Thescreescore – The fashion world is abuzz as the highly anticipated sequel, The Devil Wears Prada 2, has finally unveiled its inaugural trailer, sending waves of excitement through fans eagerly awaiting the return of the iconic cast. Set to reprise their beloved roles, Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci are poised to reignite the sharp-witted drama that captivated audiences nearly two decades ago.
The newly released footage offers a tantalizing glimpse into a dramatically altered landscape for the formidable Miranda Priestly (Streep). The once-unshakeable editor-in-chief now finds herself grappling with the relentless decline of traditional print media, a stark contrast to her former unchallenged reign. Adding to her woes, her former first assistant, Emily Charlton (Blunt), has ascended to an executive position at a rival luxury fashion house, poised to challenge Miranda’s authority and perhaps revel in her newfound success. The stage is set for a high-stakes power struggle that promises to be as cutting as Miranda’s critiques.
The preview provides intriguing glimpses into the characters’ evolution since their initial foray into the cutthroat world of Runway magazine. Viewers witness Andy Sachs (Hathaway) crossing paths with Emily once more, a reunion that starkly contrasts with Miranda’s apparent lack of recollection regarding Andy’s tenure, prompting a classic Priestly query to Nigel (Tucci) about Andy’s place in their shared past.

Prior to the trailer’s debut, the principal cast members offered Vogue magazine their reflections on stepping back into the iconic roles. Meryl Streep likened the experience to "going into the back of your own closet and finding something, thinking, Oh, I wonder if this still fits?" a sentiment that perfectly captures the blend of nostalgia and anticipation surrounding the project.
Emily Blunt expressed a profound sense of familiarity, stating, "It felt a lot like coming home, especially because Stanley Tucci is now… literally my home. It’s incredible what this film has brought us all." She humorously added a touch of self-reflection on her character, describing Emily as "a lunatic" and questioning "why it seems so easy to step back into her."
Anne Hathaway described a "psychedelic" moment on set, feeling "so many portals open up" as she walked behind Streep in character. She noted, "I was 22 again, but it was still now. Thankfully, this time, she didn’t stay in character the entire time, so we had a lot of laughs," hinting at a more relaxed, yet equally powerful, dynamic on set.
Stanley Tucci revealed that Nigel never truly departed from him, explaining, "Nigel must’ve been always hiding away inside me. There was a good deal of Nigel in me, and so I was just able to let it all out again." He also emphasized the critical role of costuming in embodying the character, underscoring the film’s meticulous attention to detail.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 is slated for a theatrical release on May 1, 2026. David Frankel returns to direct, with Aline Brosh McKenna penning the screenplay, promising a continuation of the sharp wit and compelling character arcs that made the original a cultural phenomenon. Fashion enthusiasts and film lovers alike are counting down the days until they can once again step into the glamorous, yet demanding, world of Miranda Priestly.
