The Devil Wears Prada 2: Fans DIVIDED over the fate of Meryl Streep's character Miranda Priestly
The premise and release date for The Devil Wears Prada 2 has been revealed, and fans are divided over the plot line involving Meryl Streep 's ice queen Miranda Priestly. The upcoming sequel will follow Streep's iconic character as she navigates the challenges of the declining print magazine industry. She will also be facing off against Blunt's character, now a high-powered executive for a luxury group with advertising dollars that Priestly desperately needs, per Variety. This comes after news broke last year that a sequel to the 2006 comedy drama that originally starred Streep, 75, Anne Hathaway, 42, and Emily Blunt, 42, was greenlit at Disney. Last year, the three actresses reunited onstage at the 30th Screen Actors Guild Awards in February 2024 for a skit based on their blockbuster hit movie. Only Streep and Blunt are confirmed to be returning for the follow-up film, which is set to hit theaters on May 1, 2026. With the storyline and release date finally unveiled, fans are sharing their mixed reactions. Last July, it was reported that Streep would be returning alongside Emily Blunt, but no other cast members have been officially confirmed yet. Stanley Tucci, who starred in the original movie, also mentioned the forthcoming sequel but did not disclose whether or not he would be reprising his role. 'I know they're working on it. If it happens, I would be so happy, but I cannot give you any information. Otherwise, I'll go to the actor's prison or something,' he told Variety in January. '[The original] was one of the best experiences ever,' he added. About the movie, which comes two decades after the first, many fans shared their excitement as they praised the 'realistic' plot line. However, others slammed the idea of making another movie to follow up the beloved movie as they criticized lazy sequels. The Devil Wears Prada, the original 2006 movie, was based on Lauren Weisberger's 2003 novel about a young journalist's nightmarish experience working at a fashion magazine. Weisberger previously worked as a personal assistant for American Vogue editor Anna Wintour, though she never said that Priestly is at all based on her former boss. However, she did clarify her book is partially fictional as well as partially based on real-life events of her and her friends at their first jobs. Streep starred as Miranda Priestly, the icy editor-in-chief of the fictional Runway magazine. Hathaway played Andrea Sachs, a young woman freshly out of journalism school, who lands the job that 'a million girls would kill for' as Priestly's assistant. There, she faces the challenge of working for her hard-to-please boss who constantly reminds her that she disapproves of her 'no style or sense of fashion.' Blunt is Priestly's first assistant who trains Andy, while Tucci plays Nigel, a longtime fashion editor who helps Andy revamp her closet and find her confidence again. 'Oooh this is going to be good,' one person tweeted. 'Yep. I'm interested for part 2.' 'I actually love this,' one social media user tweeted on X before sharing a suggestion for the forthcoming movie. 'Also, another Miranda origin story would be great.' 'Can't wait to see Miranda back,' another X user shared 'I mean, that's actually a decent premise,' another fan added 'Oooh this is going to be good,' one person tweeted. 'Yep.

'Can't wait to see the cast,' another fan wrote. 'The plot also reflects the harsh present reality. I hope she is a bad*** the same.' Another fan joked that they 'can't wait' to see whether somebody is 'definitely getting fired.' Though many were excited about the plot reveal, there were other fans who were equally upset about a sequel being in the works. Meanwhile, someone else agreed that it is a 'good premise' 'Can't wait to see the cast,' another fan wrote. 'The plot also reflects the harsh present reality.

'NO ONE ASKED FOR THAT! Stop destroying great movies with useless sequels,' another X user wrote. 'We don't need this,' one person said in agreement with the criticism 'You've got to be kidding me,' one person criticized the plot line. 'It's obvious there aren't any more original ideas. Everything is getting a part 2' 'For the love of God, enough with the sequels,' another person wrote as they criticized the forthcoming sequel. 'Especially of films that have become classics' 'I'm tired of Hollywood rebooting everything just 'cause they are risk adverse,' one person tweeted One fan tweeted: 'The sequel will never match the original.

And while nothing else is confirmed, a release date seems to have been locked in. The Devil Wears Prada is eyeing a release on May 1, 2026. But that's not it. There's a delicious little Met Gala connection here, sure to pique every fashion girlie and guy's ears. May 1 next year will be a Friday which puts it right ahead of the first Monday of May — always, ALWAYS reserved for 'fashion's biggest night', the Met Gala! So imagine sauntering into a (presumably packed!) theatre to experience the Devil Wears Prada sequel, and making it through the weekend on that high only to dive head first into Met Monday on your feeds. Safe to say, the first weekend of May is going to be a long weekend, spiritually at least! Going back to first of its kind, The Devil Wears Prada movie is based on Lauren Weisberger's book of the same name.

So while we all wait for bated breath with the Devil Wears Prada sequel to actually make it's way to us (right in time for the gala Met Monday), the OG is available for streaming on OTT.
