In a recent chat with Entertainment Weekly, Hathaway, Streep, Tucci, and Blunt shared their excitement about the possibility of a third film in the The Devil Wears Prada series. Streep, a seasoned Oscar winner, humorously expressed her hope not to wait another 20 years for the next film, while Tucci joked that they might need to resurrect the actors if they delay too long.
Blunt, who plays Emily Charlton, emphasized the importance of allowing time between films. If a third installment happens, she hopes for "more collaboration" with Tucci, who portrays Nigel. Interestingly, Blunt and Tucci are related by marriage, as he married her sister Felicity in 2012.

Hathaway took a more realistic stance, suggesting that the sequel's box office success would influence the decision for another film. She expressed a desire to revisit the characters, believing there is more to explore in a potential third film. Frankel, the director, provided the most optimistic outlook, stating that "there's a future for the characters beyond this narrative."

He noted that they had previously declined a sequel two decades ago, and now the sequel is finally hitting theaters. While he was cautious about confirming a third film, he envisioned that these characters could continue their journey.
