In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE magazine marking the 20th anniversary of *The Devil Wears Prada*, Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt discussed their thoughts on a potential third instalment of the beloved film. The trio expressed enthusiasm for revisiting their iconic roles, but acknowledged there are several hurdles to overcome before such a project could come to fruition.

When asked what would be necessary for them to reunite once more, Streep, now 76, was direct, saying, “The script” is the most crucial factor. Blunt, 43, shared her agreement, reinforcing Streep’s sentiment by adding, “It’s all about the script.” Hathaway chimed in, stating, “And then, everybody has to say yes,” before Blunt specified that she would want the “core four” back in the mix, which includes Stanley Tucci, who played the pivotal role of Nigel in the original film and the latest sequel.

In a moment of levity, Streep quipped, “They have to be alive,” a humourous nod to the passage of time that has elapsed since their characters first graced the silver screen. This self-aware joke serves as a reminder of the journey the original cast has had—in both their careers and personal lives—since 2006.
The sequel, *The Devil Wears Prada 2*, sees the return of Streep’s formidable editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly and Hathaway’s Andy Sachs, who has now ascended to the position of features editor at Runway. The film centres around Andy’s efforts to win over Priestly’s former assistant, Emily Charlton, portrayed by Blunt, who has taken the helm at Dior’s U.S. operations. This dynamic trio faces the challenges of ad revenue and the ever-evolving fashion landscape.
Reflecting on the two decades since the original was released, Hathaway shared her personal growth since her 22-year-old self starred in the film. She noted, “I was just a 22-year-old mess… I’m in such a different phase of my life,” adding that she is now happily married to Adam Shulman and a mother of two. Hathaway expressed gratitude for the stability she has found, contrasting it sharply with her previous sense of being lost, which she felt worked well for her character.
For Streep, reprising her role was a relatively straightforward process. She described the experience as “kind of easy” and expressed her enjoyment in rediscovering Miranda. Blunt echoed this sentiment, saying, “You are sort of fused with this person you’re playing,” revealing that she revelled in stepping back into the shoes of her character. “I love playing this lunatic. I had a lot of fun slithering back into her shoes,” Blunt exclaimed.
The new film showcases the same blend of humour and high-stakes drama that endeared audiences to the original. It offers a fresh perspective on the complexities of friendship, ambition, and the fashion industry, making it an appealing continuation of a storied franchise.
With the sequel now showing in cinemas, the excitement surrounding it has reignited discussions about the possibility of a third film. The three stars appear open to the idea of another sequel, provided the right script comes along and that their fellow cast members are on board.
As these talented actresses continue to shine in their respective careers, fans are left wondering if the iconic characters of Miranda, Andy, and Emily will once again grace the screen. For now, audiences can enjoy *The Devil Wears Prada 2* while holding on to hope for a future ensemble reunion in a potential third instalment.
The legacy of *The Devil Wears Prada* continues to captivate, leaving viewers eagerly waiting for any updates on whether the iconic fashion tale will continue.
