The Devil Wears Prada 2: Hathaway and Streep Return to the Spotlight

Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep are officially back to reprise their iconic roles in the eagerly awaited sequel, The Devil Wears Prada 2. Filming has commenced in New York City, with Hathaway returning as Andy Sachs and Streep as the formidable Miranda Priestly. Fans were thrilled when Hathaway shared a first-look image of Andy Sachs from 2025, dressed sharply and smiling, marking her character’s comeback after leaving the fashion magazine world in the original 2006 film.

The sequel explores a much-changed media landscape where Miranda Priestly faces a fierce rivalry for critical advertising revenue. Intriguingly, this rivalry pits Miranda against her former assistant Emily Charlton, now played by Emily Blunt, who has climbed the ranks to become a powerful executive in the luxury fashion business. Original cast members Stanley Tucci, Tracie Thoms, and Tibor Feldman also return, along with newcomers such as Kenneth Branagh, who will portray Miranda’s husband, and other notable additions including Rachel Bloom, Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, and B.J. Novak.

Patrick Brammall has been cast as a new love interest for Anne Hathaway’s Andy Sachs, replacing Adrian Grenier's character from the first film. The narrative is said to focus on the challenges Miranda faces amid the decline of traditional magazine publishing, while Andy's new path remains a mystery that unfolds in this continuation.

The movie, directed again by David Frankel with Aline Brosh McKenna as screenwriter, is highly anticipated and scheduled to hit theaters on May 1, 2026.
