Fashion's most iconic villain is making a grand return to the silver screen. Nearly two decades after the original film captivated audiences, the first teaser trailer for The Devil Wears Prada 2 has officially debuted, sending fans into a frenzy of anticipation.
Who's Returning for the Sequel?
The teaser confirms that the principal cast from the beloved 2006 film will reprise their roles. Meryl Streep returns as the formidable Miranda Priestly, spotted in the brief clip stalking through the office in a pair of striking red Valentino Rockstud heels. Anne Hathaway is back as Andy Sachs, sharing an elevator with her former boss in a moment that hints at their complex dynamic.
Joining them is Emily Blunt as the harried assistant Emily Charlton. The creative team behind the original, including director David Frankel and screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna, are also returning. Stanley Tucci will once again play the beloved art director Nigel.
In an exciting new addition to the cast, Kenneth Branagh is set to star as Miranda Priestly's husband. However, one character notably absent will be Nate, Andy's boyfriend from the first film.
What Could The Plot Involve?
While specific details about the film's narrative remain closely guarded, initial reports and the source material provide compelling clues. The sequel is thought to draw inspiration from author Lauren Weisberger's 2013 book, "Revenge Wears Prada: The Devil Returns".
In the novel, set a decade after the original, Andy Sachs is now a successful 30-year-old editor at a bridal magazine she launched with her former rival, Emily. Just as Andy's career and personal life are thriving, her path crosses once more with Miranda Priestly when the publishing company behind Runway magazine seeks to acquire Andy's publication.
However, the film adaptation may chart its own course. Early suggestions indicate the movie could focus on Miranda navigating the decline of traditional print media, while Emily has transformed into a high-powered executive at a luxury group. This setup could see Miranda seeking advertising revenue from her former assistant.
Release Details and How to Watch
The teaser trailer offers just a tantalising glimpse of what's to come, but it strongly suggests that Miranda and Andy will find themselves working together again, however reluctantly. The production has already generated significant buzz, with photos of the characters' covetable outfits from New York filming locations repeatedly going viral.
Fans won't have to wait too much longer to see the full story unfold. The Devil Wears Prada 2 is scheduled for release on Friday, 1 May 2026.
The original film, based on Weisberger's 2003 bestselling novel, was loosely inspired by the author's own experiences as a personal assistant to Vogue editor Anna Wintour. While Wintour has claimed no memory of Weisberger working for her, the connection has become part of Hollywood legend.
