‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ teaser sends fans into a frenzy

Nearly 20 years after leading audiences behind the velvet ropes of ‘Runway Magazine,’ Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway are set to reprise their iconic roles in ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2,’ and the first teaser has already sent fans into a nostalgic frenzy.

Released by 20th Century Studios this week, the short 52-second clip pays homage to the original film’s iconic elevator scene, set to Madonna’s ‘Vogue’. Streep’s Miranda Priestly greets Hathaway’s Andy Sachs with a dry “Took you long enough,” eliciting smiles and cool-wearing sunglasses from the former assistant.

The teaser offers little about the plot, but promises a sharp, style-inspired continuation of the original story. This time, the focus shifts to Miranda’s perspective as she navigates a world in which print journalism is in decline and the fashion industry faces a rapidly digitizing media landscape.

Emily Blunt returns as Emily Charlton, now a high-ranking executive for a luxury group, creating new tension with Priestly as she desperately searches for advertising revenue. Stanley Tucci also reprises his role as Nigel, rounding out the familiar faces of ‘Runway’.

The original cast includes fresh faces ready to shake up the fashion world on screen, including Kenneth Branagh as Miranda’s husband, Simone Ashley, Justin Theroux, Lucy Liu, Patrick Brammall, Caleb Hearon, Helen J Shen, Pauline Chalamet, BJ Novak and Conrad Ricamora.

Lady Gaga is also expected to appear, creating additional buzz ahead of the film’s theatrical release on May 1, 2026. Adrian Grenier, who played Andy’s love interest Nate in the first film, will not be returning.

Directed once again by David Frankel and written by Aline Brosh McKenna, the sequel reunites the original creative team, including producers Wendy Finerman and Karen Rosenfelt.

The film aims to retain the witty humor that defined the 2006 hit, which earned more than $326 million worldwide and established itself as a cultural touchstone for a generation fascinated by the intersection of fashion, ambition and power.

The original The Devil Wears Prada followed a young Andy Sachs as she struggled to balance a demanding career at Runway Magazine with her personal life under the relentless gaze of Miranda Priestly.

The sequel promises to continue exploring these dynamics but through a lens that reflects the fashion industry’s current upheaval as digital media reshapes how style, influence and careers are defined.

With its first teaser creating instant excitement online, fans and fashionistas alike are eagerly awaiting the return to the glittering halls and incredible boardrooms of Runway.

From the iconic stilettos to the clever dialogue, “The Devil Wears Prada 2” aims to capture both the nostalgia of the original and the challenges of a new era, offering a glimpse into a world where power, style and ambition are as glamorous – and ruthless – as ever.
