Florals? In the spring? Groundbreaking. However, I suppose that will have to do because The Devil Wears Prada 2 is coming out next year! Nearly two decades ago, Anne Hathaway became an even bigger star with the release of The Devil Wears Prada, and took the world by storm.
It’s an incredible movie about a woman trying to make her way in the fashion industry, taking a job as an assistant to a forceful and cruel CEO of a fashion magazine because it could help her open doors to many opportunities. Along the way, it changes so much about her.
I could talk about this film for hours, from The Devil Wears Prada cast, to fashion and much more. Now that a sequel is very much in the works, let’s talk about what we know so far about The Devil Wears Prada 2.
What Is The Devil Wears Prada 2 Release Date?
At the time of updating this in July 2025, The Devil Wears Prada 2 is scheduled for release on May 1, 2026, according to Variety. That means it’ll be coming out as a part of the 2026 movie schedule.
So far, no other major films are competing with the movie’s opening, though a few other big releases are set for May. The book-to-screen adaptation of Verity is one, as is the long-awaited The Mandalorian and Grogu. Right now, Miranda Priestly’s return is going to remain unmatched on that weekend.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 Cast
Alright, we have a lot of confirmations for the Devil Wears Prada 2 cast. Let’s get into the returning cast members, and then some new ones, as well:
Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly
As confirmed with the news of the film, Streep is returning to the role of Miranda Priestly in the sequel.
Since her role in The Devil Wears Prada, Streep went on to win another Oscar for her part in The Iron Lady (and earn several other nominations). She has continued to cement herself as a legend, further solidifying her status and making me want to rewatch all of Streep’s best movies.
Anne Hathaway as Andrea “Andy” Sachs”
Confirmed by Deadline in June 2025, it was announced that Anne Hathaway was officially back in the role as Andy in the sequel.
This is fantastic news. Hathaway certainly became more famous after her role in this comedy and has gone on to have a fulfilling career in movies like Interstellar, Les Miserables, The Idea of You and many more. To see her return to this iconic role is everything, however.
Emily Blunt as Emily Charlton
It was also confirmed with the news of the film that Emily Blunt would be back as Emily Charlton, Andy’s co-worker.
One of Blunt's breakthrough roles was The Devil Wears Prada, and since then, she has continued to grow as a star. Some of her notable roles are in The Jane Austen Book Club, The Young Victoria, Dan in Real Life, Looper, Edge of Tomorrow, A Quiet Place, Oppenheimer, and many others.
Stanley Tucci as Nigel Kipling
Yes, this is everything. Also in that Deadline article regarding Hathaway’s casting, it was confirmed Stanley Tucci would return as Nigel Kipling, a role that I seriously love him in so much.
Tucci has appeared in so many films since then, including Conclave, Spotlight, Supernova, Easy A, The Hunger Games series, The Lovely Bones and more. Now I’m even more excited.
Additional Cast Members For The Devil Wears Prada 2
Additionally, there have been a slew of new cast members who were announced for the second film.
One of the biggest was confirmed along with Hathaway, with Kenneth Branagh having a role in the new film, and being set to play Miranda’s new husband. The actor and director has appeared in such movies as Belfast, Thor, Cinderella, Oppenheimer, My Week With Marilyn and many more.
Another major announcement was that Simone Ashley would have a role, according to Deadline in July 2025. She’s most known for her iconic portrayal of Kate Sharma in Bridgerton.
Confirmed in mid-July 2025 was that Rachel Bloom and Patrick Brammal would have roles in the sequel. In the same month, we also had a whole list of actors confirmed for the new film from Variety. These include:
- Lucy Liu
- Justin Theroux
- B.J. Novak
- Pauline Chalamet
- Helen J. Shen
- Conrad Ricamora
- Caleb Hearon
In this specific casting announcement, it was announced that Tracie Thoms will be back as Lily, Andy’s best friend, and Tibor Feldman will return as Irv Ravitz, the chairman of the parent company for Runway, Miranda’s magazine. Goodness gracious! That’s a lot of stars.
What Is The Devil Wears Prada 2 Going To Be About?
From the Variety article regarding the release date, we do have an idea of what the sequel will be about. In this age where print publications are going by the wayside, it’s going to follow something we're all familiar with.
The sequel will reportedly be about Miranda trying to adjust to her publication failing, as the traditional magazine industry is in decline. Now, she actually faces off against Blunt’s character, who is an executive for a luxury group with “advertising dollars” that Priestly needs for her magazine.
I love seeing students become masters, and this is the perfect way to showcase it. I’m ready for a battle.
Aline Brosh McKenna Is Writing The Script
It has been officially confirmed from the Deadline article regarding Hathaway’s casting that Aline Brosh McKenna, the original screenwriter behind the first film, has returned to write the second film. Since that movie, the screenwriter has worked on others such as 27 Dresses, We Bought a Zoo, Morning Glory, and Cruella, as well as directed the film Your Place or Mine.
David Frankel Is Directing
That Deadline article regarding Hathaway’s casting also confirmed that the original director, David Frankel, is coming back to direct the second.
He has since worked on the dog movie Marley & Me, The Big Year, and Hope Springs, as well as directed several episodes of television shows. Seeing him return to this franchise is everything I could have wanted.
Production Began In June 2025
In that article about Hathaway’s casting, it was confirmed that production on the sequel began in June 2025. In fact, a first look into Anne Hathaway’s return as Andy has already come out, and fans are pumped as all heck. Check it out below from Anne Hathaway’s Instagram:
I think it won’t be long before we see some updates on filming, and maybe a trailer by the end of this year! Oh my goodness, I’m so excited!
I think it’s time to update my fashion sense because now we’re getting down to the wire. I can’t wait to see what this movie brings, and how much my closet is going to change afterwards. The Devil Wears Prada 2 can’t get here soon enough.
