The devil is back.

Meryl Streep was spotted on set of “The Devil Wears Prada 2” for the first time Wednesday, reprising her role as the iconic Miranda Priestly.

Streep was snapped filming in New York City, rocking her character’s signature icy white long pixie cut. The actress looked chic in a long tan trench coat, a purple blouse tucked into a belted brown leather skirt and matching brown heels.

A pair of stylish black sunglasses completed her look as the Runway magazine editor-in-chief.

“The Devil Wears Prada 2” — the long-awaited sequel to the 2006 hit “The Devil Wears Prada” starring Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci — follows Priestly as she navigates her career amid the decline of traditional magazine publishing, according to Variety.

The sequel has her facing off against Blunt’s character, Emily, who’s now a high-powered executive for a luxury group with advertising dollars that Priestly needs.

Hathaway, Blunt and Tucci are all returning to the sequel alongside Streep. Newcomers include Kenneth Branagh (who will play Priestly’s husband), Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux and B.J. Novak.

It’s set to hit theaters May 1, 2026.

Hathaway sent fans into a frenzy Monday, when she shared a TikTok getting ready to film “The Devil Wears Prada 2” in a cerulean blue sweater — a clear call back to the famous shade of knitwear from the original 2006 movie.

Page Six sources also think “Cerulean” is the code name the film is using to film in NYC.

Hathaway, 42, has been spotted filming in NYC for the movie, rocking one stylish look after another as her character, Andy Sachs.

Standout pieces have included a colorful patchwork Gabriela Hearst maxi dress, a denim zippered coverall from Re/Done’s 2022 collaboration with Ford and a vintage pinstriped Jean Paul Gaultier vest-and-trouser combo.

Back in 2021, Streep admitted she didn’t enjoy filming “The Devil Wears Prada” due to her embodying the icy character — which is, of course, rumored to be based on Vogue bigwig Anna Wintour — off set as well.

“It was horrible! I was [miserable] in my trailer,” she told Entertainment Weekly. “I could hear them all rocking and laughing. I was so depressed! I said, ‘Well, it’s the price you pay for being boss!’ That’s the last time I ever attempted a Method thing!”

“I wasn’t interested in doing a biopic on Anna [Wintour]; I was interested in her position in her company,” she also shared about her performance. “I wanted to take on the burdens she had to carry, along with having to look nice every day.”
