Production Background
In 2013, Lauren Weisberger wrote a sequel titled Revenge Wears Prada: The Devil Returns. For a long time, a film sequel seemed unlikely as the two lead stars showed little enthusiasm. Meryl Streep reportedly stated she wasn't interested in making a sequel, while Anne Hathaway mentioned she would be interested in working with the same team, but it would have to be "something completely different."
However, in July 2024, it was reported that Walt Disney Studios—the parent division of 20th Century Studios—was interested in developing a sequel. Negotiations began that July with Aline Brosh McKenna returning to write the screenplay, alongside Streep, Hathaway, Blunt, and Tucci reprising their original roles.
Principal photography began on June 30, 2025, with David Frankel returning to direct and Kenneth Branagh joining the cast. In July, it was announced that Tracie Thoms and Tibor Feldman would return, with Simone Ashley, Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, B.J. Novak, Pauline Chalamet, Rachel Bloom, and Patrick Brammall joining the ensemble.
Streep, Hathaway, and Tucci were spotted filming in New York City during the week of July 21st. Blunt was seen for the first time a week later. Brammall and Hathaway were spotted filming together on August 5th, while Sydney Sweeney was seen on set with Blunt on August 7th. A pivotal airport scene was filmed in Newark on September 10, 2025.
Tucci and Streep filmed at Dolce & Gabbana’s Milan Fashion Week event on September 27th. Filming continued in Milan, Italy, from October 6 to 18. During October, Donatella Versace was spotted on set for a cameo appearance, while Lady Gaga was announced to have a role in the film.
Simone Ashley wrapped her scenes on October 17, 2025. Filming officially concluded on October 20, 2025. In November 2025, Caleb Hearon, Helen J. Shen, and Conrad Ricamora were also announced as part of the cast.
Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci return in The Devil Wears Prada 2, in theaters May 1st. Watch the full trailer now.
