Two decades after leaving Runway magazine, Andrea "Andy" Sachs is a global journalist in New York. When her newsroom is laid off, she is hired as the features editor for Runway by owner Irv Ravitz, who is secretly trying to help Miranda Priestly navigate a crisis involving a sweatshop-linked brand. Miranda, struggling with modern media and a more relaxed personal life, faces pressure from her boss, Irv, and later his son, Jay, who takes over after Irv's fatal heart attack. Andy faces off against former colleague Emily Charlton, who is now at Dior. During Milan Fashion Week, Andy discovers a plan to save Runway from a takeover by a tech billionaire, Benji Barnes, who intends to replace staff with AI. Andy ultimately secures a deal with a different buyer, Sasha Barnes, who grants Miranda the promotion she was promised.
