“I knew it was going to be a hit,” Streep told Jenna Bush Hager during an episode of “Today with Jenna & Sheinelle” last month. “I read the script — the script was great. They called me up, and they made an offer, and I said, ‘No. I’m not going to do it,'” she added. “And I wanted it, but if they didn’t want to do that, I was OK. Because I’m old — I’m 56, I was ready to retire,” Streep shared.

After its theatrical run, The Devil Wears Prada 2 is expected to arrive on JioHotstar and could be released on the platform around August 2026 or September 2026.
The sequel is expected to follow Miranda Priestly as she continues to navigate the changing fashion industry, especially as traditional magazine publishing declines and digital media takes over. The story is also expected to focus on Emily Charlton, who has reportedly risen to a powerful position in the fashion or luxury world, creating a dynamic where she is now in a stronger career position than she once was.
Andrea “Andy” Sachs may also return in some form, showing how her life evolved after leaving Runway, possibly exploring how her career and personal choices have changed over time.
