In December 2008, Stiller confirmed he wanted to make a sequel to Zoolander, saying: "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."[28] When interviewed on the May 15, 2009 episode of Friday Night with Jonathan Ross, Stiller said he was looking at a number of scripts.[29] By February 2010, Justin Theroux, who also co-wrote Tropic Thunder with Stiller, was hired to write and direct the sequel.[30] By the following month, Stiller confirmed he would be co-writing the script, stating, "We're in the process of getting a script written, so it's in the early stages. But yeah, it's going to happen."[31] At some later, unspecified point, Stiller had taken over as director.[32] On the December 17, 2010 episode of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Owen Wilson said a Zoolander sequel would likely be made, tentatively titled Twolander.[33]

In January 2011, Stiller confirmed that the script had been completed, and described the plot: "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."[34] In July 2012, Stiller described a difficult development 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."[35] In September 2014, Ferrell said of the sequel, "We are actually supposed to do a read-through of a sequel script soon, and Mugatu is a part of it."[36][37]

By November 20, 2014, Penélope Cruz had joined the cast,[6] and by January 29, 2015, Christine Taylor was confirmed to reprise her role as Matilda Jeffries.[9] By February 9, 2015, it was announced filming was set to commence at Rome's Cinecittà studios in the spring of 2015.[38] On March 10, 2015, Stiller and Wilson appeared at the Paris Fashion Week in character as Derek Zoolander and Hansel McDonald.[39] On April 21, 2015, Fred Armisen joined the cast.[8]
