<i>The Devil Wears Prada 2</i>: What We Know So Far
Break out your cerulean sweaters because The Devil Wears Prada is back. When leading ladies Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt had an onstage reunion at last year’s SAG Awards, fans couldn’t help but hope that a follow-up movie would be on the way. Now, it’s finally happening: After almost 20 years, Disney is giving us a The Devil Wears Prada sequel.
According to Variety, Aline Brosh McKenna, who wrote the original The Devil Wears Prada script, is in talks to work on the new film. Producer Wendy Finerman will also be returning.
Ahead is everything we know about The Devil Wears Prada sequel.
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.”
Who will be in the cast?Entertainment Weekly reported that the stars are in talks to reprise their roles for the sequel, including Hathaway (Andy Sachs), Streep (Miranda Priestly), Blunt (Emily Charlton), and even Stanley Tucci (Nigel Kipling). Director David Frankel is reportedly returning, too. Disney has not yet commented on the news. According to The Wrap, Kenneth Branagh is set to play Miranda’s husband.
At the Red Sea International Film Festival last year, Blunt told reporters, “There [are] rumblings. There is stuff churning around. But I don’t know if I can confirm anything. But we would all be delighted.”
And last October, Tucci told E! News, “I’d revisit it in a second. Maybe. Listen, it was a great experience. My hope is, if it happens—obviously we'd have to work out all the logistics—but it’d be a fun thing for everybody.”
As for who fans would 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 Hollywood Rising issue. “I’ll be the assistant who runs and gets coffee for everyone.”
There haven’t been any reports of Galitzine potentially making a cameo in the movie, but now that it’s up in the air, fans are hoping to see him and Hathaway together on the big screen again.
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.
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.
