The original “Devil Wears Prada” centered on Hathaway’s Andy Sachs, an aspiring journalist who becomes the personal assistant to Miranda Priestly (Streep), the ruthless editor-in-chief of a fashion magazine named Runway. At her new job, Andy butts heads with Miranda’s senior assistant, Emily (Blunt), and befriends the magazine’s art director, Nigel (Stanley Tucci).
Plot details for “The Devil Wears Prada 2” remain under wraps. Hathaway’s character quit Runway and joined a major New York City newspaper at the end of the original film. The sequel reportedly follows Miranda as she navigates her career amid the decline of magazine publishing. She faces off against Blunt’s character, her one-time assistant who is now a high-powered luxury executive with advertising dollars Miranda desperately needs.
Joining Hathaway, Streep and Blunt in “The Devil Wear Prada 2” are original cast members Tucci, Tracie Thoms, who played Andy’s best friend Lily, and Tibor Feldman, who portrayed the chairman of Runway’s parent company. Also back again are director David Frankel and screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna, making the sequel a huge reunion for the cast and crew.
New cast members for the sequel include Kenneth Branagh, who is set to play Miranda Priestly’s husband, as well as Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, B.J. Novak and Pauline Chalamet in undisclosed roles. Broadway stars Helen J. Shen (“Maybe Happy Ending”) and Conrad Ricamora (“Oh, Mary!”), plus comedian Caleb Hearon, will also appear.
While fans have long wanted a sequel to “The Devil Wears Prada,” the cast has been more hesitant over the years. Hathaway said on “The View” in 2022 that making a sequel would be “tempting” but perhaps not possible given the changes in media.
“I don’t know if there can be,” Hathaway said at the time. “I just think that movie was in a different era. Now, everything has gone so digital and that movie centered around the concept of producing a physical thing. It’s just very different now.”
“The Devil Wears Prada 2” is set to open theaters on May 1, 2026, from 20th Century Studios and Disney. Check out set photos below.
