Lucy Liu Joins 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' Runway Along With Justin Theroux, B. J. Novak And Others
Lucy Liu ( Charlie's Angels ), Justin Theroux ( Beetlejuice Beetlejuice ), B. J. Novak ( The Office ) and Pauline Chalamet (The Sex Lives of College Girls ) will be hitting the runway of The Devil Wears Prada 2 . Other new faces include Broadway stars Helen J. Shen (Maybe Happy Ending ) and Conrad Ricamora ( Oh, Mary! ), as well as Caleb Hearon (Jurassic World Dominion ). Photo credit: Santiago Felipe / Getty Images Other than original stars Meryl Streep ( Mamma Mia! ), Anne Hathaway ( The Idea of You ), Emily Blunt ( Fall Guy ), and Stanley Tucci ( The Hunger Games trilogy), there will be two other actresses reprising their roles from the original film. Tracie Thoms ( Rent ), who played Lily, a sassy supportive art gallery manager who is best friend to Hathaway's Andy, and Tibor Feldman ( Enchanted ), who played Irv Ravitz, the Runway Magazine publisher more concerned with profits than fashion, will both make a return to the big screen in their respective roles. Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep and Emily Blunt in The Devil Wears Prada (2006) Disney's 20th Century Studios is producing The Devil Wears Prada sequel, set for theatrical release on 1 May 2026. While plot details remain under wraps, the story is expected to follow Miranda Priestly (Streep) as she confronts the challenges of a declining print media industry. She will go head-to-head with her former assistant (Blunt), now a powerful executive at a luxury conglomerate that controls the ad revenue Priestly needs. While this isn't the first time that Streep has had a fan favourite movie revisited by filmmakers years after the original, having reprised her role in Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again (2018), ten years after the first film, the return of The Devil Wears Prada is one that fans have been clamouring for a long time. In fact, in 2024, Streep, Blunt, and Hathaway reunited at the SAG Awards to announce the winner of Best Actor in a Comedy Series, with Hathaway and Blunt jokingly quoting iconic lines from The Devil Wears Prada to loud cheers from fans and fellow celebrities alike. David Frankel and Aline Brosh McKenna are returning as director and screenwriter, alongside producer Karen Rosenfelt. The classic original film, based on Lauren Weisberger's novel inspired by her time at Vogue , centred on aspiring journalist Andy Sachs (Hathaway) navigating life under a ruthless fashion editor. The 2006 hit grossed over US$326 million globally and an Oscar nomination for Streep. With the hype around The Devil Wears Prada having built since the triumphant trio's reunion at the 2024 SAG Awards, coupled with the addition of stars such as Liu, Theroux, Novak and Chalamet, fans can undoubtedly look forward to the fashion-forward return of the upcoming sequel. Conversation with Ting Wei is like chatting with a weird AI bot programmed only with One Piece lore and theories, sitcom quotes and other miscellaneous pop culture references. When he's not sleeping, he's highly likely reading manga. In fact, the only thing he reads more than manga is the Bible, and it's honestly pretty close.

'The Devil Wears Prada 2' begins filming with Meryl Streep as fashion's fiercest editor
Fashion's fiercest editor is officially back, and she's not alone. Production has kicked off on The Devil Wears Prada 2, with Oscar-winner Meryl Streep donning Miranda Priestly's icy composure once again. Alongside her are Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci, all reprising their iconic roles from the 2006 hit. The sequel, under the banner of Disney's 20th Century Studios, is set to sashay into cinemas on May 1, 2026. The film, still shrouded in stylish secrecy, also welcomes Kenneth Branagh to the high-stakes world of fashion media. Branagh will play Priestly's husband, a new dynamic that promises fresh intrigue to the story. The studio confirmed the news through an Instagram post. View this post on Instagram A post shared by 20th Century Studios (@20thcenturystudios) The post was captioned, " The Devil Wears Prada 2. Now in production." The 2006 original, based on Lauren Weisberger's bestselling novel, followed aspiring journalist Andy Sachs (Hathaway) as she navigated the world of couture and cruelty under Priestly's command. Now, nearly two decades later, the sequel reportedly sees Miranda grappling with a different challenge: the collapse of the print magazine empire she once ruled. Emily Blunt's character, Emily Charlton, no longer fetches coffee, but has levelled up. As per Variety, she now holds a top role at a luxury conglomerate, one Miranda must court for dwindling advertising dollars. In the cut-throat ballet of modern publishing, tables have turned, and alliances will be tested. Hathaway's Andy Sachs, last seen walking away from Runway, remains a question mark. Her character, now established in traditional journalism, could bring yet another lens to the film's theme of media in transition. Original director David Frankel and screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna are back at the helm. Karen Rosenfelt, producer of the original, also rejoins the production.

"I just hope she's eating a nice French dip sandwich somewhere and she's just happy," she mused to E! last year. "Not a cube of cheese. I hope she's sort of transitioned into a proper sandwich at this point." For fashionably fascinating about The Devil Wears Prada, keep reading.

Everything you need to know about GTA 6 as game listed on Xbox early
Rockstar isn't due to release Grand Theft Auto 6 until May 2026, but Xbox players were shocked to find that the world's most anticipated game was available to download from the Xbox Store a full 11 months ahead of its launch. It was too good to be true, of course. The surprise 328MB download turns out to be a placeholder file, designed to allow Rockstar Games to automatically pre-install the game to Xbox consoles when it does eventually launch next year. Rockstar hasn't even opened pre-orders for GTA 6 yet, but the frenzy around a dummy Xbox download is the latest indication of just how excited fans are to get even the faintest whiff of the game. Why was 'GTA 6' delayed? The CEO of Take-Two, which owns Rockstar Games, has confirmed why the decision was made to delay the release of Grand Theft Auto 6. The game was pushed back from its initial release window of Autumn 2025 to 26 May 2026, and Zelnick said it's because of how 'complex' the game is, describing the delay as a 'worthy investment'. In prepared remarks ahead of an earnings call, Zelnick said: 'I believe affording Rockstar additional time for such a groundbreaking project is a worthy investment. GTA 6 began development in earnest in 2020 following the massive success of Red Dead Redemption 2, and the title is now the most anticipated entertainment property of all time. 'The ambition and complexity of GTA 6 is greater than any previous Rockstar title, and the team is poised to release another astonishing entertainment experience that will exceed players' expectations.' This explanation comes after Rockstar released the second trailer for GTA 6 on 6 May, which had the biggest video launch in history with more than 475 million views across all platforms in its first 24 hours after release. It gave a fresh glimpse of protagonists Lucia and her partner – now confirmed to be named Jason – tearing through the Florida-inspired Vice City. It's the first trailer since the first teaser from December 2023, which shattered YouTube records and has since racked up more than 250 million views itself. The delay itself came on 2 May, shortly after Zelnick hinted a slip was possible despite earlier confidence in a 2025 launch window. While GTA 6 is now on the back burner until 2026, Borderlands 4, which was announced at the same time, is still scheduled to arrive in September. So, what do we know about GTA 6? When is the game releasing? And how much could it cost? We've got all the details about the upcoming instalment of the franchise. 'GTA 6' release date and trailer 2: When will the game launch? The long-awaited second trailer for GTA 6 recently landed, giving fans a fresh look at Vice City and our two new protagonists, but it came with a dose of disappointment. Rockstar officially confirmed that the game won't be arriving in 2025 as originally promised. Instead, it's now set to launch on 26 May 2026, according to a statement shared on the publisher's social media channels. It's not the first time Rockstar has delayed a major release. Take Red Dead Redemption 2, for example. The first teaser for that game arrived in October 2016 with a planned launch in the second half of 2017. It was then delayed twice, first to early 2018, and finally released on 26 October 2018 – a full two years after the teaser dropped. The timeline now looks similar for GTA 6. The game's first trailer debuted in December 2023, promising a 2025 release window. But with the new date set for May 2026, Rockstar appears to be following a familiar pattern. Timeline of 'GTA 6' release date delays Rumours of a GTA 6 delay began circulating in March 2024, when a report from Kotaku revealed insiders at Rockstar believed the game would be pushed to late 2025 or even early 2026. According to the report, development had started to 'fall behind,' with Rockstar leadership concerned the studio wouldn't hit its original target. Just a month earlier, in February 2024, Rockstar mandated a full return to the office for its staff. While the company cited quality and security as reasons, sources told Kotaku it was also driven by mounting pressure to stay on schedule. At the time, Kotaku reported that while early 2025 had once been possible, the studio was now aiming for an Autumn 2025 launch – a sentiment echoed by Zelnick during earnings calls throughout the year. In December 2024, Zelnick teased the game as 'extraordinary and worth waiting for,' adding that it would be 'breathtaking.' That timeline was finally upended when Rockstar officially confirmed the delay and set a new release date of 26 May 2026. The news came just ahead of the release of GTA 6 's second trailer, giving fans a new glimpse at the game's setting and characters. Zelnick has also given recent interviews where he's said when a specific release date is given, it's historically been met in relation to other titles. 'GTA 6' location: Where is Vice City? The second trailer for GTA 6 confirms the game is set in the state of Leonida – Rockstar's fictional take on Florida. Vice City sits at the centre of it all, returning as the main location. This time around, the city looks bigger, more detailed and far more grounded in modern-day culture than the 1980s version seen in previous games. While Vice City still has the flashy beachfronts and neon lights, it now includes everything from pastel hotels and late-night strip clubs to busy roads, local businesses and viral-style social media clips. Areas like Ocean Beach, Little Haiti and the Tisha-Wocka flea market all appear to be part of the city. Landmarks like the VCI airport and Port VC show up again, hinting at a much larger, more complex map. The game will also include locations like the Leonida Keys – a tropical island chain – and Grassrivers, a sprawling swamp region. There's Port Gellhorn, a faded coastal town with run-down shops and motels, and Ambrosia, which is dominated by a sugar refinery and a biker gang. Mount Kalaga, a mountainous rural area in the north, rounds things out. While Vice City is the headline location, GTA 6 is shaping up to be much more than a city map. The wider state of Leonida looks like a vast world, with plenty to explore outside the city. There is speculation that the inclusion of Mount Kalaga and the mention of Gloriana, which could be a fictional state based on neighbouring Georgia, means the game will expand beyond Leonida too. 'GTA 6' story and characters: Who will be the main protagonists in the new game? Rockstar recently released character bios for GTA 6. The two main protagonists are Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos. Jason is a former soldier working for local drug runners in the Keys, while Lucia has just been released from Leonida Penitentiary and is looking for a way to turn her life around. Cal Hampton is Jason's friend and an associate of Brian Heder. He is described as living 'at the low tide of America' and spends his time listening to Coast Guard communications while drinking at home. Brian Heder is a veteran drug smuggler from the Keys. He runs a boat yard with his third wife, Lori, and is allowing Jason to live rent-free at one of his properties in exchange for help with local shakedowns. Boobie Ike is described as a Vice City legend who owns a strip club, recording studio and property portfolio, while Dre'Quan Priest is said to be an aspiring music mogul who runs Only Raw Records and is focused on building his label's reputation in the local music scene. Real Dimez is a rap duo made up of Bae-Luxe and Roxy. They are described as using their time shaking down dealers to fund their music careers and grow their social media following. They are signed to Only Raw Records. Raul Bautista is described as a seasoned bank robber who is always on the hunt for new talent. How much is 'GTA 6' going to cost? There's still no official price, and Take-Two bosses refused to be drawn on revealing how much it will cost despite being asked about it by investors during the most recent earnings call. While rumours have suggested the game could cost up to $150 (£120) due to its reported $1bn to $2bn budget, that seems unlikely. The price of games is rising, though, with Nintendo the first to up the price of one of its star digital games to $80 (£75) with Mario Kart World. Microsoft confirmed it will be following suit and doing the same with some of its first-party titles over the pre-Christmas shopping period. There has been speculation Rockstar is likely to follow suit, however Mafia: The Old Country, published by sister Rockstar company 2K, is being sold at $49.99 (£44.99) and Zelnick said in Take-Two's most recent earnings call the company is focused on giving gamers value for money through its variable pricing model. What console will 'GTA 6' be on, and is 'GTA 6' cross-platform? GTA 6 is officially coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S on 26 May 2026. Rockstar has not confirmed a PC release, and there's no mention yet of a version for PS4, Xbox One or Nintendo Switch 2. A PC version will likely come later, based on Rockstar's usual release pattern. Cross-platform play has not been confirmed. Rockstar hasn't said anything specific about the Nintendo Switch 2, but Zelnick has previously said the Switch's audience has broadened and that 'we actually would fully expect to support Switch [2]', though GTA 6 was not mentioned by name. If it does come to the Switch 2, it'll almost certainly be well after the main launch. There's worse news for 4K support and 60fps. In 2024, Digital Foundry's Richard Leadbetter said the PS5 Pro was unlikely to run GTA 6 at 60fps, explaining that the series has always pushed the CPU hard. Since the PS5 Pro uses the same CPU as the base PS5, experts believe it will likely be locked to 30fps at launch, with possible upgrades later. Tech experts there have since doubled down on these claims after scrutinising the second trailer. While there are currently no deals on the standalone PS5 Slim console, if you buy the console from Very, the retailer will throw in a copy of the PS5 version of GTA 5 for just £10, saving you £10.
