According to reports, Adrian Grenier, of Entourage fame, who appeared in the original Prada film as Andy’s boyfriend, will not be returning.
Meanwhile, Brammall confirmed his part in the new film with a celebratory post to his Instagram.
The fan favourite shared a screengrab from industry blog Deadline announcing his exciting new gig which he signed with a cheeky caption that said: ‘Girding my loins’.
The sequel will reunite Hathaway with original star, Hollywood legend and Oscar winner Meryl Streep, who returns as her ruthless fashion guru character Miranda Priestly.
Original cast members Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci will also reprise their roles, alongside new cast members Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, B.J. Novak, and Pauline Chalamet.
Also joining the cast is American actress Rachel Bloom, from Stan’s streaming hit Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.
In the sequel, Blunt’s character, Emily Charlton, has climbed the corporate ladder and now holds the power Miranda needs – setting the stage for a delicious clash of ambition, loyalty, and fashion politics.
While plot details are still under wraps, sources suggest the film may draw inspiration from Lauren Weisberger’s 2013 novel Revenge Wears Prada, which follows Andy’s post-Runway life as she becomes a magazine editor, only to find Miranda crashing back into her world.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 is slated to hit theatres on May 1, 2026, marking two decades since the original film strutted into pop culture history. Hathaway and Meryl Streep are pictured in the original 2006 hit

It comes after Brammall and his partner Harriet Dyer welcomed a baby girl into the world in February.
The happy couple, who also play on-screen love interests in their series Colin From Accounts, announced the news to Instagram.
Sharing a reel of family images, the parents revealed their newborn’s sweet name.
‘Welcoming little Mabel. We love her so much and we’re all very grateful. 2/2/2025,’ Harriet, 36, wrote.
Harriet and Patrick first became parents in September 2021 when they adopted Joni from her ‘incredible birth mother’.
The married couple, who tied the knot in 2021, co-created Colin From Accounts and the series has risen to global acclaim since its 2022 launch.
The first series explored the lives of Ashley and Gordon, two complex individuals who are brought together following a fateful car accident and an injured dog.
The pair launched a second successful series last year.
