Simone Ashley cast in ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’

Deadline has shared that Simone Ashley has joined the cast of The Devil Wears Prada 2, which will bring back legacy cast members Anne Hathaway as Andy Sachs, Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly, Emily Blunt as Emily, and Stanley Tucci as Nigel. 

The first film came out back in 2006, and the 20th Century Studios' sequel will follow "Streep’s Anna Wintour-like fashion editor, who is facing the headwind decline of the print industry. Her former assistant Emily Charlton is now a bigtime executive in fashion circles, and the two compete for ad revenue."

Kenneth Branagh was previously announced as a new member of the cast and will play Miranda's husband. David Frankel returns to direct with Aline Brosh McKenna, who adapted The Devil Wears Prada from Lauren Weisberger's novel, also back. Producers Wendy Finerman and Karen Rosenfelt are involved as well. 

However, one original cast member who will not be reprising his role is Adrian Grenier, who portrayed Nate Cooper, Andy's boyfriend.
