The heels are clicking, and the coats are being thrown. Nearly twenty years after she redefined the “boss from hell,” Meryl Streep is returning as the legendary Miranda Priestly in The Devil Wears Prada 2.
Set to premiere in theaters on May 1, 2026, the sequel finds the world of Runway magazine in a state of crisis. Print media is in decline, and Miranda is forced to navigate a digital landscape she once dismissed—all while fighting to keep her empire from crumbling.
A New Kind of Rivalry
In a brilliant twist of fate, the primary threat to Miranda isn’t a rival editor, but her former first assistant. Emily Blunt reprises her role as Emily Charlton, who has transformed into a high-powered executive at a luxury fashion conglomerate. Emily now controls the very advertising budgets Miranda desperately needs to survive, setting the stage for a ruthless power struggle between the former boss and employee.
Andy’s Return
Anne Hathaway is also back as Andy Sachs. Now an established journalist and Features Editor, Andy finds herself drawn back into Miranda’s orbit. The latest trailers even tease a shocking moment where Miranda—in classic fashion—pretends not even to recognize her former protégé.
