Fashion lovers, rejoice — The Devil Wears Prada sequel is officially moving forward, and Emily Blunt has finally spilled some new details! The 42-year-old actress, who portrayed the snarky and stylish Emily Charlton in the beloved 2006 film, confirmed that she will be reuniting with co-stars Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway for the long-anticipated sequel.
In a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, Blunt dished on what she knows so far — and when fans can expect filming to begin.
When asked about where her character might be now, Blunt remained tight-lipped, admitting, “It’s so weird. I haven’t even read a script, I don’t know. I’m just like, where is she? I don’t know.” Though the plot details are still largely under wraps, Blunt hinted that she’s just as curious as the fans about where her character ends up.
Pressed on where she’d like to see Emily Charlton, the actress teased the potential for some character development — and maybe a resolution to old tensions. “Let’s hope we remedy [the beef between Emily and Miranda]. I’m not sure. Can you tell I’m skirting the issue? Can you tell I can’t tell you anything?” she said with a laugh, clearly enjoying the mystery surrounding the sequel.
But while she didn’t reveal much about the storyline, Blunt did confirm one major update: filming begins very soon. After quickly checking with someone off-camera during the interview, Blunt revealed that production is set to start in July.
This update aligns with earlier reports from The Wrap, which shared some preliminary plot details. According to the outlet, the sequel will explore the challenges of a changing media landscape. Meryl Streep’s iconic character, Miranda Priestly, now faces the decline of magazine publishing. In a twist of fate, she must turn to her former assistant Emily Charlton — who has since become a high-powered executive at a luxury fashion brand — for help with much-needed advertising revenue.
The first film, based on Lauren Weisberger’s bestselling novel, was a massive success and has become a pop culture staple. Fans have long hoped for a follow-up, and now it seems their wishes are finally coming true.
With filming set to begin in July and the original trio returning, excitement is reaching a fever pitch. While plot specifics remain under wraps, one thing is certain: The Devil Wears Prada sequel is shaping up to be the fashion event of the decade.
