Fans have been calling for Miranda Priestly’s return for years — and now, The Devil Wears Prada 2 is officially happening. With a new ensemble of performers joining some of the original stars, the sequel promises to deliver a fresh take while still honoring the iconic legacy of the original. Backed by Disney’s 20th Century Studios, the film is currently in production and set for a theatrical release on May 1, 2026.
For a movie that has long held a special place in the hearts of ambitious women across generations, the sequel’s cast is a fascinating blend of familiar faces and bold newcomers.
Who’s Returning — and Who’s Joining the Cast?
Yes, the core original cast is making a comeback — Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci are all reprising their beloved roles. But this time around, they’ll be joined by a dynamic new lineup that includes Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, B.J. Novak, and Pauline Chalamet — yes, the older sister of Timothée Chalamet.
Pauline Chalamet first appeared in Judd Apatow’s 2020 film The King of Staten Island, but truly rose to fame with her standout role in HBO Max’s The Sex Lives of College Girls, which premiered in 2021.
From seasoned Broadway stars to sharp-witted comedians, the sequel’s cast brings a new energy that could either be a bold success or stir debate among longtime fans. But one thing’s for sure: the fashion-forward world of Prada is gearing up for a grand comeback, and this cast list alone is enough to set social media buzzing.
