It's official ... Miranda Priestly is back! And no, it's not a dream soaked in Chanel n°5. Nearly twenty years after tyrannizing frumpy assistants, the Devil is making a comeback... on the big screen. Since June 30, 2025, the cameras have been rolling in New York, sending fans into a frenzy. Five-star casting, synopsis, release date... here's everything we know about this long-awaited second opus.
Make a note of it in your diaries - The rumor has been circulating since July 2024, and now it's confirmed in black and white: The Devil Wears Prada 2 will be released in French cinemas on April 29, 2026. A long-awaited return, orchestrated by Disney's 20th Century Studios, with the same team at the helm: David Frankel as director, Aline Brosh McKenna as scriptwriter - who penned the first film - and Wendy Finerman as producer. And contrary to what some fans might have thought, this sequel will not adapt the 2015 novel "Vengeance in Prada", but is based on a 100% original script, tailor-made for this comeback in stilettos. All the more reason to hope for a sequel that lives up to the hype.
No sequel without a dream team! Meryl Streep dons her icy leather gloves as Miranda Priestly, while Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt reprise their cult roles asAndrea Sachs andEmily Charlton. And let's not forget the irreplaceable Stanley Tucci, alias Nigel, the stylist with legendary flair.
But wait, the front row is getting bigger! Kenneth Branagh reprises his role as Miranda Priestly's husband, while Tracie Thoms (Andy Sachs' BFF, Lily) resurfaces. And because a fashion show without guests isn't the same, Variety confirms the arrival of Simone Ashley (Bridgerton), Lucy Liu (Kill Bill), Pauline Chalamet (The Sex Lives of College Girls), B.J. Novak (Vengeance), Justin Theroux (Mulholland Drive), Conrad Ricamora, Helen J. Shen, Caleb Hearon (Sam fait plus rire) and Rachel Bloom (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend). Special mention goes to Lady Gaga, who was spotted on set in Milan and is rumored to be playing either herself or a secondary character that is still being kept top secret.
On the romantic front, Nate (Adrian Grenier) and Christian (Simon Baker) are out. Andy's new love interest is likely to be Patrick Brammall (Glitch and Super Moms on Netflix).
The pitch? Runway is faltering, sales are collapsing, and the print media are sweating under its shoulder pads. Miranda, still head of the magazine, sees her reign threatened. Opposite her, Emily Charlton, the overworked ex-assistant, has stepped up to the plate and now heads a powerful luxury group, whose advertising budget is now crucial to Runway's survival.
Miranda vs Emily, round 2. A war of queens, in 15-inch heels, at the heart of a world where fashion is going digital and power is on the move. And where does Andrea Sachs fit in? Her role is still being kept secret, but we can already guess that she's no longer serving coffee. It remains to be seen which side of the ring she'll be on, and what she's become in this fast-changing fashion jungle.
If the first film crystallized the ambitions of the 2000s with music montages, BlackBerries and Fendi bags, this sequel is more rooted in contemporary issues. The traditional press is battling against algorithms, social networks are redrawing the rules of power, and fashion, for its part, is trying to survive in a world of scrolls and likes - where the devil has to adapt to stay in Prada.
A highly topical echo, all the more disturbing as it coincides with the departure of Anna Wintour, after37 years at the helm of Vogue. Thefashion papess who inspired Miranda Priestly's character is leaving the stage just as her fictional alter ego is re-emerging.
The first images from the shoot have already leaked, and the level of style is spot on - competition tailoring, luxury bags, and designer dresses twirling in the New York wind. The style is as formidable as ever.
See you on April 29, 2026, for the most chic, acidic and stylish comeback of the year.
That's all there is to it.
