Fashion fans, it’s time to gird your loins, Miranda Priestly is officially making her comeback. Nearly 20 years after the original film became a cultural phenomenon, The Devil Wears Prada 2 is finally happening, and the details are already creating major buzz.
Release Date
The sequel is slated to hit theaters on May 1, 2026, strategically arriving just days before the Met Gala, practically guaranteeing it will be the fashion event of the year both on and off screen.
Production & Trailer Updates
Filming kicked off on June 30, 2025, following a long development process that saw an early sequel script shelved back in 2013.
While no trailer has been released yet, insiders suggest the first official footage won’t drop until early 2026 once production wraps.
Returning Cast & New Faces
Fans of the original will be thrilled to know the powerhouse core cast is back:
- Anne Hathaway as Andy Sachs
- Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly
- Emily Blunt as Emily Charlton
- Stanley Tucci as Nigel Kipling
New additions include Kenneth Branagh, Simone Ashley, Lucy Liu, and Justin Theroux, along with several rumored celebrity cameos. Director David Frankel and screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna are also returning, reuniting the creative team behind the original hit.
One notable absence? Adrian Grenier will not reprise his role as Nate, Andy’s boyfriend from the first film.
Plot Details (So Far)
While Disney has yet to release an official synopsis, industry sources hint the sequel will follow Miranda Priestly in the twilight of her career as the traditional magazine world collapses.
She reportedly finds herself clashing with former assistant Emily Charlton, now running a powerful luxury brand whose advertising dollars Miranda desperately needs.
Anne Hathaway’s Andy is confirmed to return as well, though her current role in the high-fashion world remains a mystery.
Early set photos showing Hathaway wearing a wedding ring have fueled speculation that the story will borrow elements from Revenge Wears Prada, the book sequel in which Andy has become a successful editor and is about to get married.
Why the Hype is Real
With the entire original cast returning, a storyline that reflects the shifting fashion media landscape, and behind-the-scenes images teasing more iconic costumes, The Devil Wears Prada 2 is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about releases of the decade.
The countdown to May 2026 has officially begun – and if early buzz is any indication, the sequel could be every bit as stylish and cutting as the original.
