The Devil Wears Prada 2 is adding some exciting new faces to its star-studded cast. The highly anticipated sequel, which is slated for a May 1, 2026 release date, began production last month with original cast members Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci all returning. Though the return of Runway magazine’s fabulous four was enough to excite fans, Variety revealed Tuesday that actors Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, B.J. Novak, and Pauline Chalamet will also be joining the upcoming sequel as well. While plot details have remained relatively under wraps, the sequel is confirmed to follow Streep’s smoldering Miranda Priestly as she tries to navigate her career amid a declining print industry. To make matters worse, Priestly’s former assistant Emily (played by Blunt) is now her rival and is working at a luxury group she’s desperate to cozy up to. Other stars reprising their roles from the first film include Tracie Thoms who played Lily, the best friend of Hathaway’s character Andy Sachs, and Tibor Feldman who played Irv Ravitz, the chairman of Runway’s parent company Elias-Clark. Helen J. Shen, Conrad Ricamora, and comedian Caleb Hearon join the new cast as well.
