“Almost 20 years after making their iconic turn as Miranda, Andy, Emily and Nigel—Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci return to the fashionable streets of New York City and the sleek offices of Runway Magazine in the eagerly awaited sequel to the 2006 phenomenon that defined a generation,” the caption reads.
The sequel reunites the original cast with director David Frankel and writer Aline Brosh McKenna.
It also introduces several new characters played by Kenneth Branagh, Simone Ashley, Justin Theroux, Lucy Liu, Patrick Brammall, Caleb Hearon, Helen J. Shen, Pauline Chalamet, B.J. Novak, and Conrad Ricamora. Tracie Thoms and Tibor Feldman are also set to return as Lily and Irv, respectively.

Fans react to The Devil Wears Prada 2 trailer
The Devil Wears Prada was a massive success when it was released in 2006, so it's no surprise people are hyped for the sequel. Many folks online are praising the cast and sharing their excitement.
Meanwhile, others are dissecting the fact that Streep's Miranda is acting as though she doesn't remember Hathaway's Andy. Some fans think the character has dementia, which seems unlikely. Pretending not to know people, or even straight-up forgetting the little people, is very on brand for Miranda. You can check out some reactions below:
The legends return to define an era again.

You love to see it.
i love how the devil wears prada 2 trailer gives practically nothing away about the movie’s plot, besides the fact that andy is now the features editor and miranda doesn’t remember her. also, all the girls in the elevator were scrolling on instagram, which tells me this movie is…

How will social media factor in?
the lighting for the devil wears Prada 2 ? what is it with making ever movie look like an ad. its so lifeless and colorless, part one was so full of brightness and colour now it's like they lightened it after shooting in b&w mode pic.twitter.com/wpNDx7cMaS

There are some complaints.
sometimes I forget how dumb the entire world has gotten, then I see a thousand people theorizing that Meryl Streep has Alzheimer’s in The Devil Wears Prada 2
— dog (@edgecone) February 2, 2026
It's definitely an odd conclusion...
Wait so does Meryl Streep have dementia in Devil Wears Prada 2?? It certainly comes off that way and not that she just forgot who Andy was. I’m confused.

...But it's what some people saw, nonetheless.
Ok so like no one would want to watch a devil wears Prada sequel where Miranda has Alzheimer’s or dementia. The world is already shitty enough as it is. Literally no one would want that. The internet needs to chill and stop making me anxious ?

It's going to be okay.
I'm leaning towards Miranda does actually remember them, but is just putting on a ruse. Or she legit doesn't remember them cause she's had so many assistants come and go
