Meryl Streep has added her name to the list of returning to play Miranda Priestly in The Devil Wears Prada 2, and this has got the fashion world excited once again about one of the most iconic characters in fashion film. This was affirmed through an Instagram post, which stated that Miranda will return, after it was reported that Disney and 20th Century Studios are proceeding with the much-anticipated sequel.
The sequel returns to the world of Runway magazine when traditional media is finding it difficult to survive in an ever-changing digital environment. Initial shots indicate that Miranda is still shrewd, exacting, and unapologetically strong- but oddly out of touch with her history.
Trailer Reveals Old Faces and New Shifts of Power
The initial trailer, which was launched in the first weeks of February 2026, sees Streep reprise full Miranda mode. Her cold command is on the screen as she goes through a falling popularity in the fashion industry. One of the most notable scenes is seen as Miranda not acknowledging Andy Sachs and rejecting her as being a mere one of the Emmys, a statement that has elicited a sharp fan response.
As the trailer affirms, Anne Hathaway returns as Andy Sachs, Emily Blunt as Emily Charlton, who has become an executive in the luxury industry, and Stanley Tucci as Nigel. The hints are dynamic and suggest the tension and the shifted power roles that have not been resolved in the initial film.
Plot concentrates on a thousand and one Shifting Fashion Media World.
As opposed to the first one that comes after Andy joins fashion journalism, the second one revolves around the plight of Miranda, who is trying to be relevant. Runway magazine is experiencing a decrease in readership, online disruption and internal rivalry. The role of Andy looks more distant and self-assured, and it seems that she does not need the approval of Miranda anymore.
Both screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna and director David Frankel have come back to maintain consistency in the continuation of tone and character.
Name and Date of release and Studio
Produced under Disney, 20th Century Studios will release The Devil Wears Prada 2 in theatres on May 1, 2026. Cast interviews and photos on-set refer to the reunion as being nostalgic, yet based on the realities of the industry in the present-day world.
