In the sequel, Streep reprises her iconic role as Miranda Priestly, the formidable editor-in-chief of Runway magazine. Facing the decline of print journalism, Miranda must navigate a turbulent industry while maintaining her iron grip on fashion power. Complicating matters, she runs into Emily Charlton (Emily Blunt), her former assistant, now a major executive at a luxury conglomerate controlling key advertising revenue Miranda desperately needs.
Anne Hathaway returns as Andy Sachs, who has grown from a fledgling assistant to the new feature editor at Runway. The trailer teases awkward but playful reunions: Miranda struggles to recognize Andy at first, prompting Stanley Tucci’s character to remind her, “She’s one of the Emilys.” The long-awaited reunion hints at both nostalgia and new workplace tensions.
Fans get a taste of Emily Blunt’s sharp wit when she delivers a pointed remark to Andy:
“You’ve changed. You’re much more confident. You kept those eyebrows, though, didn’t you?”
Blunt reflected on revisiting the story in interviews, telling Entertainment Tonight:
“Why are Meryl and I so mean to each other in every film we do? We always have beef. I don’t know what it is. Let’s hope we fix it.”
She also shared with PORTER magazine that returning for the sequel was deeply personal:
“It isn’t just doing a film. It has deep emotional roots for a lot of us.”
Alongside the returning leads, Streep, Hathaway, Blunt, and Tucci, the sequel introduces Kenneth Branagh, Patrick Brammall, Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, B.J. Novak, Lady Gaga, Pauline Chalamet, Helen J. Shen, Conrad Ricamora, and comedian Caleb Hearon. Original director David Frankel and screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna are back, ensuring the sequel keeps the same sharp, witty tone fans love.
The trailer closes with a promise of high fashion, sharp humor, and drama, reminding audiences that Runway is not just a magazine—it’s a global icon. The film officially hits cinemas May 1, 2026, reuniting fans with one of the most iconic stories of ambition, style, and office politics in Hollywood history.
