Anne Hathaway reprises her role as Andy Sachs in the highly anticipated sequel ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2‘, set to be released in 2026.
Anne Hathaway surprised the world by unveiling the first official image of her return as Andy Sachs in ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2‘, the much-awaited follow-up to the iconic 2006 film. The photograph, shared by both the actress and 20th Century Studios on social media, sparked an enthusiastic response from fans and significantly raised expectations for the project.
The new instalment will once again feature original stars Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci, with David Frankel returning as director and Aline Brosh McKenna as screenwriter — the same creative team behind the original success. While plot details remain under wraps, the image shows Hathaway in a contemporary setting, accompanied by the caption “Andy Sachs 2025”, hinting at a modern-day update to the character nearly two decades after her on-screen debut.
The original story followed Andy, a young journalist who lands a job as the personal assistant to Miranda Priestly, the formidable editor of the fashion magazine Runway. At the end of that film, Andy makes the bold decision to leave the superficial fashion world to pursue serious journalism in New York. In the sequel, it is expected that her character will face new professional and personal challenges, in a time where the publishing industry is struggling to adapt to the digital age.
According to recent reports, the new storyline will explore how Miranda Priestly tries to maintain her influence in an industry in decline. It is rumoured that her new rival will be Emily (Blunt), who is now a powerful executive at a luxury conglomerate controlling major advertising budgets — critical for the survival of magazines like Runway.
The cast is being expanded to include acclaimed actors such as Kenneth Branagh, who will portray Miranda Priestly’s husband, along with Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, B.J. Novak, and Pauline Chalamet — their roles yet to be revealed. Theatre figures like Helen J. Shen and Conrad Ricamora also join the film, along with comedian Caleb Hearon. Tracie Thoms and Tibor Feldman reprise their original roles, bringing continuity to a story that defined a generation.
‘The Devil Wears Prada 2‘ is officially set to premiere on 1 May 2026, distributed by 20th Century Studios and Disney. With a stellar cast and a storyline poised to resonate with today’s evolving fashion and media industries, this sequel is shaping up to be one of the most eagerly awaited cinematic releases of the year.
