The Full Cast Of 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' Has Finally Been Announced, And It Looks *Delicious*
It was a great day when news broke that a sequel to the iconic The Devil Wears Prada was in the works. But it just got even better—new cast members have been announced, and I couldn't be more excited.
Based on a 2003 book of the same name, The Devil Wears Prada was a massive success after its release in 2006, earning $326 million worldwide. The story revolves around Andrea "Andy" Sachs, a budding journalist, who ends up working as an assistant to the temperamental Miranda Priestly, the editor-in-chief of Runway, a coveted fashion magazine. So, it's ABOUT DAMN TIME we had a sequel to see what our favorite characters are up to.
First off, the original cast members of The Devil Wears Prada— Anne Hathaway (Andy Sachs), Meryl Streep (Mirana Priestly), Emily Blunt (Emily Charlton), Stanley Tucci (Nigel Kipling), and Lily (Tracy Thoms)—are set to return.
Nate Cooper, Andy's boyfriend in the film (played by Adrian Graneir) will not be coming back. Probably for the best (iykyk).
Joining this sequel are some fiiiine actors: Simone Ashely, Lucy Liu, BJ Novak, Justin Theroux, Pauline Chalamet have been officially announced.
Further, Helen J Shen, Conrad Ricamora, as well as comedian Caleb Hearon have joined the sequel. Oscar winner Kenneth Branagh is set to play the role of Miranda Priestly's husband.
Creators of the first film—director David Frankel, producer Karen Rosenfelt, and screenplay writer Aline Brosh McKenna will be returning for the sequel, so we know there's something BREWING.
Reports say that the sequel will focus on Miranda Priestly as she deals with the slow death of traditional magazine publishing. In an interesting twist, she will come face-to-face with her former assistant, Emily, a powerful executive whose help Priestly would need.
