Adrian Grenier Will Not Return for The Devil Wears Prada Sequel
In a recent update, it has been confirmed that Adrian Grenier will not reprise his role in the upcoming sequel to "The Devil Wears Prada." Grenier, who played Nate Cooper—the college boyfriend of Andy Sachs, portrayed by Anne Hathaway—gained popularity for his character in the original film.
The news comes as filming for "The Devil Wears Prada 2" has already commenced, as announced by 20th Century Studios. While the sequel will see the return of key cast members like Hathaway, Meryl Streep, and Emily Blunt, Grenier’s absence raises questions about the direction of the story.
In the original film, Nate was often seen as a hindrance to Andy’s career aspirations, as he struggled to adjust to her new life in the fashion industry. Fans have even labeled him as the "real villain" of the story, a sentiment Grenier himself has acknowledged in recent interviews.
Reflecting on his character’s role, Grenier shared that it took him time to understand Nate’s shortcomings. He noted that, at the time, he was as immature as his character, unable to see how his actions affected Andy.
A release date for the sequel has yet to be announced, but reports suggest it could arrive in theaters on May 1, 2026. As production continues, fans eagerly await more news from this beloved franchise.
