Will ‘The Devil Wears Prada 3’ Happen? Director Finally Breaks Silence!
‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ is pulling crowds worldwide and now Part 3 talk has begun — Director David Frankel drops a big hint. Here’s everything you need to know.
20 Years Later the Sequel Arrived — Now Is Part 3 Already Knocking?
The iconic Hollywood franchise ‘The Devil Wears Prada‘ is back in cinemas with its long-awaited sequel, and the response has been strong. Nearly two decades after the original, Part 2 is drawing audiences across the US and India alike. But the conversation that has taken over right now is not about this film — it is about the next one.
Director David Frankel has spoken up about the possibility of a third installment, and what he said has reignited hope among fans who were not even sure a sequel would ever happen.
What the Director Said — “I Won’t Say Never Again”
In a recent conversation with entertainment trade publication Variety, David Frankel did not shut the door on Part 3. Not even close.
He said: “Look, it took us 20 years to make this film. I said never again. And yet here we are. So I’m not going to say never again. We’ll see what happens. If there’s an opportunity to reconnect with these characters and spend a few months with these incredible actors, I would love that.”
That is not a yes. But it is very clearly not a no either — and for fans of the franchise, that is more than enough to hold onto.
Who’s in the Film — Old Faces and Big New Names
‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ brings back much of the original cast while adding a fresh wave of big names to the mix.
Returning stars include Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, Stanley Tucci, Tracie Thoms, and Tibor Feldman — all of whom appeared in the 2006 original. Joining them in new roles are Kenneth Branagh, Patrick Bramall, Simone Ashley, Lucy Liu, BJ Novak, Justin Theroux, Lady Gaga, and Pauline Chalamet.
Simone Ashley plays Miranda Priestly’s new assistant — a dynamic that audiences have taken to immediately. Lady Gaga’s presence adds an entirely different energy to the film, and early reactions suggest it works.
Box Office in India — Nearly ₹20 Crore in 9 Days
The film has been in Indian cinemas for nine days now. On its eighth day, it collected ₹1.20 crore. The total collection in India has reached approximately ₹19.83 crore so far.
For a Hollywood English-language fashion drama whose original released two decades ago, these numbers are a reasonable indicator that the brand still carries weight with Indian audiences. The film is not breaking records, but it is holding steady.
20 Years for Part 2 — Do Fans Have to Wait That Long for Part 3?
That is the question sitting in the back of every fan’s mind. The original came out in 2006. The sequel arrived in 2025. Does that mean Part 3 lands in 2045?
Frankel’s comments at least take some of the anxiety out of that thought. He acknowledged himself that he never expected to make Part 2 — and yet it happened. If box office momentum holds and the audience appetite remains visible, studios tend to pay attention.
What Fans and the Industry Are Saying
Industry observers broadly agree that the franchise still has room to grow. The pairing of Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway on screen is the kind of combination audiences will reliably show up for, regardless of how many years pass between films.
On social media, fans have already started pushing for Part 3. The demand is loud and organized — which, in today’s entertainment landscape, is a signal studios genuinely track when making greenlight decisions.
There is no official announcement yet. What Frankel said amounts to leaving a door open — not an invitation, but not a lock either.
The performance of Part 2 over the coming weeks will likely be the deciding factor. If the numbers stay strong globally, the conversation about Part 3 will move from fan speculation to studio boardrooms. For now, fans are watching the box office as closely as the screen.
One thing is clear — this franchise has a way of coming back when nobody expects it to.
