Contents

Gird your loins, because it’s finally happening. After nearly two decades of rumors, speculation, and the cast playing coy, a sequel to the iconic 2006 film The Devil Wears Prada is officially in production. As of December 2025, the highly anticipated film, tentatively titled The Devil Wears Prada 2, has a confirmed release date and a star-studded cast that includes the return of the original core four and a host of major new A-list talent. This is not a drill: Miranda Priestly is back, and she’s facing her biggest professional challenge yet, with Andy Sachs and Emily Charlton by her side.

The sequel news, which was officially confirmed in the summer of 2024, has set the fashion and film worlds ablaze. The original cast members have all signed on, and new additions promise to bring a fresh, modern edge to the unforgiving world of high fashion journalism. Here is the complete, up-to-date breakdown of the confirmed cast, the new faces joining the fold, and the exciting plot details that will define the next chapter of the *Runway* universe.

The Original Cast: Who Is Officially Returning for The Sequel?

The biggest hurdle for any legacy sequel is reuniting the original stars. Fortunately for fans, The Devil Wears Prada 2 has successfully secured the return of the four main actors whose chemistry made the first film a cultural phenomenon. Their involvement ensures the sequel will maintain the sharp wit and emotional depth that defined the original. The film is currently set for release in 2026.

  • Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly: The legendary actress will reprise her Oscar-nominated role as the terrifying, powerful, and impeccably dressed Editor-in-Chief of *Runway* Magazine.
  • Anne Hathaway as Andrea "Andy" Sachs: Hathaway returns as the once-naïve assistant who walked away from her job and her flip phone. The sequel will explore where Andy’s career has taken her since leaving Elias-Clarke.
  • Emily Blunt as Emily Charlton: Blunt is back as the Senior Assistant whose loyalty to Miranda is only matched by her disdain for carbs. Fans are eager to see Emily's new, undoubtedly elevated, position in the fashion world.
  • Stanley Tucci as Nigel Kipling: The heart of the original film, Tucci is confirmed to return as the kind, cynical, and highly talented Art Director, Nigel.
  • Tracie Thoms as Lily: Andy’s friend from the original film is also confirmed to reprise her role, likely offering a grounded perspective outside the fashion bubble.
  • Tibor Feldman as Irv Ravitz: The executive from Elias-Clarke who oversaw *Runway* is also set to return.

Notably, Adrian Grenier, who played Andy’s chef boyfriend Nate in the first film, is reportedly not returning for the sequel. This decision aligns with the sequel’s focus on Andy's professional growth and the introduction of a new love interest.

The Shocking New Plot: Miranda Priestly Faces Decline

The sequel will reportedly not be based on Lauren Weisberger’s 2013 novel, Revenge Wears Prada, but will instead feature an entirely new, modern storyline. The core conflict centers on Miranda Priestly navigating a massive, existential threat to her empire.

The plot details suggest that Miranda will be dealing with the decline of traditional print media and the rise of digital platforms and social media influencers. This new landscape threatens *Runway*'s dominance and, by extension, Miranda's power. The film is expected to explore the clash between old-guard fashion authority and the fast-paced, often chaotic, world of modern digital content creation.

This setting provides the perfect opportunity for Andy Sachs, who may now be a successful journalist or editor in her own right, to cross paths with Miranda again, perhaps as a competitor, a collaborator, or even a savior in the face of a rapidly changing industry. The stakes are higher than ever, moving beyond a simple assistant-boss dynamic to a battle for the soul of the fashion world.

The New Faces: A-List Stars Joining the *Runway* Cast

To tackle the modern challenges of the fashion industry, the sequel is bringing in a powerhouse ensemble of new actors, many of whom are expected to play rivals, digital media moguls, or new employees at Elias-Clarke. These additions are crucial for building the film's topical authority and addressing contemporary themes.

The confirmed new cast members include:

A Complete List of New Confirmed Cast Members

  • Lucy Liu: A major addition, Liu is confirmed to be joining the cast in a significant role. Given her stature, speculation is that she could be playing a rival editor, a powerful media executive, or a new owner of the Elias-Clarke publishing house.
  • Justin Theroux: Theroux has been cast in a role that he has teased as being "fun." He is widely rumored to be Andy Sachs' new love interest, replacing the character of Nate.
  • B.J. Novak: Known for his work on The Office, Novak’s casting suggests a role with a comedic or tech-savvy edge, possibly a digital media guru or a consultant brought in to "modernize" *Runway*.
  • Simone Ashley: The star of Bridgerton has joined the cast, suggesting a role that could tap into the world of social media influence, digital content, or a new, young assistant in the *Runway* office.
  • Pauline Chalamet: The actress, and sister of Timothée Chalamet, is another confirmed new addition. Her role is currently undisclosed but may involve the new generation of fashion talent.
  • Kenneth Branagh: A highly respected actor and director, Branagh's involvement suggests a serious, high-level executive role, perhaps the CEO of Elias-Clarke or a major figure in the international fashion scene.

The addition of these stars—including Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, B.J. Novak, and Simone Ashley—ensures that the sequel will be a major cinematic event. Their roles are expected to create new dynamics with the original characters, particularly between Andy Sachs and Emily Charlton, as they navigate the shifting sands of the fashion industry.

Topical Authority: The Sequel's Modern Fashion Entities

The original film was a commentary on early 2000s fashion and media. The sequel is set to update this commentary by integrating key modern entities and themes, providing a fresh, relevant narrative for today's audience. The central theme of Miranda Priestly battling the "decline" of print media naturally introduces several new topical entities:

  • Digital Media Disruption: The threat to *Runway* will come from online publications, which will likely be personified by a new character.
  • Social Media Influencers: Expect a storyline involving the power and controversy of influencers, a world Miranda Priestly would undoubtedly despise.
  • Fast Fashion vs. High Fashion: The sequel will likely explore the tension between sustainable, ethical couture and the rapid production cycle of fast fashion.
  • The Met Gala: Given the film's New York setting and focus on high fashion, a major event like the Met Gala could serve as a spectacular set piece.
  • The Return of David Frankel: The original director, David Frankel, is confirmed to be returning, which is a key entity for maintaining the film’s original tone and visual style.
  • Aline Brosh McKenna: The original screenwriter is also expected to return, ensuring the sequel's script has the same sharp dialogue and wit.

With Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci leading a cast that includes Lucy Liu and Justin Theroux, The Devil Wears Prada 2 is poised to be one of the biggest cinematic events of the coming years. The production is underway, and fans can look forward to seeing Miranda Priestly, Andy Sachs, and Emily Charlton grace the big screen once more in 2026.
