The Devil Wears Prada 2: Release Date, Where To Watch, Cast And What to Expect

After nearly two decades, The Devil Wears Prada is officially strutting back into the spotlight. The highly anticipated sequel is set for a theatrical release on May 1, 2026, marking one of Hollywood’s most awaited legacy follow-ups.

The sequel was confirmed in July 2024, instantly sparking excitement among fans of the original 2006 film, which starred Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci. Production began on June 30, and it didn’t take long for paparazzi shots of Hathaway, Streep, and Tucci back in costume to flood social media — reigniting nostalgia and curiosity in equal measure.

Following its theatrical run, The Devil Wears Prada 2 is expected to stream exclusively on Disney+, owing to 20th Century Studios’ association

with the platform.

What Is The Devil Wears Prada 2 About?

The sequel revisits the ruthless yet glamorous world of fashion journalism — but this time, the power dynamics have shifted. While the original film chronicled Andy Sachs’ (Anne Hathaway) brutal initiation into Runway magazine under the icy reign of Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep), the sequel explores a dramatically altered media landscape.

As print journalism struggles to survive, Miranda finds herself battling irrelevance in an industry she once ruled without question. Meanwhile, former assistant Emily Charlton (Emily Blunt) has climbed the corporate ladder and now controls crucial advertising budgets as a powerful luxury executive — putting her directly at odds with her former boss.

In a major role reversal teased in the film’s trailer, Andy Sachs returns to Runway as the magazine’s Features Editor, unsettling Emily and forcing Miranda to confront a future she can no longer command alone. Stanley Tucci’s Nigel is also expected to return, offering continuity — and likely, cutting commentary — as old alliances are tested.

Based on Lauren Weisberger’s novel, the original The Devil Wears Prada became a cultural phenomenon, celebrated for its sharp wit, unforgettable performances, and iconic fashion moments. The sequel aims to retain that edge while tackling timely themes of media disruption, power shifts, and legacy in the digital age.
