The Devil Wears Prada 2 is an upcoming American comedy drama film directed by David Frankel and written by Aline Brosh McKenna. A sequel to the 2006 film The Devil Wears Prada , it sees Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci reprising their roles, with Justin Theroux and Kenneth Branagh joining as new additions.

Contents

Despite the success of The Devil Wears Prada, starring cast members Streep and Hathaway were initially hesitant on the prospects of a sequel. Development on the film began in July 2024, with all four leading actors –Streep, Hathaway, Blunt, and Tucci –signing on to reprise their roles, and Frankel and McKenna returning to direct and write, respectively. Additional castings for new characters were revealed between then and November 2025. Principal photography took place from June to October 2025 in New York City and Milan, with additional filming in Newark. The Devil Wears Prada 2 is scheduled to be released in the United States by 20th Century Studios on May 1, 2026.

Premise

Andy returns to Runway as Miranda Priestly navigates a new media landscape and Runway's position within it. They reconnect with another former assistant, Emily, who is now the head of a luxury brand that possesses funding which could ensure Runway's survival. [2]

Development

In 2013, Lauren Weisberger wrote and published Revenge Wears Prada: The Devil Returns, a sequel to her 2003 novel The Devil Wears Prada which was adapted into the 2006 film. Starring cast members Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway were not eager to do a sequel, with Streep reportedly saying that she was not interested, and Hathaway stating she would like to work with the same people on "something totally different". [18]

In July 2024, it was reported that Walt Disney Studios, the parent division of 20th Century Studios, was interested in developing a sequel. [19] Negotiations began that month with Aline Brosh McKenna returning to write the screenplay, and Streep, Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci reprising their roles from the first film. [20] [3]

Casting and filming

Principal photography began on June 30, 2025, with David Frankel again directing, and Kenneth Branagh joining the cast. [7] In July, it was announced that Tracie Thoms and Tibor Feldman were reprising their roles, with Simone Ashley, Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, B. J. Novak, Pauline Chalamet, Rachel Bloom, and Patrick Brammall as new additions to the cast. [21] [4] [9] Streep, Hathaway, and Tucci were spotted to be filming in Manhattan during the week of July 21, 2025. [22] Blunt was spotted for the first time a week later. [23] Brammel and Hathaway were spotted filming a scene together on August 5. [24] Sydney Sweeney was spotted on set with Blunt on August 7. [12] An important airport scene was shot at Newark on September 10, 2025. [25] [26] Tucci and Streep filmed at the Dolce & Gabbana's Milan Fashion Week show on September 27. [27] Filming took place in Milan, Italy from October 6 to 18. [28] In October, Donatella Versace was seen on set filming a cameo appearance, [13] while Lady Gaga was announced to be having a role in the film, [14] Simone Ashley finished filming her scenes on October 17, 2025. [29] Filming officially wrapped on October 20, 2025. [30] By November 2025, Caleb Hearon, Helen J. Shen, Conrad Ricamora and Calum Harper were also announced to have been cast. [11] [16]

Music

The second trailer for The Devil Wears Prada 2 included a preview of "Runway", an original song performed by Lady Gaga and Doechii. The track, which shares its title with the fictional magazine led by Miranda Priestly, featured a house pop style and accompanied the trailer. [31] [32] The song was released on April 9, 2026. [33]

Release

The Devil Wears Prada 2 is scheduled to be released in the United States on May 1, 2026. [34] Its teaser trailer was reportedly the most-viewed comedy trailer in 15 years, with 181.5 million views in its first 24 hours alone. [35] The film's color grading and lighting — as presented in the trailer — sparked numerous comments on social media and in the press, lamenting the widespread adoption of the "Netflix look" across the film industry (standardized colors, loss of contrast, resulting in a smooth and flat visual rendering). [36] The film's first full trailer, released on February 1, 2026, recorded 222 million views within its first 24 hours, which 20th Century Studios described as the most-viewed trailer in the studio's history.
