Meanwhile, Tracie Thoms and Tibor Feldman are both set to reprise their roles from the original as Lily and Irv Ravitz respectively, but there is no room for Adrian Grenier – with Entertainment Weekly reporting that he won't be back as Nate Cooper.
It first emerged that Disney was developing a follow-up to the original 2006 film last year, and this May it was confirmed that the sequel had been dated for release on 1st May 2026.
The original was based on Lauren Weisberger’s 2003 novel and follows Andrea (Hathaway) as she lands a job working for Miranda Priestly (Streep), the Anna Wintour-esque editor of a major New York fashion magazine.
The film was a huge commercial hit upon release and earned Streep an Oscar nomination, with its stature having only grown since then as it remains a popular favourite on streaming.
Previous reports have suggested that the sequel will see Miranda, still editor-in-chief of Runway Magazine but facing the decline of the traditional publishing industry, as she faces off against her former assistant Emily (Blunt), who is now a powerful executive at a luxury brand.
In addition to her role as Kate in Bridgerton, Ashley's previous credits have included Sex Education and the Prime Video film Picture This, while she recently had a planned role in F1 the Movie cut from the final film – although director Joseph Kosinski said he "would love to work with her again".
The Devil Wears Prada 2 will be released on 1st May 2026.
