Fans of high fashion and sharp wit, get ready! The Devil Wears Prada 2 filming is slated to kick off in July 2025, bringing iconic characters back to life in the stunning settings of New York and Italy. I’m thrilled to share that Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci will reprise their roles from the 2006 classic. At NetFilming, we’re buzzing with excitement about this sequel, which promises to blend nostalgia with fresh drama. Here’s everything we know so far about this highly anticipated production.
A Star-Studded Cast Returns
The original Devil Wears Prada won hearts with its unforgettable performances, and the sequel is bringing back the dream team. Meryl Streep returns as Miranda Priestly, the formidable editor-in-chief whose icy demeanor hides a complex character.
Anne Hathaway is back as Andrea “Andy” Sachs, the ambitious journalist who once navigated Miranda’s world. Emily Blunt reprises her role as Emily Charlton, now a powerhouse in her own right, while Stanley Tucci returns as Nigel Kipling, the loyal style guru.
The chemistry of this quartet was a highlight of the first movie, and I can’t wait to see how this dynamic changes. In the sequel, Miranda faces challenges in the struggling magazine industry and clashes with Emily, who has achieved a prominent position at a luxury company. It’s unclear how Andy and Nigel factor into this high-stakes face-off, but it’ll surely be riveting.
Filming in Iconic Locations
The beating heart of fashion — New York City — will once again be a vibrant backdrop for The Devil Wears Prada 2 shooting. From sleek Manhattan offices to busy streets, the energy of the city will play up the drama of the story. Recently, New York welcomed the productions of A Quiet Place: Day One and It Ends with Us, demonstrating its endless charm for filmmakers.
Here comes Italy, with its rich culture and stunning scenery, to inject some glamour. Be it Rome’s beautiful antiquity or Milan’s fashion-forward vibe, these locations will add to the visual quality of the sequel. Italy will also host Mel Gibson’s The Resurrection of the Christ and Terry Gilliam’s The Carnival at the End of Days in 2025, too, making it a hotbed of cinema.
Behind the Scenes: A Trusted Creative Team
Directing the sequel is David Frankel, who helmed the original film. His knack for balancing humor and heart made the first movie a classic, and I’m confident he’ll deliver again. Frankel’s past projects, like the touching Marley & Me and the star-packed Collateral Beauty, show his versatility. The script comes from Aline Brosh McKenna, who penned the first film’s sharp dialogue and memorable moments. Her return ensures the sequel will stay true to its roots while exploring new themes.
What excites me most is how this team will tackle the modern media landscape. The original film poked fun at print magazines; now, with digital platforms dominating, the story feels timely. Will Miranda adapt to change, or will her old-school ways clash with new realities? It’s a question that keeps me hooked.
Spotlight on the Cast’s Recent Work
Meryl Streep, a legend in every sense, continues to dazzle. Her recent role as President Janie Orlean in Don’t Look Up was both hilarious and chilling, while her turn as Loretta Durkin in Only Murders in the Building showed her comedic flair. Streep’s ability to steal scenes makes her return as Miranda a must-watch.
Emily Blunt has been unstoppable, starring in hits like Oppenheimer as Kitty Oppenheimer and The Fall Guy as Jody Moreno. Her upcoming role in The Smashing Machine alongside Dwayne Johnson promises intensity. Blunt’s sharp delivery as Emily Charlton will surely bring sparks to the sequel’s conflicts.
Anne Hathaway’s recent projects showcase her range. She charmed in The Idea of You as Solène, a woman navigating a whirlwind romance. Films like Eileen and Mothers’ Instinct highlight her depth. Hathaway’s Andy Sachs will likely face new challenges, and I’m eager to see her journey unfold.
Stanley Tucci, always a delight, has been busy with roles in Conclave as Bellini and The Electric State as Ethan Skate. His TV work, including Citadel and Inside Man, proves his versatility. Tucci’s Nigel is the heart of the fashion world, and his presence will add warmth to the sequel.
Why This Sequel Matters
The Devil Wears Prada was more than a movie — it was a cultural moment. It served up iconic lines, memorable outfits, and a glimpse into the high-pressure world of fashion. Although it will face significant challenges, I believe this cast and crew are capable of overcoming them. There’s something relevant about the story’s focus on an industry in flux, considering how media and technology continue to change.
Particularly noteworthy about this project is the combination between nostalgia and innovation. As a fan myself, I am excited to see old characters and return to familiar territory, but I need to recognize the new vision. Miranda and Emily’s clash hints at juicy drama, and Andy’s growth could deliver uplifting moments. And the New York-Italy setting promises a feast for the eyes.
As filming approaches, I’ll be watching for updates on casting, costumes and more. The idea of seeing Miranda Priestly back in action—navigating a world that’s changed since we last saw her—gives me chills. For now, mark your calendars for July 2025, when The Devil Wears Prada 2 filming brings fashion’s fiercest back to the big screen.
