Prepare yourselves for a thrilling return to the glitzy realm of fashion and fierce workplace dynamics! Yes, you read that right—Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway are set to reprise their iconic roles in "The Devil Wears Prada 2," coming to theaters on May 1, 2026.
After two decades since the original film captivated audiences, 20th Century Studios has just unveiled an enticing new trailer that gives us a sneak peek into this highly anticipated sequel.
In "The Devil Wears Prada 2," we will once again follow Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly, the formidable editor-in-chief of Runway magazine. This time around, she grapples with the challenges posed by the dwindling print journalism industry, struggling to adapt in a rapidly changing world. Complicating her already tumultuous life is a rivalry with her former assistant, played by Emily Blunt, who has now ascended to the rank of a high-powered executive at a luxury firm that holds the crucial advertising funds Priestly desperately needs. But here's where it gets controversial: how will these two strong-willed women navigate their renewed competition in an industry that seems to be leaving them behind?
The original "Devil Wears Prada" followed the journey of Andrea Sachs, portrayed by Hathaway, a fresh college graduate trying to establish her career in journalism amid the hustle and bustle of New York City. As she takes on the role of junior assistant to Miranda Priestly, Andrea finds herself torn between her ambitions and her personal relationships, leading to significant sacrifices. The film was a massive success, amassing over $326 million globally and earning critical acclaim.
Fans will be delighted to see returning cast members, including Stanley Tucci, Tracie Thoms, and Tibor Feldman. Joining them are notable new faces such as Simone Ashley, Lucy Liu, B.J. Novak, Justin Theroux, Lady Gaga, and Pauline Chalamet, alongside Broadway talents Helen J. Shen and Conrad Ricamora, as well as comedian Caleb Hearon. However, it’s worth noting that Adrian Grenier, who played Andrea's boyfriend Nate in the original, will not be making a comeback.
Once again, David Frankel, who directed the iconic 2006 film, teams up with Aline Brosh McKenna, the original screenwriter, to bring this sequel to life, along with producer Wendy Finerman. The film is set to be executive produced by Michael Bederman, Karen Rosenfelt, and McKenna herself.
So, mark your calendars for May 1, 2026, and prepare for a blend of nostalgia and fresh drama as "The Devil Wears Prada 2" makes its grand debut. What are your expectations for this sequel? Do you think it can capture the magic of the first film? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
