The trailer was released on November 12, revealing that the sequel will bring back familiar faces in the fashionable world of Runway magazine.
Set in New York City, the teaser opens with Miranda confidently striding through the Runway office wearing her signature red stilettos and impeccably stylish outfit. The opening scene is accompanied by Madonna’s “Vogue,” evoking the original film’s high-fashion atmosphere and underscoring Miranda’s enduring dominance in the fashion industry.
Iconic Characters and Setting Highlighted in New Preview
As Miranda moves through the magazine’s corridors, viewers are treated to flashes of runway shows, photo shoots, and fittings, maintaining the glamorous environment central to the story. When Miranda steps into an elevator, Andy Sachs appears alongside her, creating a moment reminiscent of their previous dynamic.
Andy acknowledges Miranda with a respectful “Miranda,” to which the magazine editor-in-chief replies with dry humor, “Took you long enough.” The elevator doors close as Andy, now wearing black sunglasses, offers a sly smile, hinting at her evolved persona.
Sequel Officially Set for Release in 2026 with Returning Cast
Following years of speculation, the sequel confirmation came in May 2024, with the release date set for May 1, 2026.

Plot Details Remain Largely Confidential Amid New Additions to Cast
Despite the star-studded casting and on-location filming in New York City, details about the sequel’s story remain closely guarded.
