With 2026 just around the corner, many exciting movies are on the way, and one of the most anticipated is a sequel to The Devil Wears Prada. Fans are especially excited about the return of Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly, and one of the new cast members recently shared a little bit about what it’s like to see her reprise the iconic role.

What’s It Like Working With Meryl Streep On The Devil Wears Prada 2

Justin Theroux is joining the cast of the upcoming Devil Wears Prada sequel. He recently shared some thoughts about Meryl Streep with Variety magazine.

It was widely known what film we were creating. Having grown up watching her, it’s a real joy and privilege to now be acting alongside her.

Those familiar with the making of the original The Devil Wears Prada know Meryl Streep stayed in character throughout filming, which reportedly made her very unhappy, according to Emily Blunt. She likely won’t repeat that approach for any future projects, as she’s stated it was the last time she’ll fully immerse herself in a role like that, because it left her feeling disconnected from her co-stars (according to IndieWire).

Theroux seems incredibly grateful to have worked alongside Meryl Streep and witnessed her talent firsthand. It’s not surprising he’s hesitant to reveal too much right now, but it’s great to hear that everyone involved felt confident about the project they were creating.

In addition to sharing a story about working with Meryl Streep, Justin Theroux briefly talked about his role in the new film. He described his character as wealthy, foolish, and someone he really enjoyed playing. It seems like a good fit for the movie, which is filled with glamorous and privileged characters.

The sequel to The Devil Wears Prada will bring back Anne Hathaway as Andy Sachs, Emily Blunt as Emily Charlton, and Stanley Tucci as Nigel Kipling. Kenneth Branagh will play Miranda’s new husband, and the cast is expanding with new faces like Simone Ashley (from Bridgerton), Lucy Liu, Caleb Hearon, B.J. Novak, and Rachel Bloom. Plus, Lady Gaga is joining the film! You can watch the first trailer now.

Filming for the follow-up movie started this summer and finished in October. During the shoot, the filmmakers were worried about fans accidentally revealing details about the characters’ costumes when they spotted the actors filming. Emily Blunt described the constant attention as making the cast feel like they were on display in a zoo. We’ve gotten glimpses of costumes worn by Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Blunt, but so far, no photos have surfaced of Justin Theroux’s character. Fans will have to wait until the movie comes out on May 1, 2026, to see everything.
