Gird your loins — The Devil Wears Prada 2 is officially in production. Nearly 20 years after the original film became a cultural phenomenon, fans are finally getting a sequel. From casting news to plot details, here’s everything we know so far about The Devil Wears Prada 2.
Who is cast in The Devil Wears Prada 2?
The original stars are back. Meryl Streep returns as Miranda Priestly, alongside Anne Hathaway (Andy Sachs), Emily Blunt (Emily Charlton), and Stanley Tucci (Nigel Kipling). Tracie Thoms and Tibor Feldman will also reprise their roles as Lily and Irv Ravitz.
New cast members include Kenneth Branagh, as Miranda’s husband. As well as Simone Ashley, Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, B.J. Novak, Pauline Chalamet, Conrad Ricamora, Helen J. Shen, Patric Brammal, and Caleb Hearon.
David Frankel who directed the first movie and writer Aline Brosh McKenna, have also both returned in their original capacities.
Are there any characters not returning?
Adrian Grenier, who played Andy’s controversial boyfriend Nate (often dubbed “the real villain” of the first movie), will not be returning for The Devil Wears Prada 2, according to Entertainment Weekly.
What Is The Devil Wears Prada 2 About?
Plot details are still under wraps, but Variety has confirmed that the story will follow Miranda Priestly as she navigates the decline of traditional magazine publishing. Emily Charlton (Blunt) is now a powerful executive and is possibly competing with Miranda.
Anne Hathaway’s character Andy Sachs is confirmed to return, though it’s unclear how she fits into the story, having quit Runway at the end of the first film.
Has The Devil Wears Prada 2 started filming?
Yes. In fact, navigating social media without seeing any spoilers is becoming somewhat of a task. Production started on June 30, 2025 and since July 21, when Anne shared a filming update via TikTok, social media has been full of fans sharing behind the scenes shots of the stars filming in New York.
What to Expect from The Devil Wears Prada 2 Fashion
Fashion is of course a huge part of The Devil Wears Prada. It’s central to the plot and characters so of course we can expect to see some amazing looks throughout the movie. It’s been 20 years since the first was released and fashion trends have come quite a way since then. We will undoubtedly see much of the iconic office core looks we saw in the first, but with a modern twist.
Anne Hathaway has already been spotted wearing a vintage Jean Paul Gaultier pinstripe suit vest and matching trousers as well as a patchwork maxi dress from the Gabriela Hearst Spring-Summer 2025 collection.
