Better break out your fanciest digs and gird your loins, because the movie gods have heard our prayers. Amid all the on-and-off speculation for the last TWO DECADES, a Devil Wears Prada sequel is now headed our way, and more info surrounding the cast has dropped. Get ready to step back into the cutthroat world of high fashion and the reign of Queen Miranda Priestly.
So, when will the sequel drop? Who’ll star in it? Here’s all the tea we know so far.
What is the release date of The Devil Wears Prada 2?
In good news, it doesn’t look like we’re going to be waiting ages, because Disney has officially confirmed the movie will drop next year.
Coming in hot off the presses — the release date has been confirmed as May 1, 2026. Mark your calendars, folks!!
Who will star in The Devil Wears Prada 2?
Okay, this is where it gets spicy. Disney has confirmed the original core four are back: Meryl Streep (Miranda Priestly, obviously), Anne Hathaway (Andy Sachs), Emily Blunt (Emily, the OG savage assistant), and Stanley Tucci (Nigel, our forever fashion zaddy).
Just last year, Anne Hathaway reunited with Streep and Blunt at the 2024 SAG Awards, where Blunt quoted Miranda Priestley as she sarcastically quipped “by all means, move at a glacial pace” at Streep for taking too long to open the winner’s envelope.
Sir Kenneth Branagh (yes, the actual Oscar winner) is also joining the cast as Miranda’s husband — you know, the one she threw some serious shade at in the first film. Apparently, things are still a bit icy at home for Miranda.
So, if you were worried about a Hathaway-shaped hole in the sequel, you can relax — she’s in, and so are the rest of the icons.
In more exciting news, a plethora of fresh faces have been confirmed to be joining The Devil Wears Prada 2 cast alongside our fab four.
Per Variety, the cast will include Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, B.J. Novak and Pauline Chalamet!!!
Y’all, I’m still stumped on Lucy Liu. Do you remember that one scene in Charlie’s Angels “Barracuda” scene?
She’s the DEFINITION of office siren!!!!
Alongside Liu, Theroux, Novak and Chalamet, you can expect to see newcomers Helen J. Shen, Conrad Ricamora and Cale Hearon.
Deadline also reported that Bridgerton baddie Simone Ashley would be joining the cast!
Original director David Frankel and producer Wendy Finerman are also returning, and screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna is back on script duties, per Collider.
Notably, Nate (Adrian Grenier) aka Andy’s boyfriend and in my opinion her number one op is reportedly not returning for the sequel, and I’m gonna go out on a limb and say Andy is better for it.
What will the sequel to The Devil Wears Prada be about?
Given how the first movie ended (which was *chefs kiss*, by the way), you’ve gotta wonder where things will go from here.
Some fans are wondering if it’ll follow the books, given Lauren Weisberger — who wrote The Devil Wears Prada novel that the film is based on — wrote her own sequel in 2016 titled Revenge Wears Prada: The Devil Returns.
She’s also written When Life Gives You Lululemons, which is centred on Blunt’s character Emily (rather than Hathaway’s Andy).
According to reports from Deadline, a sequel could feature a plot in which Priestly is still editor-in-chief of Runway Magazine years later, but the magazine is facing the wrath of the decline of the traditional publishing industry.
She’ll reportedly have to face off against none other than her former assistant Emily, who’s now a powerful executive at a luxury brand after getting booted off that Paris trip. TLDR; Runway Magazine needs money and Emily’s company’s got it, so will Miranda Priestley manage to snag that deal?
Is there a trailer for The Devil Wears Prada 2?
It’s been a looong 19 years (!!!) since the first film dropped in 2006, so of course we’d all love a peep at what a part two looks like.
Unfortunately, we’ll have to wait just a little longer, because there’s no trailer yet.
However, the divas at 20th Century Studios do love a teaser moment and dropped this ominous gem on their socials to keep us wanting more:
I know it’s not giving a lot, but don’t fret, you know we’ll be updating this as soon as one drops!
