July 9 (UPI) -- Charlie's Angels star Lucy Liu, Bridgerton actress Simone Ashley and The Office actor B.J. Novak will join Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep in the Devil Wears Prada sequel, which is now filming.
Variety reported Tuesday that Liu and Novak have joined the cast, along with Justin Theroux, Pauline Chalamet, Helen J. Shen, Conrad Ricamora and Caleb Hearon.
E! News confirmed the casting.
Deadline and The Wrap reported Ashley joining the film.
Kenneth Branagh was previously announced as a new cast member. He will portray Miranda Priestly's (Streep) husband.
In addition to Hathaway and Streep, other returning stars include Emily Blunt, Stanley Tucci and Tracie Thoms.
Hathaway portrays eager budding journalist Andy in the original 2006 film, which saw Andy get herself in over her head when she started working at Runway magazine for Miranda.
Andy and Miranda's relationship in the upcoming feature remains unclear, but Hathaway speculated in 2022 that Andy "is writing for a wonderful French women's magazine."
"I think she's a staff writer and she speaks French fluently," she told E! News at the time. "I don't think she's married, but she might have a child or two. I think she's pretty fab."
David Frankel directed the original film, which was based on the 2004 novel of the same name by Lauren Weisberger. He is returning for the second installment.

Pete Davidson, Elsie Hewitt relationship timeline: From romance rumors to pregnancy reveal
Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt have gone from rumored lovebirds to expectant parents. The "SNL" alum and model, who first sparked dating speculation in March, surprised fans on July 16 when the couple announced on social media that they're expecting their first child. Just days after sharing the baby news, Davidson gushed about fatherhood in a July 22 interview with E! News, telling the outlet that he's "very lucky and very, very happy." "Everybody's just been super excited for me because they know it's been my dream," Davidson, 31, said, adding that he is excited "to take care of something and show it the childhood I didn't have. I assume you just try to give them what you didn't have, and what you didn't like, not do it." Here's a look back at Davidson's relationship with Hewitt, as well as the actor-comedian's romantic history. Expectant dad Pete Davidson says his 'dream' is to be a father March 2025: Pete Davidson, Elsie Hewitt soft-launch relationship after romance rumors The internet first began buzzing about Davidson and Hewitt after paparazzi photos of the pair engaging in beach day PDA were released in March 2025, according to images obtained by the Daily Mail. The then-rumored couple was spotted at a waterfront hotel in Palm Beach, Florida. Davidson and Hewitt quickly soft-launched their relationship when the "Industry" actress posted a video on her Instagram story one day after media speculation began to swirl. The revealing clip showed an old-school rear-projection TV playing the opening credits of the Nickelodeon cartoon "Rugrats." Just as the theme music ended, Davidson made a comedic entrance, smiling and wearing a white robe. July 2025: Pete Davidson, Elsie Hewitt announce pregnancy In a July 16 Instagram post, Hewitt revealed her pregnancy with Davidson by sharing a sweet carousel of photos of the couple, which included a brief clip of the pair looking at their baby's sonogram. Other photos from the post featured a candid shot of Davidson and Hewitt snuggling while Hewitt cradled her growing baby bump, as well as an apropos SpongeBob SquarePants meme that read, "One of y'all hiding your pregnancy, I can feel it." "Welp, now everyone knows we had sex," Hewitt playfully captioned the pregnancy announcement. Hewitt, a 29-year-old model, is the latest woman in a long line of Davidson love interests. Pete Davidson expecting first child with new girlfriend Elsie Hewitt Who is Elsie Hewitt? Hewitt, who boasts 1 million followers on her Instagram account @elsie, has reportedly been previously linked to music producer Benny Blanco and actor Jason Sudeikis. The actress-model was born in London on March 5, 1996, and was raised in England before moving to Los Angeles when she was 10, according to her IMDb bio. She began her career as a model at 18 years old and has starred in notable brand campaigns, including Guess' 2018 spring/summer campaign. Pete Davidson's star-studded relationship history, from Ariana Grande to Kim Kardashian Davidson dated reality-TV star and beauty mogul Kim Kardashian following her split from rapper Ye, formerly Kanye West. Their whirlwind romance was the subject of tabloid fervor and a series of public appearances, including a viral pit stop at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. The pair met after Kardashian made her hosting debut on "Saturday Night Live" in late 2021. After nine months together, the duo split in August 2022. Before dating Kardashian, in 2018, he was engaged to music superstar Ariana Grande, shortly after splitting from ex-girlfriend and fellow comedian Cazzie David. Later that year, he and the Grammy-winning pop star split up after a short-lived romance. Davidson has also been romantically linked to A-list ladies such as Kate Beckinsale, Margaret Qualley, Chase Sui Wonders, Madelyn Cline and Kaia Gerber.
