The Devil Wears Prada 2 Star Finally Speaks Out on Sequel Hype
On the red carpet, Emily Blunt amped up the buzz around The Devil Wears Prada 2’s teaser—confirming her return as Emily Charlton and teasing just how excited she is for the sequel’s release.
Emily Blunt hit a red carpet, someone called the sequel The Prada, and the internet did what it does: spiraled. Here is where things actually stand with The Devil Wears Prada 2, straight from Blunt and that buzzy teaser everyone watched twice.
Blunt on the hype (and that nickname)
At Elle's 2025 Women in Hollywood event at the Four Seasons in Los Angeles, Blunt told ET she did not see the teaser frenzy coming. She also got a kick out of hearing it called The Prada 2, which led to this exchange:
'For The Prada? It is now just called The Prada?'
After the laugh, she admitted the reaction surprised the team in the best way: 'I do not think any of us expected the whirlwind around it. It is awesome.'
Blunt was there as one of Elle's 2025 honorees, alongside Jennifer Aniston, Teyana Taylor, Rose Byrne, and more.
What is in the teaser everyone is talking about
20th Century Studios dropped a one-minute teaser last week. It is simple and effective: Meryl Streep's Miranda Priestly steps into an elevator. Anne Hathaway's Andrea Sachs slips in before the doors close. Andrea offers a greeting. Miranda does not miss a beat: 'Took you long enough.'
That is it. No plot dump, just the vibe. And yes, it worked.
Release timing and who is back
The Devil Wears Prada 2 hits theaters on May 1, 2026 — almost exactly 20 years after the first film. Blunt is back as Emily Charlton, and the core cast is returning.
- Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly

If you are wondering why Blunt is talking about it now, it is because that quick elevator moment lit up the internet faster than anyone on the movie expected. Consider the countdown officially on.
