Disney has officially announced the release date for The Devil Wears Prada 2. The sequel to the 2006 hit movie will arrive in theaters on May 1, 2026. Fans of the original film can mark their calendars for the return of Miranda Priestly and her sharp one-liners.
The original movie starred Meryl Streep as the fierce fashion editor Miranda Priestly, with Anne Hathaway as Andy Sachs, a young journalist navigating the cutthroat world of fashion. Emily Blunt played Emily Charlton, Miranda’s stressed first assistant. The sequel will focus on Miranda dealing with the decline of print magazines.
Reports suggest that Meryl Streep and Emily Blunt are likely to return for the sequel. However, Disney has not confirmed the full cast yet. The story will follow Miranda as she struggles to keep Runway magazine relevant in a changing media landscape. Emily, now a top executive at a luxury brand, may hold the key to saving Miranda’s magazine.
Stanley Tucci, who played Nigel in the first film, recently spoke about the sequel.
“I know they’re working on it. If it happens, I would be so happy, but I cannot give you any information. Otherwise, I’ll go to the actor’s prison or something. [The original] was one of the best experiences ever.”
The original The Devil Wears Prada was based on Lauren Weisberger’s 2003 novel. The book was inspired by her time working as an assistant at Vogue. The film became a cultural phenomenon, with memorable quotes and iconic fashion moments.
The sequel’s plot is expected to explore Miranda’s challenges as print media declines. Emily, now a powerful executive, could become an unlikely ally—or rival—to Miranda. The dynamic between the two characters will be a major focus of the story.
Anne Hathaway’s return as Andy Sachs remains unconfirmed. In the original film, Andy left Runway to pursue a career in serious journalism. If she returns, her role could be smaller compared to the first movie. Fans are eager to see if she will reunite with Miranda and Emily.
Disney has not revealed who will direct the sequel. David Frankel, who directed the first film, may return. The original screenwriter, Aline Brosh McKenna, is also expected to come back. The studio is keeping most details under wraps for now.
The announcement of The Devil Wears Prada 2 was part of Disney’s reshuffled release schedule. The studio also delayed Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars to December 2026 and 2027. This gives the Prada sequel a prime summer release spot.
Fans of the first movie have been waiting nearly 20 years for a sequel. The original film’s mix of humor, drama, and fashion made it a favorite. The sequel has big shoes to fill, but with Streep and Blunt likely returning, expectations are high.
The fashion industry plays a big role in The Devil Wears Prada. The first film faced challenges as designers feared backlash from Vogue editor Anna Wintour. Despite this, the movie became a fashion classic. The sequel will likely feature more high-end style moments.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 is one of the most anticipated sequels in recent years. With a confirmed release date and key cast members possibly returning, excitement is building. More details are expected in the coming months.
