Spring has arrived and that means two things: It’s time to get out your florals, and The Devil Wears Prada 2 is almost here.

The sequel to the hit 2006 film — which starred Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Stanley Tucci and Emily Blunt — was confirmed in July 2024. Many of the original stars will return, stepping back into their iconic roles in the glamorous — but evolved — high-fashion journalism industry years later.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 began filming in June 2025, and it didn’t take long before stars from the movie — including Hathaway, Streep and Tucci — were spotted on set, in costume as their iconic characters.

The original film, based on Lauren Weisberger’s book of the same name, follows Andy Sachs (Hathaway), a recent college graduate eager to pursue a career in journalism. Andy ends up working as a junior assistant for Miranda Priestly (Streep), the editor-in-chief of Runway, a fictional high-fashion magazine. Throughout the movie, Andy struggles to meet the demands of her job while maintaining her relationship with her boyfriend and co-workers, Emily (Blunt) and Nigel (Tucci).

Speaking about making a sequel, Blunt told PORTER magazine in September 2025 that the project “has deep emotional roots for a lot of us,” and it’s more than “just doing a movie.”

From the plot to the release date, here’s everything we know about The Devil Wears Prada 2.

What will The Devil Wears Prada 2 be about?

According to Variety, the sequel follows Priestly “as she navigates her career amid the decline of traditional magazine publishing and as she faces off against Blunt’s character, now a high-powered executive for a luxury group with advertising dollars that Priestly desperately needs.”

The movie could also incorporate plot points of the book sequel, Revenge Wears Prada: The Devil Returns, which was released in 2013. The novel takes place nearly a decade after the original and sees Andy and Emily come together as top magazine editors when Miranda comes sneaking back into Andy’s life.

Streep, Hathaway, Tucci and Blunt are returning for The Devil Wears Prada 2.

The core four will be joined by Kenneth Branagh, who will play Miranda’s husband, according to Deadline. In July 2025, Variety reported more newcomers to the cast, including Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, B.J. Novak and Pauline Chalamet. Also set to appear in the movie are Caleb Hearon and Broadway stars Helen J. Shen and Conrad Ricamora.

At the same time, Variety also reported that Tracie Thoms will return as Andie’s best friend, Lily, and Tibor Feldman will return as Elias-Clark chairman Irv Ravitz.

Adrian Grenier has been confirmed not to be returning to the sequel, and Colin from Accounts star Patrick Brammall has been cast as Andy’s potential love interest in the new movie, as Entertainment Weekly reported in July 2025. At the time, the outlet also reported that Rachel Bloom has joined the cast.

Ashley Graham, Paige DeSorbo and Ciara have also been spotted on set.

Production on The Devil Wears Prada 2 began in June 2025 in New York City, and several of the stars have been spotted in character since.

As NBC New York reported, the movie appeared to be using the code name “Cerulean” — a nod to a memorable scene from the first movie — on signs that were posted near filming locations.

That October, Theroux shared photos on Instagram from his time filming in Italy and wrote that filming had wrapped.

“And with that… we are closed! The Devil Wears Prada Two is officially a wrap!” the actor wrote in Italian in his caption, per Instagram’s translation. “Thank you Italy!”

Wendy Finerman, who produced The Devil Wears Prada, signed on for the film alongside the original director, David Frankel.

The same writer who wrote the 2006 film, Aline Brosh McKenna, is also confirmed to be returning.

In celebration of the 15th anniversary of the film in 2021, Frankel and McKenna spoke to Entertainment Weekly about the potential for a sequel, sharing that the discussion wasn’t fully materialized at the time.

“We had a meeting where we said, ‘What could we do if there was a sequel?’ Maybe it was stupid; we felt like, ‘No, this story has been told,’ ” Frankel said. “Lauren eventually wrote another book following up 15 years later. We came to the same conclusion, that just following the characters wouldn’t be the same.”

McKenna added that it could be interesting to explore the world of magazines in the digital age.

“Magazines and publishing have changed so much,” she said. “This is a period of time where [Andy] took a physical book to someone’s house every day so she could leaf through it. Maybe they still do that, but I doubt it. It had its moment!”

Is there a trailer for The Devil Wears Prada 2?

The full trailer for The Devil Wears Prada 2 was released in February 2026, offering a longer peek at Andy’s return to Runway. The clip included the moment that Andy and Miranda reunite, though Miranda didn’t remember Andy — even as one of the “Emilys.”

Ahead of the full trailer, the first teaser for The Devil Wears Prada 2 arrived in November 2025. It showed Miranda’s red pumps walking into an elevator at the Runway offices, where she’s joined by Andy, who manages to catch the elevator just before the doors close.

“Took you long enough,” Miranda says, as Madonna‘s “Vogue” plays in the background.
