Two decades after revolutionizing fashion cinema, the iconic trio of Miranda Priestly’s world is poised for a dramatic return. 20th Century Studios has unveiled the inaugural trailer for ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2,’ confirming the highly anticipated reunion of Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt in a sequel scheduled for theatrical debut on May 1, 2026.
The narrative thrusts Streep’s formidable Miranda Priestly into the turbulent waters of modern media, where the venerable Runway magazine editor confronts the precipitous decline of print journalism. This installment captures Priestly at her most vulnerable yet determined, battling to preserve both relevance and financial solvency within an industry undergoing radical digital transformation.
Adding compelling tension to the storyline, Emily Blunt reemerges as Emily Charlton—formerly Priestly’s assistant, now transformed into a powerful executive at a luxury conglomerate. Anne Hathaway simultaneously reprises her career-defining role as Andrea Sachs, though her current professional standing remains strategically shrouded in mystery, preserving narrative intrigue.
The creative architecture remains firmly rooted in the original’s success, with director David Frankel and screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna reuniting alongside producer Wendy Finerman. The ensemble expands significantly with both returning favorites and prestigious newcomers, including Stanley Tucci, Kenneth Branagh, and musical icon Lady Gaga in unspecified roles.
This sequel builds upon extraordinary foundations: the 2006 original achieved monumental success with $326 million in global box office revenue while establishing itself as an enduring cultural benchmark. The forthcoming chapter promises to explore evolving power dynamics, generational shifts in the fashion industry, and the complex relationships that made the initial film resonate across audiences worldwide.
