The Devil Wears Prada 2: Everything You Need to Know Before the May 1st Premiere!

Liputan6.com, Jakarta - After a long wait, fans can finally witness the continuation of the iconic fashion story in The Devil Wears Prada 2.

This comedy-drama premiered at Lincoln Center in New York City on April 20, 2026, and is scheduled for a theatrical release in the United States by 20th Century Studios on May 1, 2026.

The sequel is again directed by David Frankel and written by Aline Brosh McKenna, who also directed the first film.

With a running time of 119 minutes, the film has received generally positive reviews from critics, promising a satisfying cinematic experience for both loyal viewers and new fans.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 brings back the beloved cast, including Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly, Anne Hathaway as Andrea "Andy" Sachs, and Emily Blunt as Emily Charlton.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 is set nearly two decades after the original film, with Runway magazine facing significant instability due to the decline of the print publishing industry.

Miranda Priestly, the charismatic editor-in-chief, must navigate the new media landscape and ensure Runway's continued relevance, where maintaining power is no longer a guarantee.

Andy Sachs, now a successful and more confident journalist, returns to Runway as its new Features Editor after being fired from his job at the New York Vanguard.

Meanwhile, Emily Charlton has become a high-ranking executive at a luxury brand, possessing crucial funding to ensure Runway's survival.

Miranda and Andy reconnect with Emily, who initially conspired with her billionaire boyfriend, Benji Barnes (Justin Theroux), to buy Runway.

However, Miranda faces challenges from corporate executives who disdain professional journalism, and Runway magazine is threatened by scandal and a change of ownership by Runway's chairman's son, Jay Ravitz (B.J. Novak).

Meryl Streep returns as Miranda Priestly, Anne Hathaway as Andrea "Andy" Sachs, and Emily Blunt as Emily Charlton.

Stanley Tucci also reprises his role as Nigel Kipling, Runway's loyal backroom operative.

Tracie Thoms as Lily, Andy's friend, and Tibor Feldman as Irv Ravitz, Runway's chairman, round out the returning cast.

Justin Theroux joins the cast as Benji Barnes, Emily's billionaire boyfriend.

Kenneth Branagh plays Stuart, Miranda's new husband, adding a new dimension to Miranda's personal life.

Simone Ashley appears as Amari Mari, Miranda's current first assistant, while Lucy Liu plays Sasha Barnes, Benji's ex-wife who is key to saving Runway.

B.J. Novak plays Jay Ravitz, Irv Ravitz's son, who wants to overhaul the magazine.

Furthermore, the film also stars Pauline Chalamet, Rachel Bloom, Patrick Brammall as Peter (Andy's new boyfriend), Caleb Hearon, and Helen J. Shen.

The film "The Devil Wears Prada" (2006) is based on Lauren Weisberger's 2003 novel of the same name.

Lauren Weisberger later published a sequel, "Revenge Wears Prada: The Devil Returns," in 2013.

The plot of "Revenge Wears Prada: The Devil Returns" is set a decade after the events of the first novel.

In it, Andy is the editor of the newlywed magazine, The Plunge, and is about to marry Max Harrison.

Miranda Priestly returns to Andy's life as a powerful business rival, seeking to acquire Andy's company.

Although there is a sequel to the book, Aline Brosh McKenna's screenplay for The Devil Wears Prada 2 will only slightly align with the novel's storyline.
