It's here at last: the first truly good look at the upcoming film sequel to The Devil Wears Prada. See the looks and hear the zingers in the first full trailer for the movie, set to hit movie theatres May 1. Watch above.
Back starring after leading the original film are Anne Hathaway as Andy Sachs and Meryl Streep as diabolical boss lady Miranda Priestly. The film also counts a number of Broadway favorites in its supporting cast, including 2025 Tony nominee Conrad Ricamora (Oh, Mary!), Maybe Happy Ending star Helen J Shen, Justin Theroux, and Lucy Liu. The trailer helpfully give us no glimpse at those particular faces, but we'll take what they give us and like it.
All of those folks are new to the Devil Wears Prada cinematic universe, but don't worry—the cast will largely be a true reunion of the original cast, including fellow Broadway vets Streep as Miranda Priestly, Stanley Tucci as Nigel, and Tracie Thoms as Lily, along with Hathaway as Andy Sachs, Emily Blunt as Emily Charlton, and Tibor Feldman as Irv Ravitz. Also back are director David Frankel and screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna.
The original film followed Andy Sachs as she entered the ruthless world of fashion magazine Runway, becoming the beleaguered assistant to the fiercely demanding, Anna Wintour-like Miranda Priestly alongside the neurotically savvy Emily. Plot details for the sequel are, so far, scarce, but the film will reportedly pick up with Priestly still at the helm of Runway, navigating a decline in print publishing that leaves her in desperate need of advertising dollars under the purview of former assistant–turned luxury executive Emily.
Also newly joining the cast are B.J. Novak, Pauline Chalamet, and Caleb Hearon.
The original film quickly became a much-quoted audience favorite after debuting in 2006. A stage musical adaptation is currently running in London's West End, featuring a score by Elton John and Shaina Taub and a book by Kate Wetherhead, and starring Vanessa Williams as Priestly.
