The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2025): Spoiler Details, Budget, Release Date, and Success Story
After nearly two decades, The Devil Wears Prada is making a grand return with its much-anticipated sequel, The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2025). The film is set to reunite Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep, reprising their iconic roles as Andy Sachs and Miranda Priestly, respectively. The sequel is inspired by the book Revenge Wears Prada: The Devil Returns by Lauren Weisberger, which follows the characters nearly a decade after the original story.
Plot and Characters
The sequel explores Miranda Priestly’s struggle to keep her magazine afloat in the digital age, as print media faces a steep decline. In a surprising twist, Miranda must seek help from Emily Charlton (played by Emily Blunt), her former assistant who has risen to become a powerful executive at a luxury fashion conglomerate. Meanwhile, Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway) is now a successful editor, but her life takes a turn when Miranda re-enters her world, reigniting old tensions and challenges.
Budget and Production
The production budget for The Devil Wears Prada 2 is estimated to be around $100 million, reflecting the high cost of recreating the glamorous world of fashion, including couture costumes, lavish sets, and international locations. Disney, which is producing the film, has spared no expense in ensuring the sequel lives up to the legacy of the original. The film is directed by David Frankel, who helmed the first movie, with Aline Brosh McKenna returning as the screenwriter.
Release Date
The movie is slated for release in late 2025, with a tentative premiere date during the holiday season to maximise box office potential. The official trailer is expected to drop mid-2025, building anticipation among fans of the original.
Success Story
The original The Devil Wears Prada (2006) was a massive success, grossing $326 million worldwide on a $35 million budget. It became a cultural phenomenon, earning Meryl Streep an Academy Award nomination. The sequel is expected to replicate this success, with its star-studded cast and a storyline that resonates with both old and new audiences. Early buzz suggests the film could dominate the box office, especially with its nostalgic appeal and modern take on the fashion industry.
