Aline Brosh McKenna, the talented screenwriter behind The Devil Wears Prada 2, is embracing the buzz surrounding David Frankel’s eagerly awaited sequel. In a recent interview with IndieWire, McKenna addressed the viral set photos that have taken the internet by storm, expressing her gratitude for the overwhelming interest in the film’s development.
“It’s truly an honor to have so many fans eager to see what we’re creating,” McKenna remarked. “People are showing up just for a glimpse of the beloved characters and actors, especially since this is a fashion-centric movie. The excitement around the wardrobe has really captured people’s attention.” She noted that the level of enthusiasm surrounding the set is something she hadn’t personally experienced before, highlighting the unique cultural landscape we inhabit today.
“We’re engaging with a different world than we did in 2006,” she continued. “There’s a genuine desire among audiences to reconnect with these characters. As long as everyone stays safe, it’s a privilege to see such interest.” McKenna also shared her own excitement: “When I first saw the cast in costume, I couldn’t help but squeal! It felt like a monumental moment, like my son’s bar mitzvah. I wanted to capture every memory with photos!”
Filming is currently underway in New York City, where the recent release of first-look images has sparked discussions online about their impact on the moviegoing experience. Fans are eagerly flocking to the streets of Manhattan, excited to catch a glimpse of the return to the high-stakes fashion world they adore.
The film sees the return of iconic cast members Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Stanley Tucci, and Emily Blunt, who were spotted around notable city landmarks, including the Met, which has been transformed for a gala scene in the sequel. New additions to the cast include Simone Ashley, Pauline Chalamet, Helen J. Shen, Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, B.J. Novak, Rachel Bloom, Patrick Brammall, and Kenneth Branagh, who will portray the husband of Streep’s Anna Wintour-inspired character, Miranda Priestly.
Based on Lauren Weisberger’s acclaimed 2003 novel, the original The Devil Wears Prada film focused on Andy Sachs (Hathaway), a journalism graduate who secures a coveted assistant position at a prestigious fashion magazine. The highly anticipated sequel, set to hit theaters on May 1, 2026, is expected to delve into Miranda’s journey as she navigates the challenges facing the print industry today.
