Production is officially underway for The Devil Wears Prada 2, reuniting Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci, with Kenneth Branagh joining the sequel.
The fashion is back—and so is Miranda Priestly. Production is now underway on The Devil Wears Prada 2, the long-awaited sequel to the 2006 hit, with Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci all officially returning, Disney confirmed Monday. The newest addition to the cast? Oscar-winner Kenneth Branagh, who joins the film as Priestly’s estranged husband.

Directed by David Frankel and written once again by Aline Brosh McKenna, the sequel picks up in a radically different media landscape, with Miranda Priestly reportedly navigating the decline of print publishing. While full plot details are under wraps, early reports suggest the film will revisit the core dynamics that made the original iconic, only this time, the stakes are existential, not just for the characters, but for the industry they rule.
Branagh’s casting adds a new wrinkle to Priestly’s personal life. In the original, Streep’s steely editor briefly references trouble at home—now, audiences will see that conflict play out on screen.
Released exactly 19 years ago today on June 30, 2006, The Devil Wears Prada became a box office juggernaut and a defining fashion film of the era, grossing over $326 million globally. It earned Streep an Oscar nomination and cemented Miranda Priestly’s icy authority in the cultural canon. The sequel’s announcement on its anniversary only amplifies the full-circle moment, especially with the original cast—and its original director and screenwriter—reunited.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 is produced by Wendy Finerman, who also produced the original.
No word yet on whether Simon Baker or Adrian Grenier will reprise their roles, but the original creative team’s return suggests a faithful evolution.
