Cooper Hood is the Associate Editor for all new movie releases, in theaters and on streaming. In addition to writing articles about these titles and upcoming releases, he also oversees content planning for each, ensuring that ScreenRant continues to cover major releases for months after their release.

He has written various reviews for ScreenRant that appear on Rotten Tomatoes, coordinated Oscars and San Diego Comic-Con coverage, appeared on CNN to talk about Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning, and done select interviews with talent over the years.

After 20 years of waiting for a sequel, The Devil Wears Prada 2 finally continues the fashion franchise headlined by Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep. They are back as Andy Sachs and Miranda Priestley for a fresh story, one that reunites the former assistant and Runway editor-in-chief after going their separate ways decades prior.

But what viewers are sure to wonder as The Devil Wears Prada 2's ending comes is whether they need to stick around for any special surprises. Hollywood has spent decades nearly conditioning audiences to expect franchise films to include something in the credits, whether that comes as a post-credits scene setting up the next installment, a comedic bit, or even an audio-only tag.

Now that The Devil Wears Prada is officially the latest in a long line of Disney movies continuing Fox film franchises, some may be surprised to discover that there is no post-credits scene. ScreenRant can confirm the lack of any bonus scene happening in the middle or at the end of the credits. But that doesn't mean you should immediately get up from your seats once the credits start rolling.

Rather than include an after-credits scene teeing up The Devil Wears Prada 3 or even a special look at the film's many magnificent outfits, The Devil Wears Prada 2's credits include an original song written and produced exclusively for the movie. And it's performed by none other than multi-Grammy-winning pop star Lady Gaga.

Why You Should Stay For The Devil Wears Prada 2 Credits

As the credits roll, anyone who sticks around to watch them will hear a brand new Lady Gaga song called "Glamorous Life." Her power ballad is all about fame and whether someone can really be themselves while in the spotlight. It's a song that is not only surely personal for Gaga, but also connects directly with the themes of The Devil Wears Prada 2.

"Glamorous Life" is one of 13 songs featured on the official The Devil Wears Prada 2 soundtrack, with it earning the third placement on the track list, even though it's the last one heard in the movie. Gaga contributes two additional songs, "Shape of a Woman" and "RUNWAY" with Doechii. The former comes as part of Lady Gaga's cameo as herself in The Devil Wears Prada 2.

The movie choosing Lady Gaga to perform the closing song and play a significant role in the movie's sound overall is not surprising. Fashion has always been a signature part of the artist's career, with her outfits on and off-stage always leaving an impression. There is also an extensive history of Lady Gaga making great movie original songs, such as for A Star Is Born and Top Gun: Maverick.

While you can listen to "Glamorous Life" on music streaming platforms now, listening to it right after The Devil Wears Prada 2 ends is fitting. It's a great song with meaningful lyrics that make it work as a strong coda to Andy and Miranda's story. Gaga really brought her A-game to the track, so what better way to listen to it than with a theater-grade sound system?

Does The Devil Wears Prada 2 Set Up A Third Movie?

With The Devil Wears Prada 2 opting out of a traditional post-credits scene, any setup for a third film is kept within the movie's sub-2-hour runtime. Overall, the sequel leaves Andy, Miranda, and the rest of the Runway team in a happy place. The door remains cracked open for another movie, but there is also no clear story reason why it must happen.

Just as the original movie wrapped up its story but didn't make it impossible for more, the sequel has done the same. Whether The Devil Wears Prada 3 happens will depend on how much interest there is in this series continuing rather than pressure to pay off teases for future installments.

Disney will certainly want another movie if The Devil Wears Prada 2's box office returns are as promising as expected. Whether director David Frankel and writer Aline Brosh McKenna have any ideas for The Devil Wears Prada 3 could also be a determining factor, as could whether Hathaway, Streep, and others agree to do another.

Since The Devil Wears Prada 2 doesn't explicitly set up another movie, Disney can take its time figuring out what the best next step is. Leaving it as a strong two-part story could prove to be the right decision, unless there's a major fashion-related development that this franchise can't help but explore.
