The Devil Wears Prada 2

The Devil Wears Prada 2 is the long‑awaited follow‑up to the 2006 hit, and it’s finally back on the big screen. With the tagline “Icons reign forever,” the film promises to keep the high‑fashion drama alive while adding a fresh twist to the familiar world of Runway magazine.

At its core, the story follows Andy Sachs as she re‑enters the whirlwind of Runway, now facing a new media landscape that threatens the magazine’s legacy. Miranda Priestly, still the fierce editor‑in‑chief, must navigate this shift while the duo reconnects with former assistant Emily, who’s now the head of a luxury brand that could provide the much‑needed funding to keep Runway afloat. The premise keeps the original charm—powerful personalities, sharp wit, and the relentless pace of the fashion industry—while hinting at modern challenges like digital media and brand partnerships.

The film brings back the beloved core cast: Meryl Streep as Miranda, Anne Hathaway as Andy, Emily Blunt as Emily Charlton, and Stanley Tucci as Nigel. They’re joined by a star‑studded lineup of new faces, including Justin Theroux, Kenneth Branagh, Simone Ashley, Lucy Liu, and Patrick Bramwell, among others. Even the cameo lineup is impressive, with Lady Gaga and Donatella Versace making appearances that add extra sparkle to the on‑screen spectacle.

Production wrapped up in October 2025 after a globe‑trotting shoot that spanned Manhattan, Milan, and Newark. Director David Frankel and writer Aline Brosh McKenna returned to helm the project, while the marketing team blew the roof off with a teaser that became the most‑viewed comedy trailer in 15 years—181.5 million views in the first 24 hours. The full trailer followed in February 2026, smashing 222 million views and setting a new studio record for 20th Century Studios.

Music fans will appreciate the original song “Runway,” performed by Lady Gaga and Doechii, which debuted in the second trailer and captures the film’s house‑pop vibe. The track’s release on April 9, 2026, added a fresh soundtrack element that complements the film’s stylish aesthetic.

Who will love this movie? Fans of the original film will be thrilled to see the familiar faces and the sharp, satirical take on the fashion world. Those who enjoy witty dialogue, high‑fashion set pieces, and a mix of drama and comedy will find plenty to enjoy. On the flip side, viewers who prefer a more grounded, realistic storyline might find the film’s glamorous, almost caricatured tone a bit too over the top.

From a financial perspective, the film had a $100 million budget and pulled in about $50.5 million at the box office—a modest return that reflects the niche appeal of a fashion‑centric comedy drama. The movie premiered at Lincoln Center in New York on April 20, 2026, with a live‑stream on Disney+ and Hulu, and also had a London premiere on April 22. The theatrical release in the United States followed on May 1, 2026, bringing the long‑awaited sequel to audiences across the country.
