The runway is heating up once again. Nearly two decades after the original dazzled audiences with stilettos, sarcasm, and cerulean sweaters, The Devil Wears Prada 2 is shaping up to be one of Hollywood’s most anticipated sequels. This after the announcement of eight major additions to its cast. Get ready as stars from Bridgerton, Kill Bill, and The Office are join the party.
While Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt are all expected to reprise their iconic roles (with varying levels of confirmation), the casting of these new faces signals that the sequel is aiming for a rich blend of legacy and reinvention.
So, who’s joining the editorial battlefield?
- Phoebe Dynevor (Bridgerton) – Known for her period-piece poise, Dynevor is expected to play a young, upstart editor who challenges the Runway status quo.
- Lucy Liu (Kill Bill, Elementary) – With her razor-sharp presence, Liu will reportedly portray a rival fashion mogul threatening Miranda Priestly’s empire.
- John Krasinski (The Office) – Trading Dunder Mifflin for designer boardrooms, Krasinski’s role is under wraps, but sources hint he’s a tech disruptor with fashion ambitions.
- Ziwe Fumudoh – The comedian and interviewer will likely bring biting satire to the fashion world, possibly as a podcast host critiquing the industry’s elitism.
- Zoë Kravitz – The style icon and Big Little Lies star is said to play a mysterious influencer whose loyalty lies with whoever pays best.
- Ben Barnes (Shadow and Bone) – Rumoured to play a conflicted creative director caught between old-school fashion values and Gen Z rebellion.
- Kaitlyn Dever (Dopesick) – Set to portray an intern with a secret double life with one foot in couture, the other in activism.
- Dan Levy (Schitt’s Creek) – Fashion-forward and fabulous, Levy joins as Miranda’s new right-hand man, described as “deadpan with better shoes.”
The Devil Wears Prada 2 is reportedly set in a rapidly changing media landscape, where Runway magazine is struggling to stay relevant amidst digital influencers, AI stylists, and cancel culture. Miranda Priestly’s reign isn’t safe anymore with the new generation coming in fast, filtered, and fearless.
With an ensemble this dynamic, expect clashes, couture, and some of the most scathing monologues this side of Paris Fashion Week.
