‘Devil Wears Prada 2' Cast: Full List
The original film's actors-including Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci-will appear alongside newcomers like Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux and B.J. Novak, Variety reported.
Newsweek reached out to 20th Century Studios via email for comment on Wednesday.
The Devil Wears Pradawas released in 2006 and earned more than $326 million at the box office worldwide, per Box Office Mojo.
The movie is based on Lauren Weisberger's 2003 novel of the same name and follows the story of Andrea "Andy" Sachs (Anne Hathaway), an aspiring journalist. Sachs is hired as an assistant to high-fashion magazine editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly (Streep), but she struggles to keep up with the demands of the job.
The confirmed actors set to star in The Devil Wears Prada 2 cast so far are:
Meryl Streep (Miranda Priestly)Anne Hathaway (Andrea "Andy" Sachs)Emily Blunt (Emily Charlton)Stanley Tucci (Nigel)Tibor Feldman (Irv Ravitz)Tracie Thoms (Lily)Lucy LiuJustin TherouxB.J. NovakPauline ChalametHelen J. ShenConrad RicamoraCaleb Hearon
The Devil Wears Prada director David Frankel, producer Karen Rosenfelt and screenplay writer Aline Brosh McKenna will also be returning.
The sequel was first announced in July 2024, and 20th Century Studios' official Instagram account revealed on June 30, 2025 that The Devil Wears Prada 2 is "now in production."
Following The Devil Wears Prada 2's confirmation last year, Streep took to her Instagram, writing: "Miranda will return."
Hathaway will be reprising her role as Mia Thermopolis in The Princess Diaries 3, and she spoke about the film, as well as The Devil Wears Prada sequel, in an interview with Women's Wear Daily in December: "I was so beautifully cared for on both of those films. I was a baby, like a legal child, when I made Princess Diaries-I turned 18 while we were making it, and I was a very, very young woman when I made Devil Wears Prada. I was so guided and looked after and cared for by the communities that made both of those films in particular, each of their directors, Garry Marshall and David Frankel. I'm so excited that now I can do that for other people, that now I have the knowledge and the experience and the confidence to take care of other people on sets in which I'm looked at as a leader."
Blunt previously said she was torn on a Devil Wears Prada sequel during a 2018 appearance on The Jess Cagle Interview: "If everyone did it, I would be up for it. I don't know if there's going to be a second film. I almost hope it doesn't [happen] because I think sometimes when you sequel everything, [it] kind of dilutes how special the original is."
The Devil Wears Prada 2 is slated to hit theaters on May 1, 2026.

Dog Found With Horrific Injuries To Back, Camera Captures Life Now
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A viral TikTok video with 8.4 million views shows the heartbreaking rescue of a black pit bull found with severe wounds on his back—so severe that his skin was peeling away. The dog's new owner was on his way to trucking school in June when he came across the injured canine. "No one was able to take him so I decided I would because I couldn't just leave him there," he told Newsweek. "So on my lunch I took him home, gave him something to eat and gave him a bath. "Since then I've been feeding him, cleaning his wound and giving him TLC and he's pretty much made a full recovery." (L-R) A close up of Dune's back and face. (L-R) A close up of Dune's back and face. TikTok/@dunetherescuepup The viral video shared to @dunetherescuepup shows the initial state of the dog called Dune's back and a more recent clip of the healing wounds. Although the skin has improved, the fur has yet to return. "He's still timid at times when going outside but he loves his new home and I love him too," the owner added. Animal cruelty includes intentional acts such as animal fighting, bestiality, and physical abuse (beating, burning, poisoning, or torturing), with some abusers harming pets to control humans. An estimated 10 million animals die from abuse or cruelty every year in the United States, according to the Shelter Animals Count. While most states have felony-level cruelty laws, many exempt activities like research, euthanasia, farming, hunting, pest control, and rodeos. The National District Attorneys Association states animal neglect involves failing to meet basic needs, including abandonment, lack of food or shelter, medical neglect, hoarding, and puppy mills. Although all states prohibit neglect, cases can be hard to detect and prosecute, especially large-scale ones. Investigating cruelty and neglect is complex due to the need for circumstantial and forensic evidence, financial burdens of seizing animals, and strong community reactions, requiring specialized resources and training for prosecutors.

TikTok/@dunetherescuepup So far, the internet is horrified by the viral video of Dune that has 1 million likes and more than 13,000 comments. "I can't even look at the poor baby, I can feel his pain," said one user "What evil did this to him. God poor little one," said another comment with 43,000 likes, at the time of writing. "He must've been in so much pain yet his tail was still wagging, poor boy," said a third user. Indeed, dogs can remember past trauma, but with time, patience, and compassion, they often learn to trust and love again.

Pere Vilà Barceló Shows the Aftermath of Rape – and ‘Long, Complex' Journey Toward Healing – in ‘When a River Becomes the Sea'
Catalan filmmaker Pere Vilà Barceló talks about rape in 'When a River Becomes the Sea.' But he never, ever intended to show it. 'We're focusing on trauma and the process of healing. It's a long and complex journey that many women shared with us in great detail – sometimes even more so than the assault itself,' he tells Variety. More from Variety European Producers Praise New Czech Investment Obligation for Major Streamers, Say Trump Tariffs Turned U.S. Market 'Stone Cold' 'Better Go Mad in the Wild' Review: Twin Brothers Love, Hate and Live Off the Land in an Enchanting Czech Original 'Fucktoys' Review: Annapurna Sriram's Saucy and Singular Sex Comedy Tests the Limits of Good Taste Premiering at Karlovy Vary Film Festival, his intimate drama is about 'moments that don't appear in news headlines,' he explains. 'It explores the margins of the emotional, psychological and social aftermath that often remains invisible. For us, this wasn't only a cinematic choice. It was a matter of respect.' He adds: 'We even shot a courtroom scene but chose to leave it out to avoid re-victimization and any sense of voyeurism or sensationalism. Many survivors describe the judicial process as a second assault, since they often face institutional violence as well. Being doubted, retraumatized or treated without sensitivity.' That's what happens to Gaia as well. The young archaeology student – played by Claud Hernández – is unable to speak about what happened to her for the longest time. When she finally reveals her boyfriend assaulted her, she's met with doubt and dismissal. 'It's something I've heard again and again. Victims are doubted, isolated and dismissed, while the aggressor goes on with his life as if nothing happened, without even being fully aware of the harm he has caused,' observes the director. 'This points to a lack of education, and to the fact that both men and women are raised within a patriarchal society. That's also why I wanted to introduce this archaeological concept – not just as a metaphor, but as a scientific and evolutionary approach. The professor explores historical roots of patriarchy: when did it begin, how did it take shape and who enforced it?' Produced by Xavier Pérez Díaz for Fromzerocinema, 'When a River Becomes the Sea' is 'not just a film,' says Vilà Barceló, but a project 'rooted in social activism and awareness.' One that allowed him to connect with several associations of survivors of gender-based violence. 'These collaborations have helped us bring visibility to their voices and their message,' he says, mentioning testimonies of more than 100 women who have experienced physical and psychological violence, as well as insights from psychologists specialized in the field. 'I'm also working on a series of documentary pieces, including interviews and reports, that – together with the film – can serve as educational and pedagogical tools to foster reflection and awareness.' The whole project started eight years ago, when he was leading a filmmaking workshop at a high school in his hometown. 'When it came to decide the subject of the short film the students would make, someone suggested addressing sexual abuse. Some of the young girls – just 14 or 15 years old – began to share personal experiences of abuse they'd gone through. It deeply affected me.' He wanted to better understand the issue. 'I started conducting interviews with the survivors of all ages. It has not only changed the way I see the world; it has changed me, profoundly. As a person, as a filmmaker, I carry these stories with me.' At one point in the film, desperate and confused, Gaia wonders: 'Is it always going to be like this?' 'It's not just a moment of despair – it's a moment of disorientation. She no longer recognizes herself. She doesn't understand the person she has become, or why someone, against her will, has forced this change upon her,' he says about the scene. 'I remember one interview with a 14-year-old girl who gave a powerful description of how she felt. She said: 'It's like someone unzipped me, took everything out, scrambled it all up, then stuffed it all back inside and zipped me up again.' When Gaia asks that question, what she's really asking is: 'Will I ever go back to who I was?' And sadly, the answer is no.' Instead, she'll go through a painful process that'll 'lead her to become someone else, with a deeper understanding of herself.' And she'll do it with the help of her father (Àlex Brendemühl), even though he feels helpless at first. 'Her father finds himself unable to communicate with someone he's known since the day she was born. He has no idea how to reach her. She enters a new emotional code that neither he, nor most of the people around her, are equipped to understand. They haven't been taught how to process or recognize certain emotions.' Vilà Barceló couldn't ignore the fact that sexual violence also 'profoundly affects the fathers, brothers and partners of many women.' 'That's why it felt essential to focus on his ongoing effort, his struggle to understand something that, to him, was unimaginable,' he notes, intending to portray the kind of masculinity 'that's not toxic, but compassionate.' 'Most people are not prepared, or sometimes not even willing, to face situations like the one portrayed in the film. Her father, despite not having that emotional education, chooses to look directly at his daughter and stay by her side. His presence is quiet, but for me, that's a powerful gesture.' He says: 'Men also need to be a part of the struggle for equality and that starts with caring for the people we love. This is an issue that should affect all of us, regardless of gender.'

Cindy Drake A nonstop talking bird touched our hearts, earning himself the title of Newsweek's Pet of the Week. Cindy Drake and her family taught this nearly 2-year-old Indian ringneck parakeet named Sonny scripture passages, she told Newsweek via email. Unexpectedly, he's been taking it upon himself to continue quoting verses, stepping into the role of a preacher. "He talks every day and especially loves to say 'Hallelujah, praise the Lord, Amen,'" Drake said. But Sonny doesn't stop at just quoting the Bible. Drake said he also loves saying "Good morning, Sunshine," and "What's up, Buttercup?" Finalists A photo of an owner's cats, Pepper and Rocky, who remind her of her dad who passed in October. A photo of an owner's cats, Pepper and Rocky, who remind her of her dad who passed in October. Brenda Tucker Leonard Brenda Tucker Leonard's father has always been an animal lover. He would befriend the stray cats in the neighborhood and owned a few himself. And at 90, he wanted to own one more kitten, she told Newsweek via email. He first owned Pepper, but the cat "chose" Tucker Leonard instead, which led to a friend whom he helped mentor in making jewelry with quahog shells, surprising him with a kitten of his own. He loved the kitten up until the end. After his passing in October, his daughter took in the kitten, Rocky. Now, the two cats are together, enjoying their best life with her and the dogs. These curious cats are energetic, curious and know their names. She loves them, especially as they're a daily reminder to her of her dad and his lifelong love of animals.

Cindy Bigelow Next up, we have Gus, a 3-year-old chocolate cocker spaniel, who is "needy" for attention. He's always been curious and joyful. Cindy Bigelow shared a photo progression of Gus sneaking his way into her lap, which happens often. He can't get enough of being with his humans. It doesn't matter if they're sitting in the recliner, in the kitchen or bathroom, he'll cozy himself right up next to them. "In this photo, I was sitting with my legs crossed, and he felt he needed to see what I was doing," she told Newsweek via email. "So, he slowly pressed his face through the opening between my knee and leg." Photo of a dog named Stella watching over the turtle, Waffles, who was enjoying a soak in the pool.

Monica Blons Last, but not least, we have a dog taking safety into her own paws after becoming concerned while a turtle enjoyed a soak in the pool. Monica Blons shared a photo of her dog, Stella, standing at the edge of the pop-up pool. The dog peered down with her nose right up against the turtle's back. The turtle, Waffles, was sitting calmly in the water, but Stella didn't want to put anything to chance as the "lifeguard" of the pool. If you think your pet could be next week's Newsweek "Pet of the Week," send us your funny and heartwarming videos and pictures of your pet, along with a bit about them to life@ and they could appear in our "Pet of the Week" lineup.
