‘The Devil Wears Prada' sequel: Here's what we know so far
After 19 years and some mixed messages from the cast, 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' is officially in production and set to hit theaters in May.
The original film, based on the 2003 bestselling novel by Lauren Weisberger, is set in the cutthroat New York City fashion industry. Here's everything we know so far about the upcoming sequel.
Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci will be reprising their roles for the highly anticipated sequel.
Joining the stars onscreen will be Tracie Thoms — who played Lily, the best friend of Anne Hathaway's character, Andy Sachs — and Tibor Feldman, who is reprising his role as Irv Ravitz, chairman of Runway's parent company, Elias-Clarke.
Director David Frankel, who led the first film to a $326 million worldwide box office haul, will be returning, as will screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna (co-creator of 'Crazy Ex-Girlfriend').
Adrian Grenier's Nate Cooper, Andy's boyfriend who's since been dubbed by the internet as the 'real villain' of the film, reportedly won't be back for the sequel.
Kenneth Branagh will join the cast to play the husband of Streep's character, Miranda Priestly. Other notable additions include actors Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, B. J. Novak and Pauline Chalamet.
While plot details are being kept under wraps, the movie reportedly follows Streep's Miranda as she navigates a floundering magazine publishing industry. and reunites with Blunt's character, Emily Charlton, who is now a high-powered executive. The movie is set nearly 10 years after the original and may also borrow from the book's 2013 sequel, 'Revenge Wears Prada: The Devil Returns.' Let's hope there's a nod to Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, the inspiration for Miranda's character, stepping down from her post.
Disney's 20th Century Studios announced the start of production with a stylish teaser on June 30. The movie will open in theaters May 1, giving fans plenty of time to get ready.
If you're itching for a refresh, you can stream the original 'The Devil Wears Prada' on Disney+ and Hulu. The movie is also available to rent on Prime Video.

M&A News: 'A Pure-Play Studio' Lionsgate Studios (NYSE:LION) an Acquisition Target
There was once a time, back when video stores dotted the landscape and buying a DVD at an electronics retailer was a thing of charming simplicity, that movie producer Lionsgate Studios (LION) ruled the landscape in the field of direct-to-video releasing. But those days are gone, perhaps forever, and Lionsgate now finds itself a potential acquisition target. The news did little good for Lionsgate stock, however, as investors sent shares down over 2.5% in the closing minutes of Monday's trading.

Make smarter investment decisions with TipRanks' Smart Investor Picks, delivered to your inbox every week. Lionsgate is drawing interest from Legendary Entertainment LLC. Backed by Apollo Global Management (APO), Legendary is the studio behind, among other things, the recent hit remake of Dune. After Lionsgate separated itself from the Starz Entertainment Group, which runs the Starz line of cable movie channels as well as a streaming service, Lionsgate proved more attractive to Legendary, reports noted. As a 'pure-play studio,' noted Geetha Ranganathan of Bloomberg Intelligence, the deal makes sense, and reports suggest that the two are already looking into producing some movies together to see how they might work together. And with around a third of Lionsgate's revenue coming from its stable of library content—and that at a '…high profit margin…'—the end result is an attractive proposition for Legendary. Kid-Friendly Cuts Within Hours With AI Meanwhile, Lionsgate also revealed, not so long ago, that it was very much prepared to make artificial intelligence (AI) part of everyday operations. In fact, Lionsgate even had use cases ready, including the ability to adjust a movie's rating—not especially hard; removing a few extra obscenities or a particularly violent scene can drop a movie from R to PG-13 in rapid fashion—or to make it 'kid-friendly.' Lionsgate looks to turn to the Runway platform, setting up what reports called Runway's '…first deal with a Hollywood studio.' Vice chairman Michael Burns described how AI allows Lionsgate to '…make movies and television shows we'd otherwise never make.' The judicious use of AI, reports noted, can cut production costs in half and, just like magic, make a property viable. Is Lionsgate a Good Stock to Buy? Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Moderate Buy consensus rating on LION stock based on five Buys and two Holds assigned in the past three months, as indicated by the graphic below. After a 16.19% loss in its share price over the past year, the average LION price target of $9 per share implies 31.2% upside potential.

Meet The New Wave of Celebrity Offspring Taking Over Fashion Week in 2025
The fashion industry loves a famous name. Fresh crops of celebrity kids-turned-runway-habitués spring up in tandem with the fashion seasons, some lucky enough to have more staying power than others. Hailey Bieber, Kaia Gerber, Lila Moss, and the Kardashian-Jenners have now become household names, with social media accounts and booming businesses that amass millions of followers and dollars (in Bieber's case, billions). Unsurprisingly, hot off the heels of the latest round of menswear and couture shows, there is a new generation of celebrity offspring to get acquainted with. Kai Schreiber, the 16-year-old model-actress and daughter of Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber, stomped onto the fashion scene last March, walking the Valentino show in Paris. Shortly after that, she signed with IMG and scored a campaign for the Alessandro Michele-helmed French house alongside another rising star, Scarlett White (daughter of Karen Elson and Jack White). Just over a week ago, the leggy blonde with an affinity for pairing Adidas pants with Margiela Tabi boots proved she was more than a one-season wonder, spotted both on the runway at Michael Rider's Celine debut and front row at Demna's swan-song Balenciaga couture show alongside her mother just a few days later. It's safe to say that this is just the beginning of Schreiber's fashion industry takeover, with high expectations that she will be all over the runways (and campaigns) come September. However, Schreiber is certainly not the only new girl in town worth noting. Romy Mars, the 18-year-old actress, singer, and daughter of filmmaker Sofia Coppola and musician Thomas Mars, has been making waves while garnering thousands of views on TikTok since 2023. Her most viral moment was the result of her being grounded for trying to charter a helicopter using her rock star dad's credit card. Famous kids, they're just like us. Except not. Coppola has been known to keep Mars and her younger sister Cosima, 15, out of the public eye, apart from Romy's appearance in her grandfather Francis Ford Coppola's film Megalopolis in 2024 and the release of her 'A-Lister' song and music video this past May (yes, Mom directed the project). But the three women embraced the spotlight together last week at the Chanel couture show in Paris, donning matching pastel looks that were very much to be remembered. And of course, Mars documented the experience for her collective 500k-plus following on Instagram and TikTok. On the menswear scene, it's Lennon, 25, and Gene, 23, Gallagher, sons of Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher (Lennon's mom is Patsy Kensit and Gene's is Nicole Appleton), who are on the style set's radar. It doesn't hurt that their father's band is currently having a reunion tour, the first after a 16-year hiatus—leading to a surge in press for all of the Gallagher kids. Last month, Lennon and Gene sat front row at Anthony Vaccarello's latest outing for Saint Laurent menswear. Gene is a newer face in comparison to Lennon, who made his modeling debut on the runway at Topman in 2017 before going on to work with Saint Laurent, Burberry, and most recently, Tod's. This past April saw the celebration of the Italian house's iconic Gommino loafer, with a campaign titled 'Italian Diaries' that was shot by Oliver Hadlee Pearch at Villa Talamo in Tuscany. In front of the camera were five children of Hollywood's elite: Lennon Gallagher, actress and singer Ella Bleu Travolta, daughter of John Travolta and Kelly Preston; writer and director Stella Banderas, daughter of Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith (which also makes her Dakota Johnson's half sister); model and artist Roberto Rossellini, son of Isabella Rossellini; and singer and actor Leo Gassmann, son of filmmaker Alessandro Gassmann. It's certainly not a new phenomenon, but a famous last name is still a hot ticket for teens and twentysomethings looking to break into the fashion industry. Front-row seats at runway shows and starring roles in seasonal campaigns seamlessly come along with the gig, often with no strings attached—apart from an Instagram story or TikTok video on their covetable platforms. But maintaining star power and expanding their reach to become the next founder of a brand like Rhode or the Fashion Awards Model of the Year is something that they will have to do on their own. After all, without the legacy, a name is simply a name.
