All About the Sequel, Including Release Date

Get out your florals! The Devil Wears Prada 2 is coming next spring.

A sequel to the original 2006 film — which starred Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Stanley Tucci and Emily Blunt — was confirmed in July 2024. It has since been confirmed that all the original stars will return, stepping back into their iconic roles in the glamorous—but—evolved high-fashion journalism industry years later.

The original film, based on Lauren Weisberger’s book of the same name, follows Andy Sachs (Hathaway), a recent college graduate eager to pursue a career in journalism. Andy ends up working as a junior assistant for Miranda Priestly (Streep), the editor-in-chief of Runway, a fictional high-fashion magazine. Throughout the movie, Andy struggles to meet the demands of her job while maintaining her relationship with her boyfriend and co-workers, Emily (Blunt) and Nigel (Tucci).

The film ultimately grossed $326 million at the worldwide box office and was well-received during awards season, earning Streep her 14th Academy Award nomination.

From the plot to the release date, here’s everything we know so far about The Devil Wears Prada sequel.

What will The Devil Wears Prada 2 be about?

According to Variety, the sequel follows Priestly “as she navigates her career amid the decline of traditional magazine publishing and as she faces off against Blunt’s character, now a high-powered executive for a luxury group with advertising dollars that Priestly desperately needs.”

The movie could also incorporate plot points of the book sequel, Revenge Wears Prada: The Devil Returns, which was released in 2013. The novel takes place nearly a decade after the original and sees Andy and Emily come together as top magazine editors when Miranda comes sneaking back into Andy’s life.

Who is in the cast of The Devil Wears Prada 2?

Streep, Hathaway, Tucci and Blunt are returning for The Devil Wears Prada 2, which began production in June 2025.

The core four will be joined by Kenneth Branagh, who will play Miranda’s husband, according to Deadline. In July 2025, Variety reported more newcomers to the cast, including Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, B.J. Novak and Pauline Chalamet. Also set to appear in the movie are Caleb Hearon and Broadway stars Helen J. Shen and Conrad Ricamora.

At the same time, Variety also reported that Tracie Thoms will return as Andie’s best friend, Lily, and Tibor Feldman will return as Elias-Clark chairman Irv Ravitz.

Streep, Hathaway and Blunt had a small reunion on the SAG Awards stage in February 2024 when they announced the winner of best male actor in a comedy series.

As Streep began to open the envelope to announce the winner, Blunt called back to one of Streep’s iconic lines from the movie, saying, “By all means, move at a glacial pace. You know that thrills me.”

The previous month, Hathaway and Blunt reunited for Variety’s “Actors on Actors” series and reflected on their time making the movie.

“We just had a joy bomb of a time on that movie. I don’t know if any of us knew it was going to become what it did,” Blunt said. “It’s quoted to me every week. It will be the movie that changed my life.”

What has the original cast said about a sequel?

Though the main cast have had nothing but positive things to say about their time making the original, they have expressed some hesitancy about a sequel.

In April 2024, Hathaway told Extra that she “wouldn’t hold out too much hope” for a sequel after telling E! News that previous month that she didn’t “think a continuation of that story is probably ever gonna happen.”

Blunt has been more back and forth between enthusiasm for a sequel and unsureness, telling PEOPLE in April 2018 that it may not be the best idea.

“If everyone did it I would be up for it,” she said. “I almost hope it doesn’t [happen] because I think sometimes when you sequel everything kind of dilutes how special the original is.”

Four years later, in 2022, she doubled down on her comments, sharing on The View that she “would do [a sequel] in a heartbeat just to play with those guys again.”

Just a couple of weeks later, Hathaway made her own appearance on The View and shared that she didn’t know if there could be a sequel since the movie “was in a different era.”

“Now, everything’s gone so digital, and that movie centered around the concept of producing a physical thing. It’s just very different now,” she said.

Although Hathaway did suggest the possibility of rebooting the movie with a new cast. “But they could relaunch it,” she said. “They could find new people and do it. Do you think they’d let us do that?”

Most recently, Blunt said during a February 2024 appearance on the Happy Sad Confused podcast that the cast is “good” without a sequel. “Sometimes things should be cherished and preserved in this bubble and it’s okay,” she said.

Who is directing The Devil Wears Prada 2?

Wendy Finerman, who produced The Devil Wears Prada, signed on for the film alongside the original director, David Frankel.

The same writer who wrote the 2006 film, Aline Brosh McKenna, is also confirmed to be returning.

In celebration of the 15th anniversary of the film in 2021, Frankel and McKenna spoke to Entertainment Weekly about the potential for a sequel, sharing that the discussion wasn’t fully materialized at the time.

“We had a meeting where we said, ‘What could we do if there was a sequel?’ Maybe it was stupid; we felt like, No, this story has been told,” Frankel said. “Lauren eventually wrote another book following up 15 years later. We came to the same conclusion, that just following the characters wouldn’t be the same.”

McKenna added that it could be interesting to explore the world of magazines in the digital age.

“Magazines and publishing have changed so much,” she said. “This is a period of time where [Andy] took a physical book to someone’s house every day so she could leaf through it. Maybe they still do that, but I doubt it. It had its moment!”

When will The Devil Wears Prada 2 be released?

Mark your calendars! The Devil Wears Prada 2 will hit theaters on May 1, 2026.
