The Devil Wears Prada 2

The Devil Wears Prada 2 — Release Date: 1 May 2026.
Directed by David Frankel, with a screenplay by Aline Brosh McKenna, The Devil Wears Prada 2 marks the long-awaited return to the world first introduced in the 2006 cultural hit The Devil Wears Prada. The sequel is based on Revenge Wears Prada: The Devil Returns, Lauren Weisberger’s 2013 novel that continues the story of fashion journalism, power, ambition, and the complicated dynamic between mentor and protégé. Meryl Streep reprises her iconic role as Miranda Priestly, joined once again by Anne Hathaway as Andrea “Andy” Sachs and Emily Blunt as Emily Charlton, alongside returning actors Stanley Tucci, Tracie Thoms, and Tibor Feldman.

The new chapter revisits the characters years after their original run at Runway magazine, reflecting an evolved fashion world shaped by digital media, brand culture, and the intensified pace of global style trends. With McKenna returning to script and Frankel reuniting with the cast, the sequel aims to retain the sharp tone, wit, and workplace satire of the first film, positioning aging legacies, career reinventions, and personal compromises at its thematic core. The story draws from the novel’s continuation, exploring Andy’s post-Runway life and her unexpected re-encounter with Miranda Priestly — a meeting that forces unresolved power tensions to resurface. Emily Charlton’s trajectory adds further contrast between loyalty, professional survival, and identity beyond the fashion machine.

The production also arrives after more than a decade of speculation, as both Streep and Hathaway had previously shown reluctance toward a sequel. Renewed development interest grew in 2024 under Disney, leading to the original cast’s return and fueling high anticipation for fans of the first film’s enduring legacy. Positioned as a character-driven comedy drama rather than a broad revisit, the sequel aims to expand the narrative in a modern publishing landscape that values influence as much as print authority.

As a theatrical release under 20th Century Studios, The Devil Wears Prada 2 is set to be one of 2026’s major studio titles — a nostalgic return to a beloved world, reframed through contemporary fashion, workplace culture, and evolving female ambition.
