Devil Wears Prada 2 goes into production: Catch its West End musical before the film drops

Devil Wears Prada 2 is officially in production, and here is why now’s the time for you to see its stage adaptation on the West End!

Gird your loins! Nearly two decades after it became a fashion-film phenomenon, The Devil Wears Prada is officially getting a sequel. With Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci all returning to reprise their iconic roles, the upcoming film has the internet buzzing and nostalgia at an all-time high. But before the movie hits cinemas in May 2026, fashionistas and fans of Miranda Priestly’s icy quips can get their fix on the West End—where The Devil Wears Prada: The Musical is now strutting its stuff live on stage, in London's Dominion theatre.

Meryl, Anne, and Emily return, and so does the drama

Slated for release on 1 May 2026, The Devil Wears Prada 2 picks up with Miranda Priestly navigating the decline of traditional publishing. As the icy editor courts advertising revenue from her former assistant Emily, now a high-flying luxury brand exec, sparks are sure to fly.

The original creative team is back too. Director David Frankel, screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna, and producer Wendy Finerman reunite with the powerhouse cast. New additions include Kenneth Branagh, playing Miranda’s husband, though Adrian Grenier (aka the divisive boyfriend Nate) won’t return. The film is rumoured to loosely follow Lauren Weisberger’s 2013 sequel novel Revenge Wears Prada, with fresh storylines added for a more contemporary take.

Why you should catch the musical on the West End now

While the sequel brews behind the scenes, The Devil Wears Prada: The Musical is dazzling at London’s Dominion Theatre. With a score by none other than Elton John and a fashion-forward design that would earn Miranda’s nod of approval, the stage adaptation brings the biting humour and high-stakes glamour to life in song and spectacle.

The musical delves deeper into Andy’s inner conflict between ambition and identity, while also reimagining Miranda for a modern audience. It’s the perfect prelude to the upcoming film — or a fabulous standalone experience for fashion and theatre lovers alike.

With The Devil Wears Prada 2 officially in production and the musical taking over the West End, fans have more than one runway to revisit Runway. Whether on stage or screen, Miranda is ready to command your attention, so don’t be late.“That’s all.”
