Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci are all reprising their The Devil Wears Prada roles in the highly anticipated sequel, which hits theaters this week. While those four are locked in, there have been questions about other original cast members returning for The Devil Wears Prada 2 — most notably, Adrian Grenier’s Nate.
So, is Nate in The Devil Wears Prada 2? Here’s a look at the sequel’s confirmed cast, who’s not returning and who else has been added to the mix.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 Cast Members
You can’t do a sequel without Anne Hathaway as Andrea “Andy” Sachs and Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly.
Similarly, it’d feel wrong if Emily Blunt didn’t return as Emily Charlton, who’s also going to play a big role in this movie.
Those three are all back in the mix, along with Stanley Tucci’s Nigel Kipling and Tracie Thoms’ Lily.
Original The Devil Wears Prada Cast Members Who Aren’t In Sequel
Adrian Grenier’s Nate will not be in The Devil Wears Prada 2.
Director David Frankel told Entertainment Weekly, “I had an idea about sneaking him into a cameo, and, in the end, it was just too late in our production schedule to make it happen.”
While the good times kept rolling for his old castmates, Grenier still found a way to get something out of the sequel. Starring in a commercial that talked about his absence from The Devil Wears Prada 2, Grenier joined in on fun, taking shots at the widely disliked Nate.
Along with Grenier’s Nate, the following cast members from the original film are not returning:
- Simon Baker as Christian Thompson
- Stéphanie Szostak as Jacqueline Follet
- Gisele Bündchen as Serena
- Rich Sommer as Doug
- Daniel Sunjata as James Holt
