Thu 10th Jul, 2025

Rumors are swirling around the participation of actress Simone Ashley in the upcoming sequel to the iconic film 'The Devil Wears Prada.' The 'Bridgerton' star has ignited interest with a recent social media post that hints at her involvement in this highly anticipated project.

In her Instagram story, Ashley shared a report from the industry publication 'Deadline,' discussing her potential role in 'The Devil Wears Prada 2.' The post featured a cheerful heart emoji alongside an image of a striking red high heel, further fueling speculation among her four million followers.

According to 'Deadline,' Ashley is set to join a star-studded cast, including returning members from the original 2006 film such as Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci. This ensemble promises to bring back the charm and wit that made the original a cultural phenomenon.

Last week, 20th Century Studios confirmed that production on the sequel has officially begun. Reports from several industry outlets, including 'Variety' and 'People,' suggest that the film will also feature Oscar-winning actor Kenneth Branagh, along with Lucy Liu and Justin Theroux.

The original 'The Devil Wears Prada' followed the story of a young woman navigating the challenges of working as an assistant to the formidable fashion editor Miranda Priestly, a character inspired by the real-life Vogue editor Anna Wintour. As fans eagerly await the sequel, details about the plot remain under wraps, with a scheduled release date set for 2026.

Simone Ashley has gained recognition not only for her role in 'Bridgerton' but also for her performance in the Netflix series 'Sex Education.' Her casting in 'Prada 2' marks another significant step in her rising career as she joins a list of esteemed actors.

The excitement surrounding the sequel is palpable, with fans of the original film eagerly anticipating how the new narrative will unfold and how Ashley's character will fit into the established world of fashion and drama.
