The Devil Wears Prada 2 - The Sequel That Still Isn't Coming

By Hollywood Buzz News | July 28, 2026

For two decades, fashionistas and film fans have asked the same question: Will Miranda Priestly ever step back into her Manolo Blahniks? Today, July 28, 2026, the answer is a firm no. Online chatter persists. Insiders drop hopeful quotes. Yet The Devil Wears Prada 2 remains as distant as it was when rumors first surfaced years ago. Here is the cold, hard truth about Hollywood’s most wished-for sequel that no studio will greenlight.

The Sequel That Isn’t: Why The Devil Wears Prada 2 Remains Stalled

No Greenlight, No Script - Studio Silence Continues

The biggest update on The Devil Wears Prada 2 is that there is no update. Disney and 20th Century Studios, which now control the rights to the 2006 hit, have issued zero official statements confirming a sequel. No greenlight. No approved script. No allocated budget. The studio’s silence is deafeningly consistent - and that silence remains the only reliable signal fans have received. For a project of this scale, involving A-list talent with astronomical fees, industry insiders note that studio hesitation speaks volumes. Without a formal development announcement, all chatter about The Devil Wears Prada 2 amounts to noise.

The Last Credible Rumors (2024 Script Treatment Unconfirmed)

Hope flickered in 2024, when a rumor claimed original screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna had been approached to write a treatment. McKenna never confirmed it. Neither did her representatives nor the studio. No pages leaked. No synopsis appeared. By mid-2025, the rumor had faded into silence. Since then, no credible source has reported any script movement. The absence of a completed screenplay - or even a publicly acknowledged draft - remains the single biggest hurdle. No script means no movie. And without a script, no studio executive will sign off on a production that would cost tens of millions.

Producer Wishful Thinking vs. Studio Reality

In a 2024 interview, producer Wendy Finerman told an entertainment outlet she would “love to revisit the world” of The Devil Wears Prada. Fan sites and clickbait articles have recycled that quote endlessly. But it amounts to wishful thinking, not a production commitment. Finerman’s enthusiasm is genuine. Enthusiasm, however, does not finance a sequel. The reality: Disney juggles a crowded slate of franchise films, Marvel projects, and animated features. A legacy sequel to a 20-year-old dramedy - no matter how beloved - does not fit neatly into that strategy. Until a studio executive puts pen to paper, The Devil Wears Prada 2 exists only in the dreams of its producer and its fans.

Where the Original Cast Stands - Separate Interviews, No Talks

Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt: “No Formal Negotiations”

Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt have been remarkably consistent in their public statements. In separate interviews conducted in early 2025, each actor stated plainly that no formal negotiations for a sequel had taken place. Streep, speaking to a major magazine, said she had “heard nothing official.” Hathaway, during a press tour for another project, told reporters she would “love to work with Meryl again” but added that “no one has called.” Blunt, typically the most cautious, simply said, “It’s not happening right now.” These are not the words of actors deep in contract talks. They are the words of actors who have not been approached.

Scheduling Conflicts & Interest - What Each Star Has Said Publicly

Beyond the lack of negotiations, scheduling makes The Devil Wears Prada 2 a logistical nightmare. Streep continues to command leading roles in prestige films and limited series. Hathaway’s production slate extends well into 2027. Blunt is one of Hollywood’s most in-demand actresses, with multiple franchise commitments. Even if a greenlight arrived today, coordinating the schedules of these three women - plus Stanley Tucci, who has expressed interest but also stays busy - would take months, if not years. All three have expressed fondness for the original film and openness to a sequel in theory. But theory is not a signed contract. In Hollywood, “I’d love to” is a polite way of saying “Let’s see what happens.” So far, nothing has happened.

What Fans Should Expect in 2026 - No Release Date, No Budget, No Merchandise

Unsubstantiated 2026/2027 Release Dates Debunked

Scour the internet, and you will find fan posters, speculative articles, and even fake Wikipedia entries claiming The Devil Wears Prada 2 will arrive in 2026 or 2027. These dates are entirely fabricated. No studio - Disney, 20th Century Studios, or any other distributor - has announced a release date. Theatrical calendars through the end of 2027 show no placeholder for the project. Streaming platforms like Disney+ have no content orders. Any date you see online is the work of hopeful fans or click-driven content farms. As of today, July 28, 2026, the film has zero calendar presence.
