We have some major The Devil Wears Prada 2 casting news to celebrate! Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, B.J. Novak, Pauline Chalamet, Helen J. Shen, Conrad Ricamora, and Caleb Hearon are all set to join Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, Stanley Tucci, Simone Ashley, and Kenneth Branagh.

However, that's not all: Tracie Thoms, who portrayed Lily, and Tibor Feldman, who played Irv Ravitz, will both reprise their roles for the upcoming follow-up film. This comes after it was confirmed that Adrian Grenier will not be involved.

The Devil Wears Prada came out back in 2006, and the sequel will reportedly follow "Runway’s terrifying editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly (Streep) as she navigates her career amid the decline of traditional magazine publishing. She faces off against Blunt’s character, her one-time assistant who is now a high-powered executive for a luxury group, with advertising dollars that Priestly desperately needs."
