Everything we know about The Devil Wears Prada 2
It’s been nearly two decades since Miranda Priestly’s icy glare chilled audiences to the bone — quite literally. But fashion fans, rejoice: The Devil Wears Prada is finally getting a sequel, and it promises to be every bit as fierce, funny, and fashion-obsessed as the original.
Will The Original Devil Wears Prada Cast Return?
Good news! Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt are all set to reprise their iconic roles. The sequel will dive into the high-stakes collision of old-school publishing and the digital age — with the original trio right at the centre of it all.
Who Are the New Cast Members?
Stepping up to the sequel – most likely in Jimmy Choos, Chanel, and Valentino – is a bold new cast joining the fashion-forward cinematic world we’ve all been waiting for since forever.
According to E! News, Lucy Liu (Elementary) and Pauline Chalamet (The Sex Lives of College Girls) will play fresh new characters in the Devil Wears Prada universe. They’ll be joined by Justin Theroux (The Leftovers), BJ Novak (The Office), and Conrad Ricamora (How to Get Away With Murder).
Kenneth Branagh is also set to appear as Miranda’s husband number…who even knows at this point! While Tracie Thoms returns as Lily, Andy Sachs’ (Anne Hathaway) loyal best friend.
What’s The Devil Wears Prada 2 About?
This new cast will help shape a storyline that dives headfirst into the modern pressures of the fashion industry – and how technology and social media have transformed the way we consume style.
Reportedly, the sequel follows the legendary Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep) as she battles to keep Runway magazine relevant in a world dominated by influencers, TikTok trends, and dwindling ad revenue.
But the real twist? Her once-loyal assistant Emily Charlton (Emily Blunt) is now a powerful executive at a luxury advertising firm – and she’s not exactly keen to help Miranda out. Their looming showdown is sure to be deliciously dramatic.
Rumours also suggest the plot will explore the ethical dilemmas facing luxury brands and the influence of Gen Z and digital creators in shaping fashion narratives. Expect a battle between old-school journalism and the new media power players.
Not All the Cast Will Return
Adrian Grenier, who played Nate Cooper – aka the boyfriend we all debated over endlessly – won’t be returning for the sequel. Given how things ended between him and Andy, this isn’t a total shock. In the past, Grenier has spoken about his character, calling Nate a “fragile, wounded boy” who sparked fierce discussion among fans.
The Devil Wears Prada Was an Era
Fans of the original will remember how The Devil Wears Prada became a cultural reset – influencing everything from office fashion to our understanding of ambition and success.
Meryl Streep’s Miranda redefined the “terrifying boss” trope, while Andy Sachs’ glow-up inspired a generation of young women navigating their first jobs, self-worth, and style.
With the news that Anna Wintour (reported to be the inspo for Miranda!) is stepping back from Vogue after nearly 40 years at the helm – The Devil Wears Prada 2 couldn’t be landing at a more interesting time.
When Is The Devil Wears Prada 2 Out?
Produced by Disney’s 20th Century Studios, The Devil Wears Prada 2 is currently in production and scheduled to hit cinemas on May 1, 2026.
