Emily Blunt Films The Devil Wears Prada 2 in New York

Emily Blunt is reprising her role as Emily Charlton in the much-anticipated sequel to The Devil Wears Prada, set to be released on May 1, 2026. Filming in New York City has attracted significant public attention, with the cast taking measures like changing costumes in bathrooms to avoid spoilers, given the importance of fashion in the film. Blunt described the on-set experience as "overwhelming in a good way" and expressed enthusiasm for returning to the character, whom she affectionately calls "insane." The sequel explores the characters' lives years later, with Andy Sachs now a successful magazine editor working closely with Emily before Miranda Priestly re-enters their lives. While Blunt has hinted at the sequel and shared behind-the-scenes details, she remains cautious about revealing plot points due to production secrecy. Additionally, Blunt highlighted her dedication to authentic portrayals in other projects, such as The Smashing Machine, showcasing her range beyond fashion roles.
