Disney and 20th Century Studios have officially pulled back the curtain on the sequel to the 2006 cultural touchstone, releasing a first-look trailer and setting a global premiere for May 1, 2026. Set in 2026, the narrative pivots to a high-stakes professional collision between Miranda Priestly and her former protégé, Emily Charlton. Director David Frankel noted that the sequel is an evolution rather than a retread. “We wanted to honor the original’s soul while exploring how these characters have matured over two decades,” Frankel stated. Describing the return to set as “profoundly emotional,” she noted that the shared history between the cast made the comeback feel inevitable.
