Adrian Grenier Won't Return for 'Devil Wears Prada' Sequel—and This Is Who's Taking His Place
It looks like the real villain of The Devil Wears Prada won't be returning for its sequel.
According to an Entertainment Weekly exclusive, Adrian Grenier, who played Andy's tepid boyfriend Nate Cooper, will not be returning for the upcoming film.
In a previous EW interview, Grenier spoke about his controversial character. 'When that whole thing [about Nate being the 'real villain' of the film] first came out, I couldn't get my head around it,' he said. 'I didn't understand it. Perhaps it was because I wasn't mature as a man, just as Nate probably could've used a little growing up. I was just as immature as him at the time, so I couldn't see his shortcomings, but, after taking time to reflect and much deliberation online, I can realize the truth in that perspective.'
He then went on to say that Nate couldn't fully support Andy and her budding fashion career because 'he was a fragile, wounded boy…. on behalf of all the Nates out there: Come on! Step it up!'
On July 21, Entertainment Weekly reported that Andy will have a new love interest: the Australian actor Patrick Brammall (Colin from Accounts).
Variety reported that the new film, which is set to release on May 1, 2026, will follow Meryl Streep's character, editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly, as she 'navigates her career amid the decline of traditional magazine publishing and faces off against [Emily] Blunt's character, now a high-powered executive for a luxury group with advertising dollars that Priestly desperately needs.'
In addition to Streep, Hathaway, and Blunt, Stanley Tucci will also be in the sequel, along with new addition Kenneth Branagh. Production began on Monday.

Sarah Chalke reveals her wish for upcoming 'Scrubs' revival: 'I don't know how that works into the storyline'
The actress, who played Dr. Elliot Reid on the medical sitcom, shared her dream plot point for the revival while visiting EW's video suite with her "Rick and Morty" costars at San Diego Comic-Con. This potential Scrubs storyline is just what the doctor ordered. No, literally. Sarah Chalke, who starred as Dr. Elliot Reid across all nine seasons of the celebrated medical sitcom, is sharing the toe-tapping plot point that she'd love to see included in the show's forthcoming reboot.'I can't tease any plot details because I don't know any because it's all so new," Chalke explains while visiting Entertainment Weekly's San Diego Comic-Con video suite for Rick and Morty. "Someone just asked me if I have any requests for the plots and I just said, 'Flash mob. I wanna be in the flash mob.' So, I don't know how that works into the storyline, but I think there's a way." After hearing Chalke's dream storyline, her Rick and Morty costars — Chris Parnell, Ian Cardoni, Harry Belden, and Spencer Grammer — immediately jump up from their seats and begin busting a move. "You wanted a flash mob?" Parnell, who plays Jerry, jokes. "Here we go, guys." But, in true Rick and Morty fashion, the well-intentioned gesture quickly goes off the rails. "No, that's not how we practiced it, you guys!" Belden shouts. "It was step left, then turn. Alright. Alright. Cut! Let's go again!" Still, Chalke can't help but be charmed by their efforts. "Not the flash mob I was dreaming of," she teases, before turning back to her costars. "You guys are trying to make my dreams come true? This is why I love all of them so much." Earlier this month, Entertainment Weekly confirmed that Chalke and fellow Scrubs alum Donald Faison, who played Dr. Christopher Turk, would be joining Zach Braff in the upcoming revival. Chalkecelebrated the news on Instagram by posting a throwback photo of her, Braff, and Faison with the caption: "YAY!!!!" In addition to the trio, original series creator Bill Lawrence is also scrubbing in as an executive producer on the revival. "Scrubs means so very much to me," he said in a statement. "So excited for the chance to get the band back together." An official logline for the series reveals that it will follow Braff's J.D. and Faison's Turk as they "scrub in together for the first time in a long time," adding, "medicine has changed, interns have changed, but their bromance has stood the test of time. Characters new and old navigate the waters of Sacred Heart with laughter, heart and some surprises along the way." The original Scrubs, which ran from 2001 until 2010, followed the trials and tribulations of J.D. and his pals as they worked at the fictional Sacred Heart Hospital.

Dan Aykroyd explains why he skipped 'SNL 50' special and reveals moment that made him emotional watching at home
Aykroyd is still a devoted viewer of "Saturday Night Live" to this day. After all these years, Dan Aykroyd still isn't ready for primetime, but in this case, it was his choice. Earlier this year, Aykroyd, who broke out as an original member of the Saturday Night Live cast in the 1970s, was noticeably absent from the SNL 50 anniversary special. But he's still close to his Studio 8H roots and is even releasing a forthcoming graphic novel that continues the story of the Blues Brothers, one of his most iconic SNL characters. As it turns out, Aykroyd loves the NBC sketch show so much that he actively chose to sit out the 50th so that he could watch the special without interruption from home. "I wanted to be at home and I wanted to watch the show beginning to end," Aykroyd reveals to Entertainment Weekly while stopping by our video studio at Comic-Con 2025. "I knew if i was there, I'd be in a dressing room, I'd be working," he continues. "I wanted to see it live. I'm a fan of the show today, and I watch it all the time. I love these new players; I think they're just great. I just wanted to see and live nostalgically with my family in my own home, eating my own popcorn." Several of Aykroyd's fellow original cast members were present, however, including Laraine Newman and Jane Curtin. Newman even did a sketch with more recent alum Pete Davidson in which she reminisced about her time on the show, while Davidson reprised his recurring character of Chad, responding "Okay" to Newman's heartfelt memories. Newman and Curtin also were responsible for one of the night's most moving moments, holding up a photograph of the late Gilda Radner during the cast's goodbyes at the end of the show. "Lorraine's piece definitely," Aykroyd responds when asked about what segment of the show made him most emotional. "That was beautiful. That was wonderful." Aykroyd also reminisces about his time making The Blues Brothers alongside blues legends that he grew up admiring. He remembers his time filming with Aretha Franklin in the diner in particular, noting that he was incredibly nervous to be sharing the screen with her. "As soon as she started to sing, I got a feeling in my stomach," he shares. "When I stood up off the stool, I thought my legs were going to buckle.""Jake and Elwood are still in jail in 1997, and now they're trophies and no one wants to let them go," Aykroyd teases of the book, which hits shelves on Oct. 7. "And the story picks up from there." Aykroyd also weighed in on Dylan O'Brien's portrayal of him in last year's Saturday Night. Watch his full interview in the livestream above. Check out more of .

White House lashes out at 'South Park' over spoof of Donald Trump in bed seducing Satan: 'Desperate attempt'
A White House spokesperson has responded to the season 27 premiere in a statement to EW. One day after hitting back at The View over Joy Behar's claim that Donald Trump was jealous of Barack Obama's looks, the White House has again taken aim at a Hollywood institution in a statement to Entertainment Weekly criticizing South Park's satirical depiction of the president seducing Satan in bed. The show's delayed season 27 premiere — which was pushed back and ultimately moved from Comedy Central to Paramount+ amid parent company Paramount's pending merger with Skydance — included several scenes that showed a fictionalized version of Trump with a small penis. He later makes his way to a bedroom at the White House, where he undresses and gets into bed with Satan, who remarks on the size of the animated Trump's genitals. "The left's hypocrisy truly has no end — for years they have come after South Park for what they labeled as 'offense' content, but suddenly they are praising the show," White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers tells EW via email, adding that "just like the creators of South Park, the left has no authentic or original content" to premiere. "This show hasn't been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention," the statement continues. "President Trump has delivered on more promises in just six months than any other president in our country's history — and no fourth-rate show can derail President Trump's hot streak." EW has reached out to representatives for Paramount for a response. The season 27 premiere of South Park started with Trump engaged in a meeting with a satirical depiction of the prime minister of Canada. Then, after the meeting, Trump passes by an artist painting his portrait, with the president stopping to yell at them for giving him a small penis in the image. "What the f--- is this?" the fictionalized version of Trump asks. "Why is my dick so small?" The artist replies, "That's the size it is in the photo," which prompts his removal from the White House. The cartoon iteration of Trump then enters his bedroom, where he undresses, revealing that his genitals are the same size as in the painting, and then attempts to seduce Satan in bed. South Park's season 27 premiere came after a delay that led co-creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone to release a statement criticizing the Skydance merge in which they alleged that "it's f---ing up South Park." Paramount announced Wednesday that the South Park production had reached a deal with Paramount+ to license the classic animated show, including putting all previous 26 seasons and forthcoming first-run episodes on the streaming service instead of Comedy Central. The announcement came shortly after CBS network announced that the Trump-critical The Late Show With Stephen Colbert would end in May 2026, which provoked many late-night hosts to rally around Colbert and offer their support amid observations that the Federal Communications Commission needs to approve the Paramount/Skydance merger. South Park is now streaming on Paramount+. Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly
