The Devil Wears Prada 2
Miranda faces corporate threats while Emily returns as powerful industry player
The brief
Frankel reunites his killer cast for a sequel that swaps fashion week glamour for boardroom warfare, watching Streep's Miranda claw to stay relevant while the publishing world crumbles around her. The real electricity comes from Emily Blunt stepping into the power player role, creating a delicious reversal where the former underling now holds all the cards. It moves at a brisk pace through media industry machinations while keeping that razor-sharp dialogue that made the original so quotable. Perfect for anyone who loved Succession's corporate scheming or just wants to see Meryl Streep remind everyone why she's the undisputed queen of making terrible people absolutely magnetic.
The verdict
If you loved the original's sharp wit and crave seeing Meryl Streep navigate corporate warfare while Emily Blunt flexes newfound power, this delivers exactly the quotable dialogue and media industry scheming you want. If you're hoping for anything beyond bitchy boardroom politics or need your sequels to justify their existence with fresh storytelling, you'll find this feels more like expensive fan service than essential cinema.
