- So far stars Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci have not officially signed on to the project

The Devil Wears Prada sequel is not moving at a glacial pace, no matter how much it thrills Miranda Priestley.
Multiple outlets have confirmed that The Devil Wears Prada 2 will hit theaters on May 1, 2026. That’s less than a year away for a sequel that has yet to officially confirm its cast.
The original 2006 film, which was adapted from Lauren Weisberger’s book of the same name, starred Meryl Streep as the powerful Miranda Priestley, Anne Hathaway as fashion newbie Andy Sachs, Emily Blunt as vicious assistant Emily and Stanley Tucci as Miranda’s right hand man Nigel.
Rumors of a sequel to the beloved film have long been discussed, but in July 2024, Puck News reported that there was officially a sequel to the film in development with writer Aline Brosh McKenna, who adapted Weisberger’s novel into the original film’s screenplay attached.
Producer Wendy Finerman, who worked on the original, as well as director David Frankel, are also both in talks to return, according to Deadline.

And while neither Streep, Hathaway, Blunt or Tucci have officially signed on to the sequel, reports of a potential plot for The Devil Wears Prada 2 imply that Streep and Blunt would be back.
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.”

In February 2024, Streep, Blunt and Hathaway excited fans when they reunited to present at the 30th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards. But the cast has had mixed responses when asked about a sequel.
In April 2024, Hathaway told Extra that she “wouldn’t hold out too much hope” for a sequel after telling E! News that previous month that she didn’t “think a continuation of that story is probably ever gonna happen.”
However, Tucci seemed up for it while speaking to PEOPLE in October.
“If it does happen, I can only say that I’ll be happy,” Tucci said at the time. “I don’t really know. I haven’t [heard] about the plot or anything. I really haven’t.”

“There (are) rumblings,” Blunt told the audience, per The Hollywood Reporter. “There is stuff churning around. But I don’t know if I can confirm anything. But we would all be delighted.”
