Fashion is eternal. So is the game. This winter, nearly two decades after the original The Devil Wears Prada became a cultural phenomenon, the iconic story returns with a bold new chapter in The Devil Wears Prada: Legacy.
Anchored by Academy Award® winner Meryl Streep and Golden Globe® winner Anne Hathaway, this highly anticipated sequel dives back into the glamorous yet ruthless world of high fashion, where power, ambition, and betrayal collide. Also starring Emmy nominee Florence Pugh and rising star Maya Hawke, this film blends drama, wit, and high-stakes intrigue in a way that will captivate audiences old and new.
Directed by visionary filmmaker Greta Gerwig (Barbie, Little Women) and written by acclaimed screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, The Devil Wears Prada), The Devil Wears Prada: Legacy picks up 15 years after the events of the original film. Miranda Priestly, the legendary editor-in-chief of Runway magazine, is preparing to step down, but not without ensuring her legacy remains untouchable. Meanwhile, Andy Sachs, now a successful journalist and mother, is drawn back into Miranda’s orbit when her daughter, played by Maya Hawke, lands an internship at Runway.
Meryl Streep reprises her iconic role as Miranda Priestly, the cold and calculating fashion mogul whose influence still dominates the industry. Anne Hathaway returns as Andy Sachs, whose hard-won independence is tested when she’s forced to confront the woman who once controlled her life. Florence Pugh (Little Women, Don’t Worry Darling) joins the cast as Miranda’s ambitious protégé, a young editor determined to prove herself in a world where loyalty is fleeting. Maya Hawke (Stranger Things, Do Revenge) plays Andy’s daughter, a wide-eyed intern navigating the cutthroat world of fashion while uncovering secrets about her mother’s past.
The film’s backdrop is the dazzling world of high fashion, with scenes set in Paris, New York, and Milan. From exclusive runway shows to behind-the-scenes chaos at Runway magazine, the story immerses viewers in the beauty and brutality of the industry. As Miranda’s retirement looms, alliances are tested, rivalries ignite, and a shocking revelation threatens to upend everything.
The supporting cast includes Emily Blunt (A Quiet Place, Jungle Cruise), reprising her role as Emily Charlton, now a high-powered PR executive, and Stanley Tucci (Supernova, The Hunger Games) as Nigel, who remains a trusted confidant to Miranda. The film also features Zendaya (Euphoria, Dune) as a rising fashion designer whose work becomes central to the story’s intrigue.
The Devil Wears Prada: Legacy is directed by Greta Gerwig, whose sharp storytelling and visual flair bring a fresh perspective to this beloved universe. The screenplay, penned by Aline Brosh McKenna, captures the biting humor and emotional depth of the original while exploring new themes of legacy, ambition, and the cost of success.
Produced by Wendy Finerman (Forrest Gump, The Devil Wears Prada) and Netflix, the film marks the streaming giant’s foray into high-fashion drama. Executive producers include Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway, who were instrumental in shaping the story’s evolution.
With its blend of glamour, drama, and razor-sharp wit, The Devil Wears Prada: Legacy promises to be a must-watch event this winter. As the tagline says: “Fashion is eternal. So is the game.”
