The devil’s back in heels Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway reunite in The Devil Wears Prada 2 — Here’s everything we know

The internet went into full meltdown on Wednesday after 20th Century Studios dropped the first official teaser for The Devil Wears Prada 2, marking the long-awaited return of Meryl Streep’s Miranda Priestly and Anne Hathaway’s Andy Sachs.

Set to Madonna’s iconic 1990 anthem “Vogue”, the 51-second teaser opens with a close-up of a pair of glossy red Valentino stilettos clicking across the marble floors of Runway magazine. The camera pans up to reveal the unmistakable Miranda Priestly — still every inch the imperious editor-in-chief — making her grand re-entry into the world she once ruled.

Moments later, she steps into an elevator and is joined by a familiar face: her former assistant, Andy Sachs.

“Miranda,” Andy greets her, eyes hidden behind chic sunglasses.

Priestly pauses before firing off her legendary deadpan: “Took you long enough.”

That one line — icy, effortless, and loaded with nostalgia — sent social media into overdrive. Fans flooded platforms like X and TikTok with posts celebrating the “return of the queen,” praising Streep’s timeless poise and Hathaway’s confident glow-up.

Though the teaser is brief, it promises a fashionable clash of ambition, legacy, and reinvention. According to early plot details, The Devil Wears Prada 2 will explore Miranda’s struggle to keep Runway relevant in a digital-first era, as print journalism crumbles under the pressure of online influencers and AI-driven media. Facing her across the glossy battlefield? None other than Emily Charlton (played by Emily Blunt), now a powerhouse executive controlling the luxury ad budgets Miranda desperately needs.

The sequel reportedly began filming over the summer in New York City, with paparazzi shots capturing Streep, Hathaway, and Blunt striding through the streets in high-fashion ensembles. Returning cast members include Stanley Tucci, Tracie Thoms, and Tibor Feldman. New additions to the cast include Simone Ashley (Bridgerton), Kenneth Branagh (as Miranda’s husband), and Lucy Liu, B.J. Novak, Pauline Chalamet, and Justin Theroux in undisclosed roles.

Fans of the 2006 original — which grossed $326 million worldwide — will remember it as a sharp, stylish take on the cutthroat fashion industry, turning the phrase “That’s all” into pop culture royalty.

In contrast, the sequel looks poised to blend nostalgia with modern realities: sustainability, social media dominance, and the decline of print power.

Set for theatrical release on May 1, 2026, The Devil Wears Prada 2 seems ready to deliver what fans crave most: a high-heeled showdown between two formidable women, an avalanche of couture, and maybe even a touch of redemption.

And yes — gird your loins, everyone. Miranda Priestly has entered the chat again.
