The sequel to the 2006 film is coming out in less than a year, and fans are thrilled to know that The Devil Wears Prada 2 is set for a May 1, 2026 release date.
Multiple outlets have confirmed the release date, which is less than a sequel that has yet to officially confirm its cast. The original film starred Meryl Streep as the powerful Miranda Priestly, 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.
The plot will reportedly follow Streep's Miranda 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.
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.
In February 2024, Streep, Blunt, and Hathaway excited fans when they reunited to present at the 30th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards.
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."
And Blunt seemingly confirmed the project in December while speaking to the crowd at the Red Sea International Film Festival. "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."
