I pressed play, then pressed replay, then sent it to three group chats with a single word: “screaming.” The Devil Wears Prada 2 teaser gives just enough to set the mood. You feel the vibe of the RUNWAY office. You hear stilettos on the floor. You sense the stare that we all love. You see an elevator that knows better than to close too fast.
Behind that 52-second frenzy is a familiar pairing slipping back into their rhythm. Director David Frankel and writer Aline Brosh McKenna have returned to steer the chaos, pulling Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway right back into the centre of it all. And of course, Miranda doesn’t just arrive, she glides in, fully armoured in sharp tailoring and Valentino Garavani Rockstuds that do the talking before she even opens her mouth.
Moving through the Runway hallway unhurried and in command, the elevator opens and she steps in. A beat later, the doors part again and Andy Sachs follows her inside. “Took you long enough,” she purrs. Andy answers with a smirk and black sunglasses that end the conversation. That’s the mood, I guess?
This chapter isn’t a nostalgia play. Miranda is steering a legacy title while the ground under print keeps sliding. She needs real ad muscle to keep the machine humming. Across the table sits Emily Charlton, once the junior, now a high powered decision maker at a luxury group that commands the budget Miranda wants. Former colleagues. New stakes.
Stanley Tucci, Tracie Thoms, and Tibor Feldman are all in the mix again, ready to bring that very specific RUNWAY energy, eye rolls, withering one-liners, and the terror of a last-minute run-through.
Around them, there’s a new front row of characters. Kenneth Branagh, Simone Ashley, Justin Theroux, Lucy Liu, Patrick Brammall, Caleb Hearon, Helen J. Shen, Pauline Chalamet, B.J. Novak, and Conrad Ricamora all step into this world, hinting at boardrooms, brands, financiers, and the kind of industry power players who can make or break a masthead with one decision.
Whispers say Lady Gaga and Sydney Sweeney will also appear, which feels perfectly on brand for a film about who gets to hold the cultural microphone.
Since cameras started rolling, we’ve already been fed little crumbs with set shots and behind-the-scenes moments of Meryl Streep and Stanley Tucci taking over Milan while attending the Dolce & Gabbana show.
Style-wise, we also catch quick flashes of corsets, bold hoop earrings and sleek dresses. The rest can wait for the full reveal. The film lands in theaters on May 1, 2026.
