Director Hints at ‘The Devil Wears Prada 3’ with Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway

Following the impressive box office success of The Devil Wears Prada 2, discussions about a potential third installment have resurfaced. Director David Frankel, who helmed both previous films, did not dismiss the idea when questioned in a recent interview with Variety.

Frankel expressed that a return to the universe of Miranda Priestly, Andy Sachs, and Emily Charlton could be feasible, depending on the right timing and story. He indicated his willingness to return if everything aligns perfectly.

“Look, it took us 20 years to do this one. And I said, ‘Never again,’ and here we are. So, I certainly would never say, ‘Never again,’ again. Let’s see what happens. If there was an opportunity to revisit the characters and to share a few months with these wonderful actors again, obviously, I’d love it,” Frankel shared in the interview with Variety.

The sequel takes place approximately two decades after the original 2006 film. It follows the lives of Miranda Priestly, portrayed by Meryl Streep, Andy Sachs, played by Anne Hathaway, and Emily Charlton, played by Emily Blunt, showcasing their current careers and the complexities of their relationships.

The sequel successfully reunited much of the original creative team, including screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna, producer Wendy Finerman, cinematographer Florian Ballhaus, composer Theodore Shapiro, and production designer Jess Gonchor. Frankel’s return as director also ensured that the tone remained consistent with the first film.

Financially, the movie has performed well, with reports indicating that The Devil Wears Prada 2 has grossed over 253 million dollars worldwide against a budget of around 100 million dollars.

There is also existing material that could support another sequel. Lauren Weisberger, the author of the original novel, has continued the narrative in subsequent books. Revenge Wears Prada follows Andy and Emily as business partners, while When Life Gives You Lululemons focuses more on Emily’s journey.

While nothing is confirmed yet, the combination of strong box office performance and available storylines has kept fans buzzing. The success of the sequel has also ignited broader conversations about whether Disney might explore expanding other classic film franchises in similar ways.

Currently, there is no official confirmation for The Devil Wears Prada 3, but the director’s remarks suggest that the possibility remains open.
