Meryl Streep reprises her legendary role as Miranda Priestly in the official trailer for The Devil Wears Prada 2, reuniting the original cast nearly two decades after the 2006 hit.
Anne Hathaway returns as Andy Sachs, alongside Emily Blunt as Emily Charlton and Stanley Tucci as Nigel Kipling, bringing back the sharp dynamics of the original Runway Magazine world. The trailer opens with the declaration that “Runway. It’s not just a magazine. It’s a global icon.” Director David Frankel and writer Aline Brosh McKenna helm the project, guiding the ensemble through New York’s fashionable streets and sleek offices. Produced by Wendy Finerman, with executive producers Michael Bederman, Karen Rosenfelt, and McKenna, the film promises a fresh take on the cultural phenomenon. It arrives exclusively in theaters on May 1, 2026, teasing familiar tensions and new ambitions.
The footage captures a “winding road that brings us back. Together again,” highlighting Miranda’s commanding presence amid evolving industry pressures. New characters join the fray, including Kenneth Branagh, Simone Ashley, Justin Theroux, Lucy Liu, Patrick Brammall, Caleb Hearon, Helen J. Shen, Pauline Chalamet, B.J. Novak, and Conrad Ricamora. Tracie Thoms and Tibor Feldman reprise their roles as Lily and Irv from the first film. Tense exchanges unfold, such as a newcomer claiming, “I am the new features editor at Runway,” only for Miranda to retort, “No, you are not.” Andy notes Emily’s newfound confidence, quipping about her unchanged eyebrows. Industry sources note the sequel’s nod to the original’s enduring legacy.
Released under 20th Century Studios, the trailer builds anticipation with iconic callbacks and high-stakes drama. Miranda’s dry wit shines in lines like “Where was I?” during a confrontation over past Runway overlaps. Emily’s promotion sparks friction, underscoring power shifts in the glossy magazine realm. According to insiders, the script weaves nostalgia with contemporary fashion challenges. The ensemble’s return after almost 20 years fuels buzz among fans and professionals alike. Expect sharp dialogue and visual flair when The Devil Wears Prada 2 hits screens next spring.
