- Releasing May 1, 2026
- Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci are all returning
- Kenneth Branagh, Simone Ashley, Lucy Liu, and Justin Theroux among newbies cast
- Plot follows Miranda Priestly's career decline as she faces off against Emily Charlton's luxury ad business
- First full-length trailer is now out
The Devil Wears Prada 2 is official. Almost two decades after the release of the original movie, the sequel is actually happening.
I don't mean to be a hater, but Vanessa Williams keeping the IP alive through a musical just isn't cutting it for me. If you were a fellow tween in the 2000s, Disney's The Devil Wears Prada was one of the cinematic moments of the decade.
You know all of Miranda Priestly's (Meryl Streep) iconic lines by heart, you watched the infamous Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway) outfit transition scene more than you did your homework, and for the only time ever, you hated Emily Blunt because of her character (Emily Charlton).
I know, I can hear you saying: "why do we need another sequel of a by-gone classic that likely won't be as good?" I might be ever the optimist, but I firmly believe that this is the sequel that could end up being one of the best new movies of the decade.
The reason? The original cast is all returning, the plot seems genuinely solid and the behind-the-scenes photos already prove that the outfits are as iconic as they were 20 years ago. Add to this the inevitable A-list cameos that will be coming our way, and we've got what has the making of an unmissable hit on our hands.
I'm already so seated that I'm 10 months early, but thankfully we already know a lot about what The Devil Wears Prada 2 has in store.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 release date
It's official! The Devil Wears Prada 2 will be released on May 1, 2026. Amazingly, this is one weekend before the MET Gala, though it's pretty clear which will actually be the fashion event of the season. It's like we'll see some crossover here too, with the cast attending in or out of character amazing PR for the sequel.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 trailer
The first full-length trailer for The Devil Wears Prada 2 is now out, and I've already seen it more times than I've seen my own family this year.
Miranda seems to have completely forgotten who Andy is, but clearly, she's got a lot of existential stuff on her mind. Emily's withering putdowns are back and better than ever, and Nigel is at the center of the drama, looking fabulous.
The Devil Wears Prada 2: confirmed cast
It wouldn’t be The Devil Wears Prada without the charismatic and electric quartet of Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, Meryl Streep and Stanley Tucci, who will all be returning for the sequel. We also have a confirmed new co-stars with Kenneth Branagh, Simone Ashley, Lucy Liu, and Justin Theroux. Plus, an abundance of hidden cameos will likely come out of the woodwork as time goes on.
Here's the confirmed The Devil Wears Prada 2 cast so far:
- Anne Hathaway as Andy Sachs
- Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly
- Emily Blunt as Emily Charlton
- Stanley Tucci as Nigel Kipling
- Tracie Thoms as Lily Ravitz
- Tibor Feldman as Irv Ravitz
- Kenneth Branagh as Miranda’s husband
- Patrick Brammal as Andy’s new love interest
- Simone Ashley
- Lucy Liu
- Justin Theroux
- B.J. Novak
- Pauline Chalamet
- Conrad Ricamora
- Helen J. Shen
- Caleb Hearon
Director David Frankel and writer Aline Brosh McKenna, who worked on the original film, are also returning for the sequel, alongside producer Karen Rosenfelt.
Hathaway's co-star in The Idea of You Nicholas Galitzine previously spoke about wanting to work with her and Streep in the sequel. "Listen, if Annie’s down for it, if they want to do a sequel of The Devil Wears Prada, I’ll be someone," the actor said in Elle's 2024 Hollywood Rising issue. "I’ll be the assistant who runs and gets coffee for everyone." Whether anything actually came from his pleas, however, remains to be seen.
Adrian Grenier, who played Andy’s boyfriend, Nate, will not be returning for the sequel.
The Devil Wears Prada 2: story rumors
While Disney hasn't directly shared a synopsis for the sequel, Puck magazine reported: “The storyline being discussed focuses on Miranda Priestly, Streep’s Wintour-esque protagonist, at the end of her career, facing the decline of traditional magazine publishing. She’s forced to go head-to-head with her former assistant, Blunt’s Emily Charlton, now a high-powered executive at a Kering or LVMH-style luxury group, whose advertising dollars Priestly desperately needs.”
Of course, we know Hathaway's Andy is going to return too, with the trailer telling us that she's Runway's new Features Editor.
The sequel is likely to draw inspiration from the book Revenge Wears Prada, but with added elements not present in the original novel. In Revenge, Andy had recently turned 30 and was about to get married (we've seen a wedding ring on Hathaway's hand while filming). She'd become a successful magazine editor in her own right, working closely with her former Runway survivor Emily before Miranda re-enters her life.
It goes without saying that we all know Miranda is loosely based on Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour, who has recently stepped down from her position after a 37-year tenure. If we'll see nods to this in the sequel remains to be seen, but giving how closely Wintour's exit times with filming, it's not impossible.
