The Devil Wears Prada 2 Cast Latest Update
Previously, it was announced that apart from the three leading ladies of the original The Devil Wears Prada, Stanley Tucci would be reprising his role as Nigel Kipling, the trusted confidante of Meryl Streep's Miranda Priestly. As of the latest reports, Tracie Thoms, who played Lily, Andrea "Andy" Sachs' best friend and a major handbag lover, will also return to play her character. Another familiar face will be Tibor Feldman, who portrayed Irv Ravitz, the chairman of Runway's parent company, Elias-Clark.
DEADLINE reported that Simone Ashley will be starring in the film; however, not many details have been revealed about her mysterious role. This news comes as a welcome surprise to the fans of Picture This star, following her unexpected absence from F1: The Movie. The actress has been participating in promotions for the Brad Pitt-starrer film with dedication; however, her parts in the film were ruthlessly edited out, much to the shock of viewers.
Kenneth Branagh was previously confirmed to star as Miranda Priestly's husband, while Adrian Grenier, who played Nate Cooper originally, will not be returning for the sequel. It is known that the film is currently in production; however, further details of its progress have been kept under wraps. As the three fashionistas reunite once again, the excitement is through the roof for the fans of the 2006 release.
It is known that the follow-up will follow Miranda Priestly's life as reigning editor-in-chief, but her standing is not the same anymore as she faces the decline of traditional magazine publishing. She will stand against her once-assistant Emily Charlton, who has now moved to a lucrative role and holds the funds that she desperately needs at Runway.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 will premiere on May 1, 2026.

When Karan Johar defended Jaya Bachchan's image; 'She's the warmest person I know,' says; the ‘Rocky Aur Rani' set loved her
When Karan Johar directed 'Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani' , he made it a point to cast veteran actress Jaya Bachchan in a role completely different from what she had done before. As Dhanlakshmi Randhawa, the strict matriarch of a powerful family, Bachchan portrayed a cold, authoritarian figure. But, as Karan revealed in an interview with Mid-Day in the year 2023, she is nothing like that in real life. In fact, she was the most loved person on set. 'My crew, if you ask them who is the favourite person on set, they would say Jaya Bachchan,' he said. From remembering every AD's name to sending sweets and snacks for overworked staff, Jaya Bachchan, or "Aunty J" as he fondly calls her, was the heart of the set. A Misunderstood Persona Karan addressed the long-standing perception that Jaya Bachchan is unfriendly in public—an image shaped by viral videos showing her frustration with paparazzi. He clarified that what people often interpret as rudeness is simply her aversion to invasion of privacy. 'She just has an aversion to invasion of her privacy, not paps,' he said, stressing that she is a calm, giving person who enjoys playful banter and camaraderie when she feels safe. 'She is not Dhanlakshmi. Far from it,' he insisted. For Karan, casting her in a grey-shaded character was about breaking her usual on-screen image of the lovable mother or the innocent Guddi girl. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Find your perfect SUV for road trips and city life.
