Just when you thought it was safe to wear polyester, The Devil Wears Prada is back. Nearly two decades after the original film first strutted into theaters, a sequel is finally in the works, even if Anne Hathaway once completely swore off the possibility. She said in 2022, “There’s not going to be a sequel. It’s not gonna happen. We can’t do it.”

The follow-up has been a topic of discussion for years now—really, since the original came out in the mid-aughts—and has received varying degrees of excitement from its stars. But in 2024, a sequel was finally confirmed, and it has officially begun production. Hathaway and co-star Stanley Tucci posted the official announcement on Instagram on June 30, in a clip memorializing some of the original film’s most quotable lines.

Here, everything to know about The Devil Wears Prada 2:

What is The Devil Wears Prada 2 about?

It’s an understatement to say a lot has changed in the magazine industry since 2006—the days of expense accounts and black cars are long gone. The Devil Wears Prada 2 will certainly lean into that difference, and is reportedly led by a wiser (and older) Miranda as she finds herself in the cutthroat world of modern, digital media towards the tail end of her career.

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.”

This would seemingly diverge from Revenge Wears Prada: The Devil Returns, Lauren Weisberger’s sequel to the original novel. That story revolves around the wedding of Andy Sachs, who is now the EIC of a bridal magazine.

Given that Anna Wintour, whom Priestly has always been rumored to be based on, just stepped down from her role as Editor in Chief of American Vogue after 37 years (though not from Vogue entirely), the timing for the film couldn’t be better.

Are Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep returning?

Yes! Sources have confirmed that Hathaway and Streep (plus Blunt and Tucci) will return for The Devil Wears Prada 2.

Streep has been having fun with the news, sharing clips of Miranda Priestly’s most withering moments on Instagram:

Who else is in The Devil Wears Prada 2 cast?

Emily Blunt coyly confirmed her involvement in the sequel in June 2025, telling Entertainment Weekly, “Why are Meryl and I so mean to each other in every movie we’re in?” When asked when production starts, she simply replied, “July.”

Stanley Tucci, who played art director Nigel Kipling, also officially signed on. Oscar winner Kenneth Branagh will play Priestly’s husband. Andy’s boyfriend, Nate, played by Adrian Grenier, most likely won’t return as screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna said that in a hypothetical sequel, the couple would definitely be broken up.

As for the team behind the camera? Deadline reported that the original Prada director, David Frankel, is in conversations about a return. McKenna, who penned the original script, will write the sequel. Disney is behind the whole thing, so expect a big rollout.

When will The Devil Wears Prada 2 be released?

The Devil Wears Prada 2 hits theaters May 1, 2026.
