‘The Devil Wears Prada’ Sequel: Release Date, Cast, and Everything We Know

After years of speculation and fan anticipation, Disney has officially set a release date for The Devil Wears Prada 2. The highly awaited sequel is scheduled to hit theaters on May 1, 2026—exactly 20 years after the original film debuted and became a cultural phenomenon with endlessly quoted lines like “Gird your loins!” Despite still being in pre-production, the sequel is moving forward. However, no official cast announcements have been made yet. While Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Meryl Streep haven’t confirmed their return, all three have hinted at revisiting their iconic roles over the years—most recently during a nostalgic reunion at the 2024 SAG Awards. If they do return, Anne would reprise her role as Andy Sachs, Emily as the sharp-tongued Emily Charlton, and Meryl as the formidable Miranda Priestly. Plot details have begun to surface as well. According to The Wrap, the sequel will focus on Miranda Priestly as she grapples with the decline of print media. With Runway magazine on the brink, she turns to her former assistant Emily—now a high-powered executive at a luxury fashion brand—in hopes of securing vital advertising support. With legacy characters possibly returning and a timely plotline addressing the shifting media landscape, The Devil Wears Prada 2 is shaping up to be a must-see follow-up to the beloved original.
