Not bad for a film which hasn’t been made yet. According to Deadline, Disney’s 20th Century Studios has released a couple of new titles to release next year – among them the long-rumored sequel to “The Devil Wears Prada”, coming out on May 1, 2026. As Deadline writes, the sequel to the 2006 blockbuster, which grossed over $326 million, “The Devil Wears Prada 2” is expected to follow Runway magazine’s haughty editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep) as she navigates the challenges of the declining print industry. Disney confirmed development on the film last July, with Aline Brosh McKenna boarding to pen the script. Director David Frankel is expected to return, along with producer Wendy Finerman. While castings haven’t yet been formally announced, it seems a safe bet that we’ll also see the return of Streep’s co-star Emily Blunt and/or lead Anne Hathaway. So, for now, we’re still in unofficial waters.

As previously speculated (see our post below), Meryl Streep is indeed part of “Only Murders in the Building”‘s cast for season 5. Pictures from the New York set have been published today by various news outlets, as you can see below. We can expect season 5 to premiere this August, like the previous seasons. Edit: Additional magazine scans covering the filming have been added to the photo gallery, with many thanks to Alvaro for sending it in.

Hulu’s “Only Murders in the Building” is currently filming season 5. Among the new recurring stars added to the series are Renee Zellweger, Christoph Waltz, Keegan-Michael Key and Téa Leoni. But can we also expect more Meryl? There hasn’t been an official announcement, no set-picutres – and quite a closed story line. After leaving season 3 for Hollywood, Streep’s supporting role of Loretta Durkin was reduced to a guest starring appearance in season 4, at which end her character zips off to New Zealand the morning after the wedding because her Grey’s Anatomy spin-off has relocated there. It felt like the writers thought they’re good for now, but there’s a chance to bring her back. On Thursday’s Jimmy Kimmel Live, newly-minted Academy Award winner Da’Vine Joy Randolph, who plays Detective Donna Williams on the show, promoted her new film and was asked about working with Meryl Streep. When asked by Kimmel if it was “everything she hoped it would be?”. Randolph replies: “Not yet. However, and I say that because I’m greedy, I want more. So if you go back to season 3, I lock her up. So I just put handcuffs on her. But, John Hoffman, the showrunner, told me that he’s gonna make it up to me this season, so yeah.” So, is this confirmation of a return to the series? It’s quite vage and could also mean a bigger arch for Detective Donna Williams – or in fact, more Meryl in season 5. You can watch the conversation (starting at 1:35 minutes) on Jimmy Kimmel Live’s Youtube channel. Let’s see what season 5 will bring us when it most probably premieres in the Summer.

According to World of Reel, there’s apparent early talk that Meryl Streep will be voicing Aslan, who will be female, in Greta Gerwig’s “Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew.” Aslan in the novels is a talking lion who serves as Narnia’s guardian and mentor. Streep hasn’t appeared in a film since 2021’s “Don’t Look Up,” and that was very much a supporting role. She’s mostly been doing television on “Only Murders in the Building.” The 21-time Oscar nominee is also rumored to portray musician Joni Mitchell in Cameron’s Crowe’s much-anticipated biopic, but there’s been no update concerning that project since late last year. Gerwig’s planned ‘Narnia’ adaptations are Netflix originals, and all indications are pointing toward Gerwig tackling C.S. Lewis’ book “The Magician’s Nephew.” Gerwig’s Netflix deal is comprised of two movies she will direct. Word recently came out, via Bloomberg, that with or without Gerwig, Netflix are planning to produce eight ‘Narnia’ movies in total. Streep is the fourth performer that’s been rumored to star in ‘Narnia.’ The others have been Daniel Craig, Charli XCX, and Saoirse Ronan. The film is aiming to start production in late summer with a theatrical release on Thanksgiving Day 2026, followed by a release on Netflix in December 2026.

Yesterday, Meryl Streep was honored with her 4th Emmy Award. For what, you may ask? Last year, she participated in a reading of “The Three Questions”, written and illustrated by Jon J Muth and based on a story by Tolstoy. The 11-minute clip is part of StorylineOnline, the SAG-AFTRA Foundation’s children’s literacy program that streams online. For her reading, Streep received a nomination as Children’s Personality at the 3rd Annual Children’s and Family Emmy Awards, which are given out by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, “honoring creativity and innovation in children’s entertainment”. So, we can now congratulate Meryl Streep on two Primetime Emmy Awards (for “Holocaust” and “Angels in America”), a Creative Emmy (for narrating “Five Came Back) and a Children’s & Family Emmy for “The Three Questions”. If you haven’t seen it by now, you can watch a full segment of her reading in the video archive.

“Only Murders in the Building” was a surprise winner at Sunday’s Screen Actors Guild Awards in the category of Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series as well as a Lead Actor win for Martin Short. “We never win, this is so weird,” Gomez said on stage. “Marty and Steve aren’t here because… you know, they don’t really care,” she quipped to a big laugh from the audience. Martin Short couldn’t attend the ceremony due to a COVID infection and Steve Martin due to a prior commitment. However, Short published a note regarding hin win later, courtesy Deadline: “The honor of being in Only Murders In The Building is the most spectacular compliment anyone could be given. The honor of being awarded by your peers is even greater. Thank you so so much”. Gomez was joined on stage by Only Murders regular Michael Cyril Creighton, Kumail Nanjiani, Molly Shannon and Richard Kind. Meryl Streep did not win the ensemble prize since her performance in season 4 was reduced from supporting player to guest performer. And while neither she nor Short attended the ceremony, I guess die-hard fans spotted Streep during the broadcast anyway – she narrated the segment for the SAG AFTRA Foundation Relief about the L.A. fires. There was also a heartfelt mention to one of Streep’s film characters, and real-life whistleblower, in Jane Fonda’s acceptance speech for Life Achievement: “This is a good time for a little Norma Rae, Karen Silkwood, or Tom Joad. We must not isolate. We must stay in community. We must help the vulnerable. We must find ways to project an inspiring vision of the future.”

Documentarian Ken Burns is almost ready to release his new series, a six-part, 12 hour show on the American Revolution. We just have to wait a little bit for it since the PBS premiere is scheduled Nov. 16-21 from 8 to 10 p.m. It will air for six consecutive nights and will explore “the country’s founding and its eight-year war for independence,” according to PBS broadcasting. “The American Revolution has always been surrounded by myth that keeps us from seeing the real picture,” Burns said in a written statement. “The story of the birth of this country is at once devastating and inspiring. It was a bloody civil war that divided families and communities, displaced native nations, both challenged and protected the institution of slavery, while also proclaiming the noblest aspirations of humankind.” The full series will be available for streaming starting Nov. 16 at PBS.org and on the PBS App. It will also be available on streaming services like iOS, Android, Roku streaming devices, Apple TV, Android TV, Amazon Fire TV, Samsung Smart TV, Chromecast and VIZIO. As he has in many of Burns’ films, it will be narrated by actor Peter Coyote. The series will include the first-person voices of nearly 200 individual historic figures, read by a cast of actors, including Kenneth Branagh, Jeff Daniels, Morgan Freeman, Paul Giamatti, Tom Hanks, Samuel L. Jackson, Laura Linney, Meryl Streep, and many more. Thanks to Alvaro for the heads-up.

Only Murders in the Building has received four Golden Globe nominations for its fourth season. Stars Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez have all been nominated for Golden Globes for their respective roles of Charles Hayden-Savage, Oliver Putnam and Mabel Mora in the Hulu series. The series was also nominated for best television series – comedy or musical. Both Martin and Short were nominated for best performance by an actor in a television series – musical or comedy. Martin’s nomination marks the fourth consecutive year he has been nominated in the best television actor in a musical or comedy series category for the series. This nomination marks his ninth overall Golden Globes nomination and could be his first-ever win. Meryl Streep is left out of this year’s nomination since her three-episode turn counts as a guest start instead of a supporting performance. So, we have to sit and wait until next year’s Emmy nominations to see if she makes the cut in the guest actress category.

It’s a wrap for “Only Murders in the Building”‘s fourth season – with a fifth season already announced, and a slight chance that Meryl Streep’s Loretta might return. At least she’s not written out of the story completely. Screencaptures from the final episode “My Best Friend’s Wedding” have been added to the photo gallery. If you want to rewind this or any previous episodes, make sure to check out the career page, which features episode guides and in-depth information on each episode of the show. Enjoy.

After six episodes with no signs of Loretta (except for a voice appearance in episode six), Meryl returned in this week’s seventh episode and more than made up for being missing in action for pretty much of season 4. Who would have thought we’d ever see her in a catfight only rivaled by “Death Becomes Her”. Screencaptures have been added to the photo gallery – with many thanks to M for sending them over – as well as production stills and on-set pictures. Fingers crossed Meryl will be part of all three remaining episodes.
