Nearly twenty years after The Devil Wears Prada reshaped the way we talk about fashion, ambition, and the quiet politics of a magazine office, the story is preparing for a highly anticipated return. And this time, it steps back into a world where the rules have changed, the industry has shifted, and the power dynamics are sharper than ever.
Disney has officially given the sequel a green light, bringing back the quartet that defined the original: Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci. It is the kind of reunion that instantly signals confidence. Aline Brosh McKenna, whose writing captured the original film’s wit and precision, is also returning to shape the next chapter.
The plot picks up with Miranda Priestly navigating the realities of today’s media landscape. Print is no longer the industry’s crown jewel; influence now moves through digital ecosystems and the budgets of global luxury groups. In a twist that feels perfectly timed, Emily Charlton is no longer the determined assistant hustling through the Runway corridors. She has become a high-powered executive at a conglomerate reminiscent of Kering or LVMH, and her decisions now hold the advertising leverage that Miranda needs. Their relationship, once hierarchical, now becomes a negotiation between two women who learned the industry’s rhythm the hard way.
The sequel arrives in theaters on May 1, 2026. To mark the moment, a brief teaser has already been released. It opens with the familiar click of Miranda’s studded Valentino stilettos, gliding down the hallway with the same controlled confidence as before. When the elevator doors open, Andy Sachs appears beside her, no longer the newcomer with a notebook, but a woman who has built her own authority. It is a small moment that signals a larger shift: this time, everyone has something to prove.
Behind the scenes, the returning cast is joined by a new ensemble. Tracie Thoms and Tibor Feldman reprise their supporting roles, creating a seamless thread between the two films. Anne Hathaway shared the first image of her updated Andy Sachs on Instagram: a clean pinstripe vest, matching trousers, and soft curls, suggesting a character who knows exactly where she stands in today’s version of fashion.
Newcomers include Kenneth Branagh as Miranda’s husband, along with Lucy Liu, Pauline Chalamet, Justin Theroux, B. J. Novak, Helen J. Shen, Conrad Ricamora, and Caleb Hearon. Simone Ashley joins the cast as well, adding a contemporary edge. And in true modern-fashion-cinema spirit, Lady Gaga is set to make a cameo between stops on her Mayhem Ball Tour.
What makes this sequel engaging is not just the nostalgia, but the timing. Fashion has shifted. Media has shifted. And the characters who once defined the early 2000s now have to navigate a world shaped by digital dominance, global conglomerates, and changing definitions of influence.
