Gird your loins! The Devil Wears Prada 2 is officially in production: Everything we know so far
The Devil Wears Prada 2, has officially commenced filming, as per a Variety report. While Meryl Streep and Emily Blunt were always on board since the announcement, set to step into their iconic characters of Miranda Priestly and Emily Charlton, confirmation when it came to Anne Hathaway returning as Andrea Sachs was left in the lurch.
Well, the holy trinity is coming together (phew) — and so is Nigel! In addition to Meryl, Emily and Anne, Stanley Tucci too will be returning for the sequel to reprise his role of Nigel. Now someone whose NOT returning? Adrien Grenier, who played Nate, Andrea's boyfriend. Now Miranda may or may not be the devil, but Nate? He definitely was.
While the 2006 release followed the templated expectations of the time — of the lead finding herself in simpler things as opposed to the glitz and the glam, the cult status of the film over nearly two decades has made one thing very, very clear. If anybody was holding Andy back from realising her true potential, it was her boyfriend, with his selfish demands and judgmental disposition. Now while there's no gate for Adrien, there definitely is tons of it for Nate, and the OG fans of the film will only be more than happy to not deal with his negativity.
Finally, the Devil Wears Prada sequel has also welcomed a new cast member aboard. Kenneth Branagh, well known for having played Detective Poirot, and even better known for his Academy Award, BAFTA, Emmy and Golden Globe wins, will be playing Miranda's husband in the part 2.
David Frankel, the OG director of the film, is also returning for the sequel in tow with writer Aline Brosh McKenna. 20th Century Studios, via their very chic intimation, announced that The Devil Wears Prada 2 would be in production right through summer.
Now as the film gets ready for its May 1 release next year, we always have the OG to stream on OTT.

Squid Game Season 3 fails to match Season 2's opening weekend, despite breaking Netflix viewership record
Squid Game season 3, with its finale, has officially become one of the most-watched series in Netflix's history. As per data shared by the streamer, in just three days since its June 27 release, the Hwang Dong Hyuk directorial pulled in a massive 368.4 million watch hours, which Netflix says adds up to 60.1 million views globally. While that made it the most-watched title of the week across both English and non-English categories, it still fell short of Season 2's opening. And Season 1 still holds the crown as Netflix's most-watched series ever. Here's a breakdown of how the Lee Byung Hun–Lee Jung Jae starrer is stacking up. Also read: Squid Game 3 ending: 7 burning questions answered in Netflix thriller finale; future possibilities explored Squid Game season 3, which finally decided the fate of Player 426 and the twisted game where VIPs bet on human lives like racehorses, hit number 1 in 93 countries, including the US, UK, Japan, and Argentina. But when stacked against the numbers pulled in by season 2, it slightly lags. Season 2, despite being less loved by critics, clocked 68 million views in its first four days, beating Wednesday's 2022 debut of 50.1 million. For context, Netflix's viewership charts run Monday to Sunday, and season 3 only had three days in that window. Still, it's now the ninth most-watched non-English-language season ever, while seasons 1 and 2 still hold the top two spots. With a month still to go, we'll see if it climbs higher or drops off. Thanks to the season 3 hype, the earlier seasons have found their way back into the Top 10. Season 2, which dropped in December, re-entered the charts last week, while season 1 landed back at number six. Netflix doesn't have daily viewership data for season 1 in the newer 'views' format, but that hasn't stopped it from holding the all-time record, 1.65 billion hours watched in four weeks and 142 million households tuned in. Also read: Squid Game Season 3 ending explained: The truth about Gi Hun's fate, the mystery woman, and all survivors The director of the South Korean thriller series, Hwang Dong Hyuk, has made it clear, there's no next season in the pipeline. But in the final few minutes of season 3, Cate Blanchett shows up playing ddakji (A Korean game), with someone, teasing her as the new recruiter. Which pretty much reveals the game's not over, it's going global. With the Korean setup now shut down, the VIPs who managed to flee the scene alongside Lee Byung-hun are likely shifting operations overseas. The show already tasted spin-off success with its first reality version, Squid Game: The Challenge, and a second season is on the way. Meanwhile, the American spin-off is rumoured to be helmed by David Fincher, the man behind House of Cards, Mank, and Michael Fassbender's The Killer. Hwang had earlier told Variety that if an American version happens, he wants in. He added, 'But if it's the US version that they're making, I think sharing of ideas would be enough. I have no intention of being completely hands-on in a project like that. Having said that, if Netflix asks and if I feel like my contribution is needed, then as long as it's not something that would interfere with whatever I'm working on at that time, I would be happy to provide what they need from me.'

BTS surprise ARMY with live stream after 3 years; Confirm new music, world tour and more - Deets inside!
BTS have officially reunited! Although it has been a while since all the members were finally discharged from the military, fans have just received the much-needed confirmation via a live stream session with all seven members. BTS surprises fans with live stream On July 1, BTS took to a popular fan forum website and started a livestream with all of the members on screen sitting around a couch. This is the first live stream event that the idols have held together since September 22, only a few months before Jin officially started his military service. The live stream came as a surprise to most fans, as the notification for the live stream popped up with no warning. All seven members of the group were gathered around a couch and shared anecdotes from their time in the military and how everything has been since their return to civilian life. Members RM and Jimin even talked about how things have been feeling weird ever since coming back, 'like a vacation', the leader of the group mentioned, to which all of the remaining members made fun of him. New BTS album launch The live stream was not the only thing that shocked fans! BTS casually ended up confirming that the group will be releasing new music by next year! The news was also officially confirmed later, as per reports from Variety as well. Fans should mark their calendars for spring 2026, as a new album and music have officially been confirmed by the group's management agency. While sharing the news with the fans, the group issued a statement in the live stream saying, 'Starting in July, all seven of us will begin working closely together on new music. Since it will be a group album, it will reflect each member's thoughts and ideas. We're approaching the album with the same mindset we had when we first started.' It was also shared that the members will begin creating and working on new music by August, as they are planning on travelling to the US. While no official date was announced by the group members or by their management agency, they even ended up confirming that they're simultaneously working together to prepare for a massive world tour as well. Fans react As soon as the live stream started, fans started pouring in their reactions online about OT7 finally reuniting. One fan commented, 'I'm torn between the fact that it's finally OT7 live again after a long time and the fact that they're working on group music already and back to their roots. Like, I'm processing one by one; it's overwhelming (positive) (lovingly and wholeheartedly).' Another fan expressed their excitement by saying, 'BTS are definitely trying something new for their comeback album and will be more hands-on in it than ever.' Live album on the way The group are all set to release their first-ever live album for their previous tour, 'Permission to Dance On Stage'. The tour managed to be a huge success, garnered over 4 million people in attendance and was held both online and offline, as per the COVID-19 restrictions during 2021 to 2022. The live album will feature 22 songs in total, as well as behind-the-scenes content, interviews, and live performance recordings. The album will drop on July 18, while the pre-orders for the album have already started.
