Anne Hathaway shares first-look from 'The Devil Wears Prada' sequel

We had reported earlier that the sequel of The Devil Wears Prada is being made 19 years after the original with principal cast members Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci reprising their roles, along with Kenneth Branagh who joins the cast as the husband of Streep's character Miranda Priestly, in addition to Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, and B.J. Novak. 

 

Now, Hathaway has shared the first look of her character, journalist Andrea "Andy" Sachs, on her official Instagram handle, with the caption, "Andy Sachs 2025."

 

Set in the world of fashion glamour, the first film, based on Lauren Weisberger’s 2003 novel of the same name, followed aspiring journalist "Andy" Sachs, who is hired as an assistant to the difficult and demanding Miranda Priestly, editor-in-chief to the glossy fashion magazine Runway. Priestly is loosely based on the editor-in-chief of Vogue, Anna Wintour, under whom Weisberger briefly worked as an assistant.

The sequel was announced days after Wintour decided to step down from her position after 37 years. Released in 2006, the film was critically acclaimed for its writing and stellar performances. Over the years, it has cemented an iconic cult-status for itself, and has had a lasting impact on popular culture.

 

Though the plot details of the sequel are yet to be disclosed, it is expected to be centered on Priestly navigating her career amidst the decline of the traditional publishing industry. This time she faces off against Blunt’s character Emily, her previous assistant-turned-high-powered executive for a luxury group with advertising funds that Priestly desperately needs. It is unclear how Hathaway’s Andy Sachs factors into the story, as her character had quit her job as Priestly’s assistant and taken up a job in a newspaper agency by the end of the first film.

 

David Frankel and Aline Brosh McKenna, who directed and wrote the original film, will be returning for the sequel alongside producer Karen Rosenfelt. 20th Century Studios has announced a release date of May 1, 2026. .
