The best fashion never truly goes out of style. Two decades after The Devil Wears Prada became a sensation, 20th Century Studios is bringing us all back to the runway with The Devil Wears Prada 2, reuniting Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Stanley Tucci, and Emily Blunt!
Once again directed by David Frankel and penned by screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna, the film returns Streep to her iconic role as cruel Runway Magazine boss Miranda Priestly. Her Anna Wintour-esque performance laid the groundwork for so many similar roles over the years, while Hathaway’s ambitious Andy did similar for wide-eyed career climbers. Tracie Thoms and Tibor Feldman also return to their familiar parts as Lily and Irv.
New additions to the cast include Kenneth Branagh, Simone Ashley, Justin Theroux, Lucy Liu, Patrick Brammall, Caleb Hearon, Helen J. Shen, Pauline Chalamet, B.J. Novak, and Conrad Ricamora.
The film is based on author Lauren Weisberger’s sequel Revenge Wears Prada, in which Andy becomes editor of a bridal magazine just as she’s planning her own wedding, but is inevitably pulled back into Miranda’s world of cruel couture. The trailer doesn’t reveal whether this is a faithful adaptation, and instead shows Miranda and Andy meeting in the company elevator backed to the sounds of Madonna’s “Vogue”. A bit dated, isn’t it?
The Devil Wears Prada 2 hits theaters on May 1st 2026.
