Emily Blunt has given an exciting update on the hotly anticipated sequel to The Devil Wears Prada.
The star is set to reprise the role of Miranda Priestly’s former assistant Emily Charlton from the 2006 iconic movie also starring Meryl Streep as the titular devilish boss and Anne Hathaway as new assistant Andy Sachs.
Speaking about the sequel, which is set for a May 2026 release, Blunt said that filming will start in July.
The upcoming movie will see Miranda and Emily go head to head, with Blunt joking that she and Streep are “so mean to each other in every movie [they] do”.
“We always have beef with each other. I don’t know what it is. Let’s hope we remedy it. I’m not sure,” Blunt told Entertainment Tonight earlier this week.

The two stars also appeared together in Mary Poppins Returns and fantasy musical Into the Woods, where Blunt played the Baker’s Wife on a quest to find some magical objects for Streep’s evil witch.
She remained tightlipped about plot details, suggesting she hadn’t “even read a script”.
“I don’t know. Where is [Emily]? I don’t know,” she added, playing coy. (We sure hope she’s in Paris.)

“Can you tell I’m skirting the issue? Can you tell I’m not telling you anything?” Blunt told the journalist she was being “so evasive” and “the worst interview of your life”.
The first movie skyrocketed Blunt and Hathaway’s popularity as the It Girls of the early 2000s.
Asked if she’d ever thought she would play Emily once again, Blunt said: “No. Twenty years ago, in a blink, it’s gone by.”
The Devil Wears Prada sequel has a 1 May, 2026 release date.
