Alberto Palao—The Devil Wears Prada became a massive success when it hit theaters in 2006, eventually earning its status as a cult favorite. And now, it’s official: a sequel is on the way—and the best part? Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci are all coming back. Yes, really. The production of The Devil Wears Prada 2 is already underway.
The news was confirmed by 20th Century Studios on Instagram with a teaser that spoke volumes: two bold, red heels that said more than any announcement could. On top of that, Kenneth Branagh has joined the cast and will reportedly play Miranda Priestly’s husband.
Based on Lauren Weisberger’s bestselling novel, the original film followed Andy Sachs (Hathaway), a young journalist who steps into the high-stakes world of fashion under the watch of the formidable Runway editor, Miranda Priestly (Streep). The film became a modern classic that left a lasting impression on a generation—and nearly two decades later, it’s coming back with even more to say.
What is The Devil Wears Prada 2 About?
While plot details are still being kept under wraps, early reports suggest this time we’ll see Miranda facing the realities of the digital era and the decline of print magazines. The twist? Her former assistant Emily (Blunt) is now a top executive at a luxury group that controls the advertising budgets Miranda badly needs.
As for Andy—her role in the film hasn’t been revealed yet, but it’s safe to say her return will shake things up.
The Movie vs. the Book: What’s Different This Time in The Devil Wears Prada 2
Fun fact: The Devil Wears Prada actually already has a sequel in book form. The second novel—written by Lauren Weisberger, who also penned the original—was released in 2015 and picks up where the first story left off.
Nearly a decade has passed since Andy Sachs walked away from her life as Miranda Priestly’s assistant. Now, she’s teamed up with her former rival Emily to launch The Plunge, a luxury wedding magazine that’s taken off in a big way.
Things seem to be going perfectly—Andy’s engaged, her career is on fire, and her time at Runway feels like a distant memory. But when a major offer to buy her magazine comes in, it stirs up old feelings. Suddenly, Miranda’s presence is back in her life, and Andy has to face everything she thought she left behind.
That said, the new movie won’t be based on this storyline—which might come as a bit of a letdown for fans of the book sequel. However, save the date: The Devil Wears Prada 2 is hitting theaters on May 1, 2026. And yes, we’re already counting the days.
