According to Variety, actors Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, B.J. Novak and Pauline Chalamet have joined the cast of “The Devil Wears Prada 2.” And they won’t be the only new faces around Runway magazine. Other newcomers to the call sheet include Broadway stars Helen J. Shen and Conrad Ricamora, as well as comedian Caleb Hearon. Meanwhile, two recognizable characters, Tracie Thoms, who played Lily, the handbag-loving best friend of Anne Hathaway’s character, and Tibor Feldman, who portrayed Irv Ravitz, the chairman of Runway’s parent company Elias-Clark, will reprise their roles in the sequel. They will appear alongside the original film’s stars, Meryl Streep, Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci. Disney’s 20th Century Studios is backing the sequel, which is currently in production and set to open theatrically on May 1, 2026. David Frankel, who directed the 2006 film, and Aline Brosh McKenna, who penned the original screenplay, are returning for the sequel along with producer Wendy Finerman. Karen Rosenfelt and McKenna will executive produce. Many thanks to Glenn for the heads-up.

“The Devil Wears Prada 2” is heading into production this week two decades after the beloved movie hit theaters, with it set to shoot in New York and Italy. Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci are set for the follow-up film, which is adding Kenneth Branagh to the cast, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter. The 2006 film based on the book of the same name follows Andy (Hathaway), a recent college journalism graduate as she lands one of the most coveted jobs in publishing as the assistant to Anna Wintour stand-in Miranda Priestly (Streep). Andy dives into the world of magazines and high fashion thanks to her fellow assistant (Blunt). The film grossed a massive $326 million at the worldwide box office and earned Streep an Oscar nomination. As previously reported, the sequel will have Priestly, still the head of Runway, contending with the headwinds of publishing, with the magazine now in a diminished state. Blunt’s one-time assistant will now be an executive at a luxury brand conglomerate that advertises with Runway. Branagh will be playing Priestly’s husband, while Tucci will return as Nigel Kipling, who served as the art director of Runway in the first film.

There’s not much happening right now, except eager anticipation towards the Emmy nominations (on July 15), the premiere date for season 5 of “Only Murders in the Building (most probably in August) and any news or official announcement on the sequel for “The Devil Wears Prada”. In the meantime, let’s dwell in the past some more with additional production stills and on-set pictures ranging from 1977 to 1995. Enjoy your weekend.

On Thursday, Meryl Streep was a surprise guest at the The King’s Foundation annual awards ceremony at St. James’s Palace in London. This year marked the foundation’s 35th anniversary, honoring students, teachers, alumni, and partners driving progress in sustainability, traditional heritage skills, and environmental education. Also attending were Kate Winslet, David Beckham, Stanley Tucci, Alan Titchmarsh, and Penny Lancaster, who joined in celebrating winners across nine award categories. King Charles presented the King Charles III Harmony Award, honoring individuals who are committed to promoting harmonious living for people, places, and the planet. This year’s recipient was Professor Muhammad Yunus of Bangladesh, 2006 Nobel Peace Laureate and founder of over 50 social businesses focused on sustainability. Pictures from the event have been added to the photo gallery.

While I always enjoy finding pictures from the past, this time we’re having some very recent image updates. On May 08, Meryl visited the Broadway production of “Good Night, and Good Luck”, starring her “Fantastic Mr. Fox” husband George Clooney. Many thanks to Peg for the heads-up on this one. There’s even more Broadway with a visit to “Merrily We Roll Along” last year, a new behind the scenes image from SNL’s 50th Anniversary Performance with Kate McKinnon. And then there’s “Joni Mitchell and the Joni Jam”, a Los Angeles concert from last October, during which Joni Mitchell was joined on stage by Meryl Streep, Annie Lennox, Elton John and Rita Wilson. All new pictures can be found in the photo gallery. Enjoy.

“Only Murders in the Building” is still filming season 5 in New York – Meryl’s return to the series has been revealed a couple weeks ago (see updates below). Now, Selena Gomez has posted a short behind the scenes video with Meryl, doing an reenactment of one of her many famous “The Devil Wears Prada” lines. You can watch the shorts on Hulu’s Youtube page. While we’re waiting for the new season, let’s dwell in the past a bit longer. Four absolute banger magazine scans have been added to the photo gallery: Two American Cinematographer issues covering “The River Wild” and “The Bridges of Madison County”, a great profile in the British Times Magazine from 2006, and a stunning cover story from the Japanese Switch magazine, featuring some amazing early pictures. Many many thanks for the latter scans to my friend Alvaro. A complete list of updates can be found below. Enjoy your Sunday.

Not bad for a film which hasn’t been made yet. According to Deadline, Disney’s 20th Century Studios has released a couple of new titles to release next year – among them the long-rumored sequel to “The Devil Wears Prada”, coming out on May 1, 2026. As Deadline writes, the sequel to the 2006 blockbuster, which grossed over $326 million, “The Devil Wears Prada 2” is expected to follow Runway magazine’s haughty editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep) as she navigates the challenges of the declining print industry. Disney confirmed development on the film last July, with Aline Brosh McKenna boarding to pen the script. Director David Frankel is expected to return, along with producer Wendy Finerman. While castings haven’t yet been formally announced, it seems a safe bet that we’ll also see the return of Streep’s co-star Emily Blunt and/or lead Anne Hathaway. So, for now, we’re still in unofficial waters.

Director Robert Benton has died on May 11, 2025. Benton was not only one of the most influental screenwriters and directors of the ’70s and ’80s, he put Meryl Streep on the map of film stardom when he directed her in “Kramer vs. Kramer“. After co-writing Hollywood classics, including “Bonnie and Clyde”, “What’s Up, Doc” and “Superman”, Benton received a Best Director and Best Picture Oscars for “Kramer” in 1980, as did Dustin Hoffmann and Meryl Streep. Streep has often credited his openness to make Joanna Kramer more relatable for the audience instead of just being the villain to the story. He let the actress rewrite her courtroom scene – which is most probably the scene that won her the Oscar. Benton and Streep would reteam in 1982 for “Still of the Night“, a Hitchcockian thriller that bombed with critics and audiences. While Streep has said it might be the only film she’d like to erase from her filmography, from an artistic standpoint, the film itself is not as bad as it’s been talked about. Benton would win a third Academy Award for his screenplay for “Places in the Heart” and would continue directing throughout the ’90s and ’00s, including “Nobody’s Fool” and “The Human Stain”. In the above picture, Streep is pictured with Benton, Hoffman and producer Stanley Jaffe, who also died this year, on March 10, at the age of 84.

As previously speculated (see our post below), Meryl Streep is indeed part of “Only Murders in the Building”‘s cast for season 5. Pictures from the New York set have been published today by various news outlets, as you can see below. We can expect season 5 to premiere this August, like the previous seasons. Edit: Additional magazine scans covering the filming have been added to the photo gallery, with many thanks to Alvaro for sending it in.

Hulu’s “Only Murders in the Building” is currently filming season 5. Among the new recurring stars added to the series are Renee Zellweger, Christoph Waltz, Keegan-Michael Key and Téa Leoni. But can we also expect more Meryl? There hasn’t been an official announcement, no set-picutres – and quite a closed story line. After leaving season 3 for Hollywood, Streep’s supporting role of Loretta Durkin was reduced to a guest starring appearance in season 4, at which end her character zips off to New Zealand the morning after the wedding because her Grey’s Anatomy spin-off has relocated there. It felt like the writers thought they’re good for now, but there’s a chance to bring her back. On Thursday’s Jimmy Kimmel Live, newly-minted Academy Award winner Da’Vine Joy Randolph, who plays Detective Donna Williams on the show, promoted her new film and was asked about working with Meryl Streep. When asked by Kimmel if it was “everything she hoped it would be?”. Randolph replies: “Not yet. However, and I say that because I’m greedy, I want more. So if you go back to season 3, I lock her up. So I just put handcuffs on her. But, John Hoffman, the showrunner, told me that he’s gonna make it up to me this season, so yeah.” So, is this confirmation of a return to the series? It’s quite vage and could also mean a bigger arch for Detective Donna Williams – or in fact, more Meryl in season 5. You can watch the conversation (starting at 1:35 minutes) on Jimmy Kimmel Live’s Youtube channel. Let’s see what season 5 will bring us when it most probably premieres in the Summer.
