00:00All right, everyone, gird your loins.

00:02Welcome to Ms. Mojo.

00:04And today, we're putting on our cerulean sweaters

00:07and going down the pop culture rabbit hole where theories are born.

00:11Why? Because after moving at a glacial pace,

00:14The Devil Wears Prada 2 is finally happening,

00:17and the internet is brimming with speculation.

00:20So let's break it all down.

00:21A TDWP sequel was announced in July 2024

00:33and is set to hit theaters on May 1st, 2026.

00:37It'll be written by Aline Brosh McKenna and directed by David Frankel.

00:42I usually start with a narrative idea, like Crazy Ex-Girlfriend or 27 Dresses

00:46or Morning Glory or unless someone brings me a book like,

00:49you know, Devil Wears Prada or We Bought a Zoo.

00:52Both worked on the original, so part two's in safe hands.

00:56Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Stanley Tucci, and Emily Blunt

01:00will reprise their roles as Miranda, Andy, Nigel, and Emily.

01:04There was something about Simone, Frankie, someone else,

01:08and she needs skirts, Calvin Klein.

01:12And there was something about a pony.

01:14Industry veterans Kenneth Branagh and Lucy Liu will appear too,

01:18alongside Simone Ashley, Justin Theroux, BJ Novak, and Pauline Chalamet.

01:25Comedian Caleb Heron and Broadway's very own Helen J. Shen and Conrad Ricomora

01:31have parts as well.

01:33Per reports, Patrick Brammel and Rachel Bloom are also linked to the project.

01:38However, Adrian Grenier, who played Andy's questionable boyfriend Nate,

01:43isn't coming back.

01:44I flew up to Boston while you were gone.

01:47Interviewed at the Oak Room.

01:50And?

01:53And you're looking at their new sous chef.

01:56Now, the runway gang might be returning,

01:58but they're obviously no longer together after Andy's departure.

02:02This begs the question, what are our beloved characters up to now?

02:06I want to work for somewhere like the New Yorker or Vanity Fair.

02:10I am a writer too.

02:11Is that right?

02:12Mm-hmm.

02:12The rumor mill is churning out quite a few predictions

02:15about where the sequel might pick up from.

02:17As the OG movie was based on the novel of the same name by Lauren Weisberger,

02:22there's a chance the second film may follow the plot of the book's sequel,

02:26Revenge Wears Prada, says the BBC.

02:29I don't want to give too much away, but they definitely go to battle again,

02:32and I think it's a bit of a surprise how it ends.

02:35If that is indeed true,

02:37we'll see Andy as a bride-to-be working at a wedding publication.

02:41Do you think there's something better than Vera Wang?

02:44I'm sorry, do they keep that next to the something that is better than chocolate?

02:46According to Variety, though,

02:48the new installment will reportedly explore how Priestley grapples

02:52with the downfall of print publishing.

02:54This thematic vein would certainly be more topical than the wedding route,

02:58especially considering the current media landscape.

03:01So?

03:01Have you gotten my note?

03:04Yes, I did.

03:05Oh.

03:05We'll discuss it on Wednesday.

03:06Yes, I agree.

03:08No business tonight.

03:09We're expecting the film to touch upon contemporary issues,

03:13like fast fashion and influencer culture.

03:16More importantly, Variety has hinted at Blunt's character,

03:19Emily, growing into a high-ranking executive at a luxury conglomerate in the sequel.

03:24I get to wear couture.

03:26I go to all the shows and all the parties.

03:27I meet all of the designers.

03:28It's divine.

03:30The catch is, Miranda might now be at her mercy to stay afloat.

03:35Although this isn't a confirmed report,

03:37it would be interesting to see the paragon of perfection lock horns with her former assistant.

03:42Meanwhile, production has been particularly tight-lipped about Andy's whereabouts.

03:54Back in 2022, when talks of a sequel were still up in the air,

03:58Anne Hathaway shared her vision for Andy's future in an interview.

04:01I called over there for a reference, left word with some snooty girl.

04:06Next thing you know, I got a fax from Miranda Priestly herself,

04:10saying that of all the assistance she's ever had,

04:12you were by far her biggest disappointment.

04:15And if I don't hire you, I am an idiot.

04:19She saw her character as an accomplished staff writer at a French publication for women

04:24and figured she'd be fluent in French too.

04:27As for her relationship status,

04:29the Les Misérables star mused that while she doesn't envision Andy as a married woman,

04:34she does see kids in her future.

04:36This wouldn't be far from how Andy is presented in Revenge Wears Prada,

04:40but again, we're not sure how much of the source material will be adapted into the film.

04:45The secrecy around Andy's storyline is working overtime to build hype.

04:49Have you guys ever spoken about the movie?

04:52Yes.

04:53And what has she shared?

04:54Why would I tell you?

04:56Because I'm a fan and I need to know.

04:58Because I know what you want to say.

04:59Speaking of overtime, you know who else is losing sleep over the sequel?

05:03The paparazzi.

05:04Rupert Murdoch should cut me a check for all the papers I sell for him.

05:09Ever since The Devil Wears Prada 2 went into production in June 2025,

05:13social media has been buzzing with photographs of the cast on set in New York.

05:17The majority of these shots show Hathaway looking drop-dead gorgeous in her costumes.

05:22Are you wearing the Chanel boots?

05:24Yeah, I am.

05:27You look good.

05:28Needless to say, Andy's wardrobe has undergone a major rehaul as she's now sporting brands like Chanel,

05:35Valentino, Gabriella Hurst, and what do you know, Prada.

05:39Andy will definitely be serving looks and turning heads in this new chapter.

05:43Who put that together for you?

05:46Oh, it's just something I threw on.

05:50Let me see if you turn.

05:54Uncroyable.

05:56Her glow-up might even catch the eye of a special someone.

05:59Nate's absence in the upcoming film leaves space open for Andy to have a new love interest.

06:04Wait, don't tell me, the boyfriend not blue?

06:07She's sweet, sweet, sweet, that's for me.

06:10No, she's so full of it.

06:11You're not desolée at all.

06:12Per Entertainment Weekly, that spot might be filled by actor Patrick Bramall.

06:17The call-in from Accounts star has reportedly joined the cast,

06:21and sources say he will be vying for Andy's affection.

06:24One of the kids say dating, going out.

06:27We say stepping about the town.

06:28Yes.

06:29Well, we're that, aren't we?

06:31Yeah.

06:31Contrary to the walking red flag that was Nate,

06:34Patrick's character is supposed to be more likable and hopefully less toxic.

06:38Our girl deserves the best, and she might just get her happy ending this time.

06:43Andy, it's done.

06:46Baby, it's done.

06:49I'm not your baby.

06:51Other potential plot developments we've gathered so far

06:54include the possibility of Andy and Miranda joining forces.

06:57In a video circulating on TikTok,

07:00our heroine is seen supposedly teaming up with the Runway editor-in-chief

07:04and her right-hand man, Nigel.

07:06Tell them I want to move the preview up to today, 1230.

07:09Tell everybody else, be ready to leave in half an hour.

07:12But we're not expected until Tuesday.

07:15Did she say why?

07:16Yes.

07:17That she explained every detail of her decision-making.

07:20And then we brushed each other's hair and gabbed about American Idol.

07:22I see your point.

07:23Andy may also be back at Runway.

07:25Judging from a Runway-branded garment bag Hathaway was seen with in one of the BTS shots.

07:31However, things don't seem to have gotten easier for Saks.

07:34A viral behind-the-scenes clip shows Andy chasing after Miranda in a frenzy,

07:39while in another, Miranda and Nigel appear side-by-side,

07:43paying no mind to Andy, who follows closely behind.

07:46Come on.

07:47Miranda's pushed the run-through up a half an hour.

07:49Mm-hmm.

07:49She's always 15 minutes early.

07:51Which means?

07:52You're already late.

07:53Come shoot.

07:54This dynamic is not the only thing the sequel has in common with the OG.

07:58Much like the first film,

07:59the forthcoming one is also attracting comparisons to Anna Winters' career.

08:03I'm very decisive,

08:05and I try and give very clear direction to the people that I'm working with,

08:10and sometimes, unfortunately,

08:13they don't hear the answer that they would like to hear.

08:16And as my publisher says in the movie,

08:20I'm not always warm and cuddly.

08:22Notably, the media mogul stepped down from her role

08:25as the editor-in-chief of American Vogue

08:27just days before cameras started rolling on TDWP2.

08:32Interestingly, the movie is slated for release

08:34shortly ahead of the 2026 edition of the Met Gala,

08:37an event widely considered synonymous with Winter.

08:40Since Anna Winters has taken over the Met Ball,

08:43it has become the Super Bowl of social fashion events.

08:48Several on-set images point to the film potentially featuring a gala of its own,

08:52which was filmed at the Museum of Natural History in New York City.

08:56Whether these are simple coincidences,

08:58deliberate parallels,

08:59or clever marketing tricks to create buzz,

09:01you be the judge.

09:02Well, I seem to remember that actually the movie was fiction,

09:06and we really like fiction at Vogue.

09:09Either way, regardless of whether Miranda is based on Winter or not,

09:13she'll always be one of the most iconic villains in cinema history.

09:16What's so fascinating about her is the fact that she isn't your standard antagonist.

09:20She's a notorious sadist,

09:23and not in a good way.

09:25Okay, she's tough,

09:26but if Miranda were a man,

09:28no one would notice anything about her,

09:30except how great she is at her job.

09:32She's cruel, sure,

09:33but her motivations are shaped by the cutthroat nature of the industry she's in.

09:37Meryl Streep famously went method for this role,

09:40and admitted to being, quote,

09:41miserable and, quote,

09:43depressed the entire time.

09:45I didn't stay in the role,

09:46but I just,

09:47it didn't help the dynamic if I came over and, you know,

09:49it was like trying to have fun.

09:52By the end, you kind of,

09:53you allowed yourself more fun.

09:54I tried, didn't I?

09:56I was miserable.

09:57I really was.

09:58I was miserable.

09:58We don't know whether the legendary actress

10:00has slipped back into the same creative process for the sequel.

10:04However,

10:04behind-the-scenes clips suggest she's having a great time on set.

10:08The three-time Oscar winner was spotted happily interacting with her co-stars.

10:12Viral social media posts show her blowing kisses to fans, too.

10:16We're so happy that you were able to come to our little gathering.

10:19Of course.

10:20I plan my holy year around this.

10:22Before we continue, be sure to subscribe to our channel and ring the bell to get notified

10:27about our latest videos.

10:29You have the option to be notified for occasional videos or all of them.

10:33If you're on your phone, make sure you go into your settings and switch on notifications.

10:37That said, beware of believing everything you see on the internet.

10:42As speculation about the sequel grows, rumors might be getting out of hand,

10:46especially surrounding new cast members.

10:49Miranda invites everyone.

10:51Now, we have to make sure that they all think that she knows exactly who they are.

10:54And I've been studying for weeks.

10:57I have to run all these by tonight.

10:59Don't be silly, Andrea.

11:00These, too.

11:00Netizens are sharing photos of their favorite celebrities stepping out in style,

11:06with captions that suggest they were spotted on the set of The Devil Wears Prada 2.

11:10While it's a harmless trend, such posts have convinced unsuspecting fans that stars like

11:15BTS's V, Lady Gaga, Kento Yamazaki, Zendaya, Doja Cat, and more might be making appearances

11:21in the film.

11:22Don't get us wrong.

11:23We wish they would.

11:24But finding out it was probably false hope all along is too much for our fragile hearts.

11:29I had hope.

11:31My God.

11:32I live on it.

11:34Anyway, you ended up disappointing me more than any of the other silly girls.

11:41What are you most excited for in The Devil Wears Prada 2?

11:44Let us know in the comments.

11:46You have some very large shoes to fill.

11:50I hope you know that.

11:51We'll see you next time.

11:53Yeah.

11:54This is big stuff.

11:55The Devil Wears Prada 2.

11:55Love to do.

11:56What are you most excited for in the crypto world?

11:56We'll see you next time.

11:57Bye.

11:58Czy that Tattoolam?

11:58Bye.

12:00Come back.

12:01Bye.

12:02Bye.

12:03Bye.
