This 'Devil Wears Prada' Star Is Skipping the Sequel (and I'm Not Exactly Mad About It)

Well, one familiar face won’t be returning—Adrian Grenier. According to Entertainment Weekly, Grenier will not reprise his role as Nate Cooper, Andy’s (often controversial) boyfriend. In case you need a refresher: Nate supported Andy at first, but quickly grew tired of her demanding fashion job, ultimately leading to their breakup after she missed his birthday.

Normally, when a reboot or sequel to a classic gets announced, I want the core cast back. But in this case? No shade to Adrian Grenier, but I’m actually not mad about him reportedly sitting this one out. Given how things ended between Nate and Andy, there’s really not much left to explore there. Their story kind of wrapped itself up. And with so many directions the sequel could go, it doesn’t feel like a huge loss.

As for the rest of the core cast? It looks like they’re all in. Hathaway, Streep, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci are all listed on IMDb for the upcoming sequel. Plot details are still under wraps but 20th Century Studios officially confirmed the project on June 30 with a cheeky Instagram animation—two red stilettos replacing the original poster’s one. The caption? “The Devil Wears Prada 2. Now in production.”
