Anne Hathaway is currently making waves with her radiant smiles and striking new fashion choices on the set of The Devil Wears Prada 2, the much-anticipated sequel to the beloved 2006 film. The Oscar-winning actress reprises her role as Andy Sachs, showcasing her talent and style while filming in the vibrant streets of New York City, particularly in the bustling Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan.
The original Devil Wears Prada movie debuted in 2006 and quickly became a cultural phenomenon, grossing an impressive $326 million worldwide. The film not only captivated audiences but also earned Meryl Streep a prestigious Oscar nomination for Best Actress. The storyline follows Hathaway’s character, Andy Sachs, an aspiring journalist who becomes the personal assistant to the formidable Miranda Priestly, played by Streep, the ruthless editor-in-chief of the fashion magazine Runway.
Fans of the original film have long expressed their desire for a sequel to The Devil Wears Prada. However, the cast has been somewhat cautious over the years regarding the idea. In a 2022 appearance on The View, Hathaway mentioned that while the idea of a sequel was “tempting,” it may not be feasible due to the evolution of the media landscape. “I don’t know if there can be,” she remarked, highlighting the significant changes in how media is consumed today.
Joining Hathaway in The Devil Wears Prada 2 are original cast members, including Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci. Additionally, Tracie Thoms, who portrayed Andy’s best friend Lily, and Tibor Feldman, who played the chairman of Runway’s parent company, will reprise their roles. The reunion also includes director David Frankel and screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna, making this sequel a nostalgic gathering for the cast and crew.
While specific plot details for The Devil Wears Prada 2 remain under wraps, Hathaway’s character, Andy, left Runway to pursue a career at a major New York City newspaper at the end of the first film. The sequel is rumored to explore Miranda’s challenges as she adapts to the declining magazine publishing industry. This includes a showdown with Blunt’s character, who has transitioned from being an assistant to a powerful luxury executive, holding the advertising dollars that Miranda desperately needs.
New additions to the cast of The Devil Wears Prada 2 include Kenneth Branagh, who will portray Miranda Priestly’s husband, alongside Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, B.J. Novak, and Pauline Chalamet, who are set to take on undisclosed roles. The film will also feature Broadway talents like Helen J. Shen (“Maybe Happy Ending”) and Conrad Ricamora (“Oh, Mary!”), as well as comedian Caleb Hearon.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 is scheduled to be released in theaters on May 1, 2026, under the banner of 20th Century Studios and Disney. As fans eagerly await this reunion of iconic characters and the continuation of a beloved story, excitement is building for what promises to be a fashionable and dramatic sequel.
Stay tuned for more updates and sneak peeks from the set as the production of The Devil Wears Prada 2 continues in the heart of New York City.
