Adrian Grenier, known for his role as Nate in the 2006 film 'The Devil Wears Prada,' has shared his disappointment at not being asked to participate in the recently released sequel, which premiered on May 1, 2026.

The sequel, set in a struggling print journalism industry, sees Andy and Miranda Priestly competing against their former colleague Emily. The film features returning stars Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci, alongside new cast members like Justin Theroux and Lady Gaga. David Frankel returns to direct the sequel, with original writers Aline Brosh McKenna and Lauren Weisberger also involved.
