The Devil Wears Prada 2 is officially in production, which means Miranda Priestly is on her way back to make your faves cry in couture. And yes—Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci are all locked in for the sequel. Add Kenneth Branagh to the mix (no, seriously), and you’ve got a recipe for the most chaotic, fabulous power play since Miranda threw a coat on Andrea’s desk.
The release date? 1 May 2026. So go ahead and block that weekend for red lipstick, old issues of Runway, and rewatching the original like it’s a documentary.
Disney confirmed the news earlier this week (because of course Disney owns fashion cinema now), and fans are already foaming at the mouth. One comment under the announcement simply read: “CINEMA IS BACK I CANT WAIT”—which honestly, mood.
Now, let’s talk plot: According to Variety, the sequel will follow Miranda Priestly navigating the post-print-magazine apocalypse while trying to keep her legacy alive in a world run by influencers and algorithms. And here’s the twist: Emily (yes, that Emily) is now an exec at a luxury brand holding the purse strings Miranda desperately needs. From withering under pressure to holding the cheque? Character development!
In real life, the cast has always remained high-key obsessed with each other. Emily Blunt called filming the original a “joy bomb,” and Anne Hathaway swore up and down last year that a sequel would never happen. (“It’s not gonna happen. We can’t do it.” Lies, Anne. Gorgeous lies.) But in a 2024 interview, she hinted that if something brilliant came along for the full OG cast, it’d be hard to say no.
Guess that brilliant something landed—and it came with Kenneth Branagh and a very juicy script.
Naturally, fans are demanding nothing short of a full-circle, fashion-fueled reunion. One tweet screamed, “FULL OG CAST OR NOTHING,” and honestly? They understood the assignment.
So yes, we’re manifesting new fashion montages, another soul-crushing speech from Miranda, and hopefully, Andy’s wardrobe having a redemption arc. If Emily doesn’t have her own office with Birkin bags as pen holders, we riot.
