First Look: The Devil Wears Prada 2 Struts Out First Cast Stills
The Devil Wears Prada 2 struts in with sleek new cast stills, as 20th Century Studios teases returning icons and fresh faces ahead of the sequel’s theatrical debut.
Runway just tossed a glossy stack of assets onto our desks: 20th Century Studios dropped a pile of stills for The Devil Wears Prada 2. The sequel struts into theaters May 1, 2026. Yes, we are actually doing this almost 20 years after the original.
What they released and what it shows
The fresh images put the focus right where you want it: Meryl Streep back as Miranda Priestly, Anne Hathaway as Andy Sachs, Emily Blunt as Emily Charlton, and Stanley Tucci as Nigel. The visuals zip through Runway Magazine offices and a bunch of New York fashion haunts, giving updated looks at both the returning crew and the newbies.
Also confirmed in the footage: Andy Sachs is now the Features Editor at Runway, which is a tidy way to put her back in Miranda's orbit without rehashing the old assistant dynamic.
Who is back, and who is new
- Returning leads: Meryl Streep (Miranda Priestly), Anne Hathaway (Andy Sachs), Emily Blunt (Emily Charlton), Stanley Tucci (Nigel Kipling)
- Also returning: Tracie Thoms (Lily) and Tibor Feldman (Irv)
- New additions: Kenneth Branagh, Simone Ashley, Justin Theroux, Lucy Liu, Patrick Brammall, Caleb Hearon, Helen J. Shen, Pauline Chalamet, B.J. Novak, and Conrad Ricamora
Behind the camera and other nuts and bolts
Director David Frankel is back, as is writer Aline Brosh McKenna, which should keep the voice consistent with the first film. Producing duties are handled by Wendy Finerman, with Michael Bederman, Karen Rosenfelt, and McKenna serving as executive producers.
The MPAA rating is in: PG-13 for some sensuality. No surprises there.
Context check
The 2006 original was a monster hit - $326.5 million worldwide - with $124.7 million domestic and $201.8 million international. In other words, this sequel was inevitable once the stars aligned and the calendar hit the 20-year mark.
From the looks of the footage and photos, the sequel is still very much a love-hate letter to the fashion machine: office politics, New York energy, and runway-adjacent glamour, just with upgraded titles and older, sharper grudges. I am not mad at the 'Vogue' cue, either.
