From Meryl Streep to Anne Hathaway, these original cast to return with new faces – Firstpost

Recently, the production of The Devil Wears Prada 2, Disney’s sequel to the iconic 2006 film starring Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep and Emily Blunt commenced

Also featuring Stanley Tucci in a pivotal role, The Devil Wears Prada was originally adapted from Lauren Weisberger’s bestselling novel of the same name.

The sequel is set to arrive in cinemas on May 1, 2026. As fans are delighted for the sequel, the main cast members of the film are returning to make the sequel a blockbuster. While Anne Hathaway will reprise her role as Andrea “Andy” Sachs, Meryl Streep will make a comeback as Miranda Priestly with Emily Blunt as Emily Charlton, Stanley Tucci as Nigel Kipling, and Tracy Thoms as Lily. Apart from the star cast, the screenwriter, producer Wendy Finerman, and director David Frankel are also back.

Adrian Grenier who played Andy’s love interest and boyfriend will not return for the sequel. “I didn’t see some of the subtleties and the nuance of this character and what it represented in the film until the wisdom of the masses came online and started to push against the character and throw him under the bus, and I got flak,” he told Entertainment weekly years ago

20th Century Studios announced the start of production via a post on its official Instagram account on Monday evening. The post, which read: “The Devil Wears Prada 2. Now in production,” was reshared by both Hathaway and Tucci on their personal handles.

Directed by David Frankel, the original film followed Andy Sachs (Hathaway), a recent university graduate who lands a job as an assistant to one of New York’s most formidable fashion magazine editors, Miranda Priestly (Streep). What begins as a dream job quickly spirals into a high-pressure role under the ruthless editor, whose standards are as legendary as her wardrobe.

Speculation around the sequel has been rife, with reports last year suggesting that Streep and Blunt may return.
