The announcement was made on Instagram by 20^th Century Studios, through a small teaser.

The Devil Wears Prada (2006) film was based on the 2004 novel by Lauren Weisberger. It follows the life of an aspiring journalist, Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway), who is hired as the assistant of Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep), the editor-in-chief of Runway magazine.

The book is said to be inspired by real-life events -- when Weisberger worked as an assistant to Anna Wintour at Vogue.

Besides the original cast returning for the sequel, Kenneth Branagh will join them as the husband of Streep’s Priestly.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 is set to hit the screens on May 1, 2026.
