The Devil Wears Prada 2
Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and
Stanley Tucci return for the highly anticipated sequel set in the glamorous world of fashion. |

While “Only Murders in the Building” did not emerge as a big player at this year’s Emmys nominations announcement, it fittingly received five nominations for its fifth season – for Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Lead Actor In A Comedy Series (Martin Short), Outstanding Contemporary Costumes, Outstanding Production Design For A Narrative Program and Outstanding Casting For A Comedy Series. Meryl Streep, as previously explained, was not nominated since performers who have previously been nominated in main acting categories are not eligble for the guest acting categories – for whatever reason. However, neither of season five’s staggering guest cast – including Dianne Wiest, Christoph Waltz, Renee Zellweger, Logan Lerman, Téa Leoni, Keegan-Michael Key and Bobby Cannavale – scored a nomination in the guest categories as well. The awards ceremony will be held live on September 14, 2026, at the Peacock Theater in Downtown Los Angeles, California, and will be preceded by the 78th Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards on September 5 and 6. The ceremony will be broadcast in the United States by NBC and Peacock and will be hosted by Mariska Hargitay. Season 6 of “Only Murders in the Building” should be released in August, or September at least, and so far we’re still awaiting confirmation if Meryl Streep will appear as a special guest once again.
We’re taking another dive into the archives, although this time we’re not getting very far into the past: Public appearances from 2022 to 2025 have been updated with additional pictures from the 2024 Cannes Film Festival and Emmy Awards – her sole nomination for “Only Murders in the Building”, various events for The Clooney Foundation For Justice’s The Albies and more behind-the-scenes from 2025’s 50th Anniversary of Saturday Night Live. A complete list of updates can be found below. Enjoy.

“The Devil Wears Prada 2” will be available to stream on Disney+ and Hulu starting July 29. The sequel has grossed $677 million so far at the worldwide summer box office. Released theatrically on May 1, “The Devil Wears Prada 2” opened 20 years after the original “Devil Wears Prada” debuted in theaters in 2006. Audiences were first introduced to Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway) as an assistant to Runway editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep). In the sequel, Sachs returns as the magazine’s features editor. Fellow former assistant Emily Charlton (Emily Blunt) is now a high-powered executive at Dior, who controls the advertising money Runway is in need of maintaining after a scandal. In addition to Hathaway, Streep and Blunt, Stanley Tucci, Tracie Thoms and Tibor Feldman reprise their roles in the sequel. New cast members include Kenneth Branagh and Patrick Brammall as Streep and Hathaway’s respective love interests, plus Simone Ashley, Lucy Liu, B.J. Novak, Justin Theroux and Pauline Chalamet. David Frankel, who directed the 2006 film, and Aline Brosh McKenna, who wrote the original screenplay, returned for the sequel along with producer Wendy Finerman. Michael Bederman, Karen Rosenfelt and McKenna executive produced the film. People Magazine accompanies the new with a gag reel, which you can watch exclusively on their website.
Some disappointing news: The previously announced thriller “Useful Idiots”, starring Meryl Streep and Sigourney Weaver, which was reported to start filming earlier this year, has been scrapped – according to Sigourney Weaver herself. In an interview with the Spanish El Pais, Weaver was asked if she is “finally going to work with Meryl Streep – your friend since college – on the film Useful Idiots?” to which Weaver replies: “Unfortunately, it’s not going to happen. But I hope we get another chance”. That puts a dire end on a project with a very promising storyline: The plot was set in New York and follows Diane Castle (Streep), a veteran journalist who covers the New York luxury property market. She’s disillusioned with writing puff pieces about the wealthy elite and regretful that she might not have lived up to her potential. When a record-breaking sale of a new penthouse hits her desk, Diane’s questions about the buyer’s identity lead to what could be the story of a lifetime.
Hulu has announced a ton of British acting talent in guest roles for the sixth season of “Only Murders in the Building”, which will take place, fittingly, in London. Simone Ashley and Nicola Coughlan, David Tennant and Jodie Whittaker, Richard Ayoade, and Oscar winner Jim Broadbent will appear in the new season, alongside Martin Freeman, Sharon Horgan, Jamie Demetriou, Adrian Lukis, Kathryn Hunter, Jennifer Saunders, Derek Jacobi, and Lesley Nicol. Rounding out the cast is former Spice Girl, Geri Halliwell-Horner. The upcoming season will center around solving the murder of Cinda Canning, played by Tina Fey. Before she was killed, Mabel, Charles, and Oliver were intrigued by her final episode, in which she discussed a London-based case called “The Girl with the Curls” – a case that Cinda became involved in. There’s no word yet if Meryl Streep will return to the show in a guest appearance. She has been spotted in London around the time of filming, but that doesn’t need to mean much. On the other hand, there’s no reason to exclude Loretta from the storyline as she has become an integral part of Oliver’s life. We will find out. There’s no release date set, but all previous seasons have premiered around August to September, so it shouldn’t take too long. Thanks to Joan for the heads-up.
Another great batch of fantastic archive pictures has been added to the photo gallery. This time, we cover public appearances from the complete 1990s – from 1990’s “Postcards from the Edge” to 1999’s “Music of the Heart”. In between, there are promotional visits to London for “Death Becomes Her”, Lisboa for “The House of the Spirits” (a press conference while the film was being shot in Lisboa) and Tokyo for the film’s premiere a year later. A full list of updates can be found below. Enjoy the new additions.

In the current issue of Production Weekly, it has been reported that filming for the upcoming Netflix series “The Corrections” is being eyed to begin in November 2026 and will run for several months before ending in April 2027. As earlier reported, Netflix purchased the series from Paramount TV Studios. CBS Studios is producing, with Meryl Streep confirmed as an executive producer alongside author Jonathan Franzen and director Cord Jefferson. Here’s the series’ synopsis according to Production Weekly:
After almost 50 years as a wife and mother, Enid Lambert (Streep) is ready to have some fun. Unfortunately, her husband, Alfred, is losing his sanity to Parkinson’s disease, and their children have long since flown the family nest to the catastrophes of their own lives. The oldest, Gary, a once-stable portfolio manager and family man, is trying to convince his wife and himself, despite clear signs to the contrary, that he is not clinically depressed. The middle child, Chip, has lost his seemingly secure academic job and is failing spectacularly at his new line of work. And Denise, the youngest, has escaped a disastrous marriage only to pour her youth and beauty down the drain on an affair with a married man – or so her mother fears. Desperate for some pleasure to look forward to. Enid has set her heart on an elusive goal: bringing her family together for one last Christmas at home. Stretching from the Midwest at midcentury to the Wall Street and Eastern Europe of today, The Corrections brings an old-fashioned world of civic virtue and sexual inhibitions into violent collision with the era of hands-off parenting, do-it-yourself mental health care, and globalized greed.
A fantastic batch of video clips have been added to the video archive. Some programmes I have been searching for years – and some I didn’t even know existed. Among the updates is 2005’s “Unscripted”, an HBO docuseries following young actors hoping for their big break – one of them being Bryan Greenberg, who plays Meryl’s son in the romantic comedy “Prime”. Lots of scenes from the film’s set are included in the episode. Then, there’s “Eight Minutes to Midnight”, a 1980 documentary for which Meryl taped a video introduction when it first aired on tv in 1984. Then, there are various news reports from the late 1980s and early 1990s. The final addition is a taping of Joe Papp’s surprise birthday party in 1978 at the Delacorte Theatre, where Meryl – alongside Chris Sarandon, Edward Herrmann and Carol Kane – performed a miniplay in his honor. In the video, we see them rehearsing and bits from the performance, among many famous faces of the 1970s. A great find. All added videos can be found below. Enjoy.

Once she’s in that world, she meets a beaver named King George and gets swept into a much bigger mission involving an imminent human threat. As of writing, “Hoppers” has grossed about $372 million at the global box office, which ranks as the sixth-highest total of the year. Upon “Hoppers”‘ release in theaters, it became one of Pixar’s best-reviewed movies, even amidst a long run of success for the computer-animation giants. Meryl Streep is featured in a voice cameo as the Insect Queen in a voice cast that also includes Piper Curda,Bobby Moynihan, Jon Hamm and Tom Law.
