Get ready: Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci have officially signed on for the production of “The Devil Wears Prada 2.” Joining the original cast members is Kenneth Branagh, who will play the role of Miranda Presley’s (Streep) husband, the strict editor-in-chief of Runway magazine. Disney’s 20th Century Studios confirmed the exciting news on Instagram with a teaser featuring two striking red pumps.
Adapted from Lauren Weisberger’s 2004 novel, the sequel will continue the story of aspiring journalist Andy Sachs (Hathaway) as she navigates the high-pressure world of a fashion magazine under the leadership of the formidable Miranda Priestly. The original film was based on Weisberger’s experiences as an assistant to Anna Wintour at Vogue.
While specific plot details for the sequel have not been revealed, reports suggest that the storyline will focus on Miranda Priestly’s professional journey amidst the changing landscape of magazine publishing. She will clash with Blunt’s character, her former assistant turned powerful executive in a luxury group. The involvement of Hathaway’s Andy Sachs in the new chapter remains uncertain, considering she left Runway for a job at a newspaper in the first movie.
Director David Frankel, screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna, and producer Karen Rosenfelt are all returning for the sequel, set to hit theaters on May 1, 2026. Stay tuned for more updates on this highly anticipated film.
