Twenty years after The Devil Wears Prada became a cultural hit, the sequel is already creating the same buzz. Only the sequel seems to be bigger and more chaotic. The shoot quickly turned into a spectacle as fans gathered around the sets to get glimpses of the preparation.
Opening up about the experiences on set while making this second sintallment to the hit 2006 film, she said, “I was aware that I was falling, I was aware that I was being photographed.” She also recalled a moment when her heel broke mid-scene and she fell down a few steps. She got back up immediately, smiling and reassuring everyone she was okay but later admitted her first thought was, “Oh no. I’m news.”
Reflecting on returning to the film after two decades, Meryl Streep shared just how overwhelming the experience was this time around. She revealed, “Even though we were aware of the impact of the first film two decades ago, I think none of us were prepared for the ambush of both goodwill and avid attention that engulfed us.” Streep further added, “We needed police barriers and crowd control. Buses of fans turned up, and paparazzi swarmed and in one case kept jumping in front of the camera and the shot and got in a kerfuffle with crew! Annie kept her cool, but I was unnerved.”
The film reunites the original main cast with director David Frankel and writer Aline Brosh McKenna. It introduces an all-new runway of characters, who will be played by actors like Kenneth Branagh, Simone Ashley, Justin Theroux, Lucy Liu, Patrick Brammall, Caleb Hearon, Helen J. Shen, Pauline Chalamet, BJ Novak and Conrad Ricamora. Tracie Thoms and Tibor Feldman also reprise their roles as Lily and Irv from the first film.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 is produced by Wendy Finerman and executive produced by Michael Bederman, Karen Rosenfelt and Aline Brosh McKenna. The film debuts exclusively in theatres in India on May 1, 2026.
