The eagerly anticipated sequel to the beloved film "The Devil Wears Prada" is inching closer to reality, but sadly, one familiar face from the 2006 cinematic gem will be missing from its glamorous lineup. On Monday, social media buzzed with the exciting news that production for the much-touted follow-up commences this week, with shooting locations spanning the chic streets of New York and the scenic vistas of Italy.
Returning to reprise their iconic roles are stars Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci, promising a dose of nostalgia intertwined with fresh narratives. Adding to the stellar cast is Kenneth Branagh, whose inclusion is sure to elevate the film's dramatic depth. However, hearts were slightly dampened when it was confirmed by The Hollywood Reporter that Adrian Grenier, who portrayed Nate, Hathaway's love interest in the original, would not be joining the sequel's journey.
The 2006 film, adapted from the eponymous novel, follows Andy Sachs (Hathaway), a fresh college graduate navigating the high-stakes world as an assistant to Miranda Priestly (Streep), the formidable editor-in-chief of the fashion bible, Runway. Nate (Grenier), struggling to cope with Andy's demanding work schedule and her immersion in the fast-paced fashion industry, finds himself often at odds with her choices, ultimately leading to their breakup. By the film's conclusion, Andy bids adieu to fashion journalism, opting for a newspaper career, while viewers witness a heartwarming reconciliation between her and Nate, hinting at a promising future together.
With this backdrop, fans eagerly speculated whether the "Entourage" star would return for the sequel's casting. However, earlier reports have hinted that the upcoming installment will focus on Priestly grappling with the decline of print magazines, amidst a transforming media landscape. Emily (Blunt), another former assistant, has ascended to become a formidable advertising executive collaborating with Runway. Meanwhile, Branagh will embody Priestly's husband, while Tucci will once again don the hat of Nigel, Runway's artistic director, bringing his unique vision to life.
Marking its grand premiere on May 1, 2026, "The Devil Wears Prada 2" promises to enchant audiences worldwide with its blend of fashion, drama, and unforgettable characters. Scroll down to witness the announcement heralding the start of this much-awaited production.
