"The Devil Wears Prada 2" is now in production with Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci reprising their roles. There are also a lot of newcomers added to the call sheet including: Kenneth Branagh, Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, B.J. Novak, Pauline Chalamet, Simone Ashley ("Bridgerton"), Helen J. Shen ("Maybe Happy Ending"), Conrad Ricamora ("Oh, Mary!") and comedian Caleb Hearon.
The original film was based on Lauren Weisberger's 2004 novel "The Devil Wears Prada" and it followed aspiring journalist Andy Sachs (Hathaway) who gets a job as an assistant at a glossy fashion magazine but finds herself tormented by her demanding editor-in-chief, the cynical Miranda Priestly (Streep). Weisberger briefly worked as Anna Wintour's assistant at Vogue, and for that reason, it is widely believed that Wintour was the inspiration for the Miranda Priestly character. "The Devil Wears Prada" was box-office hit earning $125 million in North America, and $326 million worldwide. It also received two Oscar nominations for Streep's performance and Patricia Field's Costume Design.
Plot details for the sequel have not been officially revealed, but according to reports, it will follow Miranda Priestly as she navigates her career amid the decline of traditional magazine publishing. She will face off against her former assistant, played by Emily Blunt in the original, who is now a high-powered executive for a luxury group with advertising dollars that Priestly desperately needs.
Branagh is set to play Priestly's husband, but most of the other roles have not been revealed. Two other returning characters are Lily (Tracie Thoms) and Irv Ravitz (Tibor Feldman).
David Frankel is back in the director's chair, while the first film's writer Aline Brosh McKenna also returned to pen the sequel's script. Karen Rosenfelt and McKenna will executive produce.
Produced by Disney's 20th Century Studios, "The Devil Wears Prada 2" will open in theaters on May 1, 2026.
