Anne Hathaway Shares First Look as Andy Sachs in ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2'
Anne Hathaway has officially returned to her iconic role as Andy Sachs in The Devil Wears Prada 2, as revealed in a first-look photo shared on social media by the Oscar-winning actor and 20th Century Studios. The upcoming sequel to the 2006 hit comedy-drama is currently in production, with Hathaway set to reunite with original cast members Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci. Director David Frankel and screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna are also returning to helm the long-anticipated follow-up. In the photo, Hathaway captioned the image 'Andy Sachs 2025,' giving fans a glimpse of her character nearly two decades after the events of the original film. In the first movie, Hathaway's character was an aspiring journalist who took a job as the assistant to fashion magazine editor Miranda Priestly, portrayed by Streep. By the end of the film, Andy left her position at Runway magazine to pursue a journalism career at a major New York newspaper. Plot details for the sequel remain under wraps. However, as reported by Variety, the story is expected to follow Miranda Priestly as she contends with the challenges of a changing media landscape and the decline of traditional magazine publishing. Blunt's character, once her assistant, is now a powerful executive at a luxury fashion conglomerate—setting the stage for a dramatic clash. New additions to the cast include Kenneth Branagh, who is set to play Miranda's husband, along with Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, B.J. Novak, and Pauline Chalamet in unspecified roles. Broadway talents Helen J. Shen and Conrad Ricamora, as well as comedian Caleb Hearon, will also appear. Tracie Thoms and Tibor Feldman are confirmed to reprise their roles from the original film. The Devil Wears Prada 2 is scheduled to hit theaters on May 1, 2026, via 20th Century Studios and Disney.

Adrian Grenier Won't Return for ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2'
For fans of The Devil Wears Prada, it might feel like the sequel has been moving at a glacial pace. The original movie came out almost 20 years ago, and rumors of a potential sequel have been running wild ever since. Now that the Devil Wears Prada sequel is officially in production, however, things are moving fast. So fast that you may have missed the news that Adrian Grenier is not returning for The Devil Wears Prada 2. Adrian, of course, played Andy's whiny, chef boyfriend Nate Cooper, in The Devil Wears Prada. In the film, Nate acts as Andy's conscience, checking her when she gets in too deep at Runway magazine and loses herself in the fashion and the glamour. And while this behavior may have been charming in 2006, in the years since, Nate has emerged as enemy number 1. As a man who didn't support Andy when she had a very unreasonable job, he became the true villain of The Devil Wears Prada. Needless to say, fans were not clamoring for his return, and now they don't have to worry. Two sources reportedly confirmed to Entertainment Weekly that Adrian is not involved in The Devil Wears Prada 2 and will not be in the sequel. Anne Hathaway, who starred as Andy, is returning, though, so I guess Andy finally realized that it takes more than puppy dog eyes and a good grilled cheese to make a supportive partner. Adrian has not commented on the sequel news—he's busy appearing on a Prime Video reality show called Crypto Knights. (Yes, it's real. No, I cannot tell you more.) But he has discussed the character's fall from grace before. 'It hadn't occurred to me until I started to really think about it,' Adrian told EW in a 2021 oral history when asked about the backlash to Nate's character. 'And perhaps it was because I was as immature as Nate was at the time, and in many ways he's very selfish and self-involved. It was all about him, he wasn't extending himself to support Andy in her career.'

The Devil Wears Prada confirms sequel - but this key character won't return
Iconic film The Devil Wears Prada is in the works for a second sequel after almost 20 years, but a famous face won't be returning as part of the star-studded cast. After years of speculation and some hints in between, it has finally been confirmed. The Devil Wears Prada will have a second sequel, but a controversial character won't be returning. A sequel to The Devil Wears Prada is on its way after almost two decades since its debut. The happy news was shared by 20th Century Studios, who surprised viewers by also saying that production had already begun. As reported by Entertainment Weekly, the famous cast will consist of Hollywood and returning stars, Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci. Of course, the storyline will be directed by David Frankel and written by Aline Brosh McKenna. However, one face that won't be reprising his role is Adrian Grenier. Grenier portrayed Nate Cooper in the 2006 film, Andy Sachs' (Anna Hathaway) boyfriend from university. At the beginning of the film, both were portrayed as a happy couple with professional careers, Andy as a journalist at Runway magazine under Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep) and Nate as a sous chef. Throughout the film, his relationship with Andy became tricky as her career took off, creating a few fights as well as a temporary breakup, following her late arrival at his birthday celebration. Even though the couple ended up reconciling, viewers labelled Nate's character as the 'true villain' for his lack of support. Towards the end of the film, the couple goes their separate ways, as Andy pursues her career in New York, and Nate takes a job in Boston. Fans expressed their excitement amid the sequel news. Some were happy that Nate's character wouldn't interfere with Andy's career, but others were hoping he would make a return. A fan commented: 'The real villain of the film. Jarlsberg was more important to him than Andy.' A second one, added: 'Good, and he can take his burnt grilled cheese with him.' Another viewer wrote on X: 'Nate never was the real villain in devil wears prada and if you think he was, you completely missed the point of the story.'

'Nate Cooper will be missed in 'THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA 2'. Adrian Grenier's character was special in the film, the fun will be incomplete without him!' During the cast's 2021 reunion, Grenier spoke about his character being considered the villain of the story. He said: 'All those memes that came out were shocking to me. It hadn't occurred to me until I started to really think about it, and perhaps it was because I was as immature as Nate was at the time and in many ways he's very selfish and self-involved, it was all about him, he wasn't extending himself to support Andy in her career.' 'At the end of the day, it's just a birthday, right? It's not the end of the world,' he added. The actor explained that he didn't realise how immature his actions were until he came much older and had 'time to reflect and much deliberation.' The 2006 film was adapted from former Vogue assistant Lauren Weisberger's book of the same name. She worked for Anna Wintour, Vogue's former Editor-in-Chief, who recently stepped down from her position in the iconic magazine after 37 years. A release date is yet to be announced. However, according to the reports, the movie is expected to be released in 2026.
