The Devil Wears Prada Sequel: Everything We Know About the Returning Cast and Premiere Date

It’s official: The Devil Wears Prada really is getting a sequel. And it began production basically the day Anna Wintour stepped down from her EIC title at Vogue. Coincidence?

Though ideas for a TDWP sequel have been percolating for years, fans really began getting their hopes up when Anne Hathaway wore a cerulean dress to reunite with Meryl Streep and Emily Blunt at the 2024 SAG Awards. By July 2024, Variety reported that a sequel to the 2006 fashion comedy was in early development at Disney, though Hathaway’s return to the Princess Diaries universe appeared to take priority once the 42-year-old actor confirmed her involvement in October 2024. Here’s everything we know about the scandalous new film.

What’s the sequel about?

Per Variety, “the storyline reportedly follows Miranda Priestly as she navigates her career amid the decline of traditional magazine publishing. She faces off against Blunt’s character, her one-time assistant who is now a high-powered executive for a luxury group with advertising dollars that Priestly desperately needs. It’s not clear how Hathway’s Andy Sachs will factor into the story; at the end of the first film, she quits Runway and takes a job at a newspaper. David Frankel and Aline Brosh McKenna, who directed and wrote the original film, are returning for the sequel. Producer Karen Rosenfelt also returns.”

Who is in the cast?

The core four are returning, plus at least one promising new addition.

On June 30, Deadline reported that filming was under way with Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, Anne Hathaway, and Stanley Tucci all reprising their roles, plus English actor-director Kenneth Branagh playing the new Mr. Miranda Priestley.

Honestly, when we first heard that Branagh had joined the cast, we thought he was the perfect choice for Emily’s dad…did someone say wicked stepmother plot?

Just as crucial is who is NOT in the cast: Adrian Grenier. Yes, Andy’s boyfriend Nate, he who made grilled cheese and had too many principles and was kind of a whiner about his girlfriend having a demanding job is reportedly not in the sequel. Will he be missed? No.

The Devil Wears Prada sequel is coming in 2026.

On May 23, Variety reported that Disney has set the sequel’s theatrical release date for May 1, 2026. If you’re keeping track, that’s just three days before the 2026 Met Gala, which famously takes place on the first Monday in May.
