Produktion
I december 2008, bekræftede Stiller at han gerne vil lave en en fortsættelse til Zoolander, og sagde: "I’ve been trying to get Zoolander 2 together and we’ve had a few scripts. I feel that is the sequel I really would like to do some day because I like the original and I would make sure it was something new and worthy of it first." Da han blev interviewet i Friday Night with Jonathan Ross den 15. maj i 2009, sagde Stiller at han kiggede på forskellige manuskripter. I februar 2010, blev Justin Theroux, der var medforfatter på Tropic Thunder med Stiller, hyret til at skrive og instruere fortsættelsen. Måneden efter bekræftede Stiller at han ville medforfatte manuskriptet og bekræftede: "We're in the process of getting a script written, so it's in the early stages. But yeah, it's going to happen." At some later, unspecified point, Stiller had taken over as director. i The Tonight Show with Jay Leno den 17. december i 2010 sagde Owen Wilsonen Zoolander-opfølger højst sandsynligt ville blive gjort, muligvis med titlen Twolander.

I januar 2011, bekræftede Stiller at manuskriptet var fuldført og beskrev plottet som: "It’s ten years later and most of it is set in Europe... it’s basically Derek and Hansel... though the last movie ended on a happy note a lot of things have happened in the meantime. Their lives have changed and they’re not really relevant anymore. It’s a new world for them. Will Ferrell is written into the script and he’s expressed interest in doing it. I think Mugatu is an integral part of the Zoolander story, so yes, he features in a big way.” I juli 2012, beskrev Stiller en vanskelig udviklings-process: "We have a script, as we’ve had for a little while, and it’s not quite coming together right now but I hope it does. I would like to do it at some point in the future." I september 2014, sagde Ferrell om opfølgeren: "We are actually supposed to do a read-through of a sequel script soon, and Mugatu is a part of it."

Den 20. november 20, 2014, sluttede Penélope Cruz sig til de medvirkende, og den 29. januar, 2015, blev Christine Taylor hyret til at genoptage sin rolle som Matilda Jeffries. Den 9. februar 9, 2015, blev optagelserne fastslået til at begynde i Rom's Cinecittà studios foråret 2015. Den 10. marts, 2015, optrådte Stiller og i Paris Fashion Week i rollerne som Derek Zoolander og Hansel McDonald. Den samme dag annoncerede Paramount at Zoolander 2 ville blive udgivet den 12. februar, 2016. On April 21, 2015, Fred Armisen joined the cast. Principal photography began in April 2015.
