Now that we’re in some way midway by way of 2025, I’m already waiting for upcoming 2026 motion pictures, and one launch I’m particularly excited for is the sequel to The Satan Wears Prada. I’ve significantly rewatched the film concerning the cutthroat world of trend publishing so many instances throughout the previous 20 years, and it solely will get extra traditional with each viewing. Whereas I’ll admit I used to be initially uncertain about there being a follow-up to the fabulous 2006 film starring Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway, the extra I study it, the extra I’m wanting ahead to it.
The Satan Wears Prada 2 has been in manufacturing because the finish of June (per twentieth Century Studios’ Instagram), and I need to speak about all of the casting bulletins and my ideas about what the film might really be about. If you happen to’re not as hyped as I’m about this sequel by the tip of this text, by all means, transfer at a glacial tempo…
I am So Completely happy So Many Of The Authentic Satan Wears Prada Solid Are Returning
The very first thing about The Satan Wears Prada 2 film I wanted to learn about earlier than formally getting on board was figuring out that the primary solid would return, and that’s in actual fact occurring. Per Selection, we all know that after twenty years, the unique solid will all reunite, and I’m bought. Meryl Streep will as soon as once more play Miranda Priestly, who was a robust editor-in-chief of the fictional trend journal Runway within the first film. Anne Hathaway’s Andy Sachs may also be again after initially enjoying a brand new post-grad journalist who’s employed as Miranda’s private assistant.
That’s not all, both. Emily Blunt, who performed Miranda’s senior assistant Emily Charlton, earlier than Blunt was the massive Hollywood star that she is now, might be again as properly. Stanley Tucci’s function of Runway’s artwork director Nigel Kipling can also be set for the sequel, together with some smaller authentic actors coming again as properly. Andy’s greatest pal Lily will even be again and be performed as soon as once more by Tracie Thoms, for instance!
It’s not solely the unique staff in entrance of the digicam for the beloved comedy both. The unique director of the primary film, David Frankel (who’s additionally helmed motion pictures since like Marley & Me and Jerry & Marge Go Giant), is directing from a script by Aline Brosh McKenna, the identical author who penned the very quotable 2006 film, too. This actually doesn’t occur rather a lot when sequels occur, however I believe it’s a very good signal for the film itself.
The New Solid Members Are Thrilling Additions As Properly
What has me much more intrigued concerning the film as properly is the expertise that has been lined as much as play new characters. For one, the enduring Lucy Liu has been solid to star within the film, and I can not cease serious about how completely she’ll slot in with the established actors. As with all the newly introduced actors, we don’t know who they are going to be enjoying, however Liu seems like a no brainer!
Two different massive names I’m wanting ahead to are Justin Theroux and B.J. Novak. I just lately thought Theroux was hilarious in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, so I believe he might steal the present once more in The Satan Wears Prada 2. It’s additionally very good to have The Workplace’s Novak on board, and contemplating the expertise of the actor, who was additionally a author on the sitcom, I believe his office comedy experience will solely make this film higher. Oh, and Kenneth Branagh will apparently play Miranda’s husband, per Deadline, which can also be stellar casting.
Final week, it was additionally introduced that Bridgerton’s Simone Ashley has additionally been solid. Ashley’s Kate Sharma is actually one half of my favourite couple in Bridgerton, alongside Jonathan Bailey, so I’m so blissful she’s bought one other high-profile function to her identify. Some lesser-known actors who’re additionally going to be within the film are Paulin Chalamet (sure, she’s the sister of Timothée Chalamet), Helen J. Shen, who’s been getting buzz currently for starring in Possibly Completely happy Ending on Broadway, and How To Die Alone’s Conrad Ricamora. I’m particularly wanting ahead to Caleb Hearon, who was just lately in HBO’s Sweethearts combine with the solid.
And, I Have Theories About What The Satan Wears Prada 2 May Be About
Whereas I haven’t learn the Satan Wears Prada books, I regarded into it, and Lauren Weisberger printed a direct sequel to her first novel in 2013 referred to as Revenge Wears Prada: The Satan Returns, and I’ve a sense the film’s plotline will lean rather a lot on what occurs in it. Within the novel, Andy and Emily have gone from being enemies to enterprise companions who’ve began a profitable bridal journal referred to as The Plunge. Oh, and Andy is now not together with her controversial boyfriend and has met the love of her life and is planning to marry him. He’s a person named Max Harrison, who’s a part of a well-off media household. However Andy receives a letter that threatens her dreamy future.
Now, Revenge Wears Prada has some fairly middling critiques on Goodreads, which notably name out the e book for barely that includes Miranda, so I don’t see the filmmakers taking this storyline as gospel, however it does really feel like the suitable place to begin for a sequel.
I think about the sequel will happen round fifteen to twenty years after the occasions of the primary film, after Andy has stop her job, she and Emily are extra pleasant to one another, and Miranda goes chilly on Andy. I believe it might be fascinating if Andy and Emily find yourself beginning some sort of media conflict with Miranda that would contain two publications. It could be the identical outdated for Miranda and her poisonous work setting, competing with Andy and Emily’s personal firm. Wouldn’t that be good?
I’ll be following the manufacturing of The Satan Wears Prada 2 intently, however in the intervening time, you possibly can positively stay up for its launch date on Could 1, 2026.
