Emily Blunt has confirmed what fans have been waiting years to hear: The Devil Wears Prada sequel is happening—and filming starts in July.
In a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, the 42-year-old actress revealed that production for the long-awaited sequel is finally underway. Emily Blunt, who played the sharp-tongued Emily Charlton in the original 2006 hit, will reunite with co-stars Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway. The film is expected to release on May 1, 2026.
So what does this mean for the rest of us? Well, if you’ve ever dramatically tossed your phone into a bag and whispered “that’s all,” this is your moment. The fashion world is dusting off its stilettos—and yes, Runway magazine is back in business.
Emily Blunt Returns as Emily Charlton
While Blunt hasn’t read the script yet, she admitted she’s just as curious as the fans about where her character has landed after all these years. “I haven’t even read a script, I don’t know… I’m just like, where is she?” she said, laughing.
But she did tease that Emily Charlton might finally be on top—and no longer just fetching coffee. According to The Wrap, early plot details suggest a major role reversal. Miranda Priestly, now facing the collapse of magazine publishing, turns to her once-snarky assistant, Emily, who’s now a top executive at a luxury fashion house, for help with ad revenue.
We’d call that fashion karma.

The Fashion Sequel We Didn’t Know We Needed (But Definitely Do)
It’s been nearly two decades since The Devil Wears Prada first hit theaters and became a pop culture staple. The original film was based on the bestselling novel by Lauren Weisberger and became a global box office success.
With the same powerhouse cast and a storyline that reflects the changing media world, the sequel promises drama, reinvention, and maybe even a little redemption. Emily Blunt hinted, “Let’s hope we remedy [the beef between Emily and Miranda]… Can you tell I can’t tell you anything?”
That’s Hollywood-speak for: “It’s going to be juicy.”
Why This Matters (Yes, Even If You Don’t Wear Heels)
This isn’t just a nostalgia cash-in. It’s about how the fashion industry—and media—has changed. It’s about power shifts, revenge glow-ups, and maybe finally watching Emily Charlton get the respect (and wardrobe budget) she deserves.
With filming starting next month, fans can expect more updates—and probably a few viral outfits—very soon.
