It’s been 20 years since the iconic film The Devil Wears Prada hit our screens, and fans have been demanding a sequel ever since.
Their prayers have been answered, because we’ve just got a glimpse of what we can expect from The Devil Wears Prada 2 in the first full-length trailer, as well as a release date for the movie.
Scroll on for everything you need to know about the highly anticipated follow-up film, including plot details, which cast members are returning, and the all too important release date.
What is The Devil Wears Prada 2 about?
We don’t know yet – as plot details remain a closely guarded secret – although it’s thought the story of The Devil Wears Prada 2 will follow Miranda as the editor struggles to remain relevant in the face of the print magazine’s ongoing decline and the rise of digital readership.
At the same time, she “faces off against Blunt’s character, now a high-powered executive for a luxury group with advertising dollars that Priestly desperately needs,” the official synopsis reads.
Some fans have expressed distress online at the emergence of “spoiler” photos, which they say ruin the anticipation of going to see the film. Especially after paparazzi pictures captured of Anne and Stanley’s characters attending a funeral were made public – sending the rumour mill into overdrive that a major character would die in the sequel.
Whatever the ultimate storyline, Stanley Tucci is enamoured with his experience filming the franchise overall.
“I think we would have one of the best times ever… That experience was one of the greatest I’ve ever had,” Stanley told People in October 2024 in reference to the first film.
“I’ve made many movies, I’ve probably made close to 100 movies, and I don’t even know how many television episodes, but that experience was one of the greatest experiences I’ve ever had.”
Who is starring in The Devil Wears Prada 2?
The original film was based on Lauren Weisberger’s (who worked as a personal assistant for former American Vogue editor Anna Wintour) 2003 novel, which told the story of a woman’s nightmare experience working at a fashion magazine.
At the end of the first movie, Andy quits, so it’s great to see that she’s back!
Meryl Streep is also reprising her role as Miranda, the high-powered magazine editor from hell.
For the movie, she earned a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Comedy and an Academy Award nomination.
Thankfully, Stanley Tucci is also returning!
Emily Blunt, who previously said she would be keen to take part if “everyone did it”, is also coming back as the snooty assistant Emily Charlton.
Colin from Accounts, writer and star Patrick Brammall is joining the sequel, and while his role is being kept under wraps, some reports suggest that he will play Anne Hathaway’s love interest. The pair were spotted filming scenes dancing together, so we will have to wait and see!
Rachel Bloom, who is known for her work in Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, has also joined the cast.
Charlies Angels star Lucy Liu, Bridgerton’s Simone Ashley, Justin Theroux, BJ Novak from The Office, Pauline Chalamet, Conrad Ricamora, Helen J. Shen, and comedian and podcaster Caleb Hearon have also been confirmed as new additions.
Earlier in July 2025, Kenneth Branagh was added to the sequel, where he will play Miranda Priestley’s husband.
David Frankel and Aline Brosh McKenna, who wrote and directed the first film, are also returning. Tracie Thoms, who played Andy’s best friend Lily, and Tibor Feldman, who was the chairman of Runway’s parent company, are also coming back for the sequel.
Deadline has also reported that Wendy Finerman, who produced the 2006 film, has also returned for the project.
When the original film was released two decades ago, it became a box office smash, earning US$326.7 million worldwide.
Who isn’t returning for The Devil Wears Prada 2?
The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that Adrian Grenier, who played Anne Hathaway’s character’s boyfriend, Nate, is not returning.
Since the film’s release, many have considered Nate to be a villain, so maybe lots of people are rejoicing with this news!
“All those memes that came out were shocking to me,” Adrian told Entertainment Weekly in 2021, in an oral history reunion with the cast and crew.
“It hadn’t occurred to me until I started to really think about it, and perhaps it was because I was as immature as Nate was at the time, and in many ways he’s very selfish and self-involved; it was all about him, he wasn’t extending himself to support Andy in her career.”
When is The Devil Wears Prada 2 being released?
The highly anticipated follow-up is set to be released in cinemas on May 1, 2026, which is the same day as the release of Marvel’s Avengers: Doomsday.
