, Emily Blunt, and Tracy Thomas are reprising their roles as Miranda, Andy, Nigel, Emily, and Lily, respectively, and Kenneth Branagh, B.J. Novak, Simone Ashley, Lucy Liu, Justin Thoreaux, and Pauline Chalamet are but a few of the newcomers joining the cast.
The film is slated for a May 1, 2026 release and I, personally, need answers to the following questions and closure on the following story lines:
Where did Andy go after Runway?
The Devil Wears Prada ended with Andy interviewing for a new role at The New York Mirror — which Miranda gave her a glowing* review for — so I can't wait to see what Andy's made of her career. *Miranda said that Andy was her greatest disappointment and also that the EIC would be an idiot not to hire her — when it comes to Miranda, you can't get shinier than that!
What's Miranda up to?
We don't have many details regarding the plot of TDWP 2, so I am curious as to how and why Andy and Miranda's paths come to cross again 20+ years later.
Where do things stand with Nate and Christian?
As of today, neither Adrian Grenier (Nate) nor Simon Baker (Christian) are confirmed to return for the sequel, so what does that mean for Andy and her paramours? Last we saw, Andy left things open with Nate — who got a job in Boston as a sous-chef — after leaving Simon high and dry in Paris, so I'm curious to understand what happened between them!
Follow up for Nate specifically: Has he made any upgrades or modifications to his grilled cheese recipe?
Or is he sticking by his $8 worth of Jarlsberg (adjusted for inflation)?
Did Miranda ever make it up to Nigel after she gave Jacqueline his job?
In TDWP, Nigel was supposed to join forces with fashion designer James Holt (Daniel Sunjata) as his creative director. However, in a ploy to keep her job as editor-in-chief of Runway, Miranda maneuvered things so that Jacqueline would get the job instead of Nigel. That man deserves every flower available in the flower shop!
After Andy left Runway, did she keep in touch with Nigel or Emily?
The film ended with Andy bestowing her Parisian wardrobe to Emily and Emily telling the new assistant that she "has big shoes to fill." Did they remain friends (if that was even what they really were)?
Did anyone develop better work/life balance?
The 2000s were very different from the 2020s — you can be successful at work AND have a semblance of a social life.
Did Andy's friends...become better friends?
They all SUCKED in TDWP — they belittled her job and made her feel bad about wanting to work in fashion, so I hope for Andy's sake that they became better humans...or, I hope she dumped them all and took all her products and freebies with her!
How does Miranda feel about the rise of social media, influencers, and the overall accessibility of fashion?
Let us not forget Miranda's iconic "cerulean" monologue — but those were the old times, when fashion and trends were gatekept and made by those at the top rather than the ubiquitous nature that they are now. Can't wait to see Miranda's reactions to popular TikTok trends.
Did it ever come out that two random girls from NYC got to read Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows before it came out?
Like, if I were them, I would have told EVERYONE that Harry was the last horcrux.
Will there be another iconic fashion montage?
This scene truly altered my brain chemistry.
Last, but not least, DOES ANDY STILL HAVE THE CHANEL BOOTS?
Those would be a family heirloom in my household.
Sadly, none of these will be answered until next year (HOPEFULLY), so, until then, I shall wait with bated breath.
In the meantime, watch the original The Devil Wears Prada on Hulu or Disney+ now.
