Break out your favorite cerulean sweater—because The Devil Wears Prada is back. After leading ladies Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt enjoyed an onstage reunion at last year’s SAG Awards, fans couldn’t help but hope that a follow-up movie might be on the horizon. Now, it’s finally happening: After almost 20 years, Disney is giving us a sequel.
Ahead, everything we know about The Devil Wears Prada 2 so far.
What will The Devil Wears Prada sequel be about?
Variety reports that the movie will follow Streep’s character, editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly, as she “navigates her career amid the decline of traditional magazine publishing and faces off against Blunt’s character, now a high-powered executive for a luxury group with advertising dollars that Priestly desperately needs.” It’s not yet obvious where Hathaway’s character, Andy Sachs, will fit into this story—but, rest assured, she’ll be there.
Who will be in the cast?
The main stars will reprise their roles for the sequel, including Hathaway (Andy Sachs), Streep (Miranda Priestly), Blunt (Emily Charlton), and even Stanley Tucci (Nigel Kipling).
Tracie Thoms and Tibor Feldman will also return as Lily and Irv Ravitz, respectively.
Newcomers will include Kenneth Branagh (as Miranda’s husband), as well as Simone Ashley, Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, B.J. Novak, Pauline Chalamet, Conrad Ricamora, Helen J. Shen, and Caleb Hearon, per Deadline and Variety.
Colin from Accounts star Patrick Brammall will be joining as Andy’s new love interest, Entertainment Weekly reports.
Director David Frankel and writer Aline Brosh McKenna, who worked on the original film, are also returning for the sequel, alongside producer Karen Rosenfelt.
As for whom else fans might like to see in the follow-up, Nicholas Galitzine, who stars alongside Hathaway in The Idea of You, recently told ELLE that he’d love to work with Streep and Blunt someday. He added that, should there ever be a sequel, he would want to be a part of it.
“Listen, if Annie’s down for it, if they want to do a sequel of The Devil Wears Prada, I’ll be someone,” the actor said in our 2024 Hollywood Rising issue. “I’ll be the assistant who runs and gets coffee for everyone.” There haven’t been any reports of Galitzine making a cameo in the movie (yet), but a boy can dream.
Which characters will not be returning?
According to an Entertainment Weekly exclusive, Adrian Grenier, who played Andy’s boyfriend, Nate, will not be returning for the sequel.
Do we have a release date yet?
The sequel will be released on May 1, 2026, according to Variety.
Has production started?
It sure has. On June 30, 2025, 20th Century Studios took to social media to announce that the sequel was officially in production.
Then, on July 21, Hathaway shared a cheeky filming update via TikTok. Posting a video of herself brushing her teeth (and wearing—what else?—a cerulean sweater), she captioned the clip, “Heading to werk #dwp2.”
Can I see some fashion moments?
Yes! On July 21, Hathaway also shared a TikTok video of her in character wearing a Gabriela Hearst Spring-Summer 2025 colorful patchwork maxi dress.
In an Instagram post, Hathaway showed off another one of Andy’s looks, a vintage Jean Paul Gaultier pinstripe suit vest and matching trousers.
Then, she was seen in a Toteme tank top, AGOLDE denim maxi skirt, and Chanel Velcro sandals.
On July 23, it was Streep’s turn to strut through the streets of New York City. Paparazzi caught the first glimpse of her back in costume as Miranda. Wearing the Gabriela Hearst Manuela Skirt and a purple blouse, she looked exactly as chic as we’d hoped.
On August 4, in an interview with IndieWire, the film’s writer Aline Brosh McKenna addressed the recent paparazzi shots and fan frenzy. “People will stand outside just for a glimpse of these actors and these characters that they love because seeing them in wardrobe has really excited people, especially since it’s a fashion movie,” she said. “We knew there would be a lot of interest. I personally hadn’t experienced this level of people coming out [to the set], but it’s the world we live in. In many ways, we’re speaking to a different world than we did in 2006… It stems from a legitimate desire to see these characters again. As long as everyone’s safe, what an honor that people are still interested.”
She continued, “I got a little squeal when I saw them in costume the first time. I was like, ‘Oh my God!’ It was like my son’s bar mitzvah or something. I felt like I wanted to take pictures!”
