Gird your loins! She's coming!
The Devil Wears Prada 2 has finally arrived and we couldn’t be more excited. The sequel will see Andy return to Runway as Miranda attempts to keep the magazine afloat in an increasingly perilous media landscape, with the fashion world and print journalism both fighting for survival. It features plenty of returning characters alongside a wave of exciting new faces who will shake up the status quo.
One person who is no longer at Runway, however, is Emily. Emily Blunt’s character is now the head of a luxury brand and holds the keys to serious commercial power, something that could prove crucial to Runway’s survival and may blur the lines between ally and rival.
Grab something cerulean, because it’s hitting cinemas in style and promises a sharper, more high-stakes world than ever before. Here’s everything you need to know about the release of The Devil Wears Prada 2.
When is The Devil Wears Prada 2 released?
The much-awaited and hyped sequel is due to be released in cinemas on 1 May 2026. A film of this size will usually run for several weeks, although expect some sold-out screenings at the start!
Where can you watch The Devil Wears Prada 2?
We're definitely planning to catch The Devil Wears Prada 2 in cinemas when it comes out, as it'll be a moment to rival Barbie, but we'll want to watch it again…and again. Will The Devil Wears Prada 2 come out on Netflix? Unlikely, as the film is helmed by Disney. It'll likely appear on Disney+ in the UK, and Hulu elsewhere, although nothing is confirmed yet.
Is there a trailer for The Devil Wears Prada 2?
Watch The Devil Wears Prada 2 trailer to get ready for the film.
The clip features plenty of familiar faces, and also gives us our first glimpse of Simone Ashley’s mysterious new character.
In the scene, Meryl Streep’s Miranda is in full, scathing form while reviewing the latest photos for Runway, asking Andy whether “the models were encouraged to mill around like starving goats in the parking lot of a methadone clinic in New Jersey.”
As she delivers the line, Ashley’s character interrupts with a pointed throat-clear to get Miranda’s attention.
“What? What am I not allowed to say? Methadone? New Jersey?” Miranda quips in response, suggesting Ashley’s character may be tasked with gently stopping the editor-in-chief from saying anything too offensive.
We’re sure Miranda absolutely adores that.
The Devil Wears Prada sequel cast
Along with the movie's previous stars Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci, it has been announced that both Bridgerton's Simone Ashley and Charlie's Angels star Lucy Liu will be joining the sequel's cast.
