Lucy Liu is offering a glimpse into her role in The Devil Wears Prada 2, teasing that her character remains under wraps while praising her experience working alongside Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway.

In a recent interview, Liu revealed that she is playing a “mystery role” in the highly anticipated sequel, with details about her character intentionally kept out of trailers and promotional material. The actress joins a star-studded cast that includes returning favorites like Streep, Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci.

Reflecting on her experience on set, Liu described working with Streep and Hathaway as “a reverie,” emphasizing how special it felt to collaborate with such an iconic ensemble.

The sequel, set to release on May 1, 2026, revisits the world of high fashion nearly two decades after the original film.

Liu also expressed excitement about being part of a project with such a lasting cultural legacy, noting her appreciation for the original film and the opportunity to contribute to its next chapter.

With its mix of returning stars, new additions, and evolving storylines, The Devil Wears Prada 2 is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated releases of 2026, and Liu’s mysterious role is adding even more intrigue ahead of its debut.
