However, Adrian Grenier won't be returning for the sequel, confirmed by Entertainment Weekly.
Who Did Adrian Grenier Play in the OG ‘Devil Wears Prada’?

Adrian Grenier played Nate (Andy's boyfriend) who became increasingly frustrated as Andy climbed that corporate ladder. Over the years, people have labeled Nate as the real villain of the film for failing to support his girlfriend's ambitions.
Interesting: Grenier himself initially struggled with people considering Nate the villain. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, he said:
“When that whole thing [about Nate being the “real villain” of the film] first came out, I couldn't get my head around it. I didn't understand it. Perhaps it was because I wasn't mature as a man, just as Nate probably could've used a little growing up. I was just as immature as him at the time, so I couldn't see his shortcomings, but, after taking time to reflect and much deliberation online, I can realize the truth in that perspective.”
What Nate's Absence Means for ‘Devil Wears Prada’ Sequel & Andy's Future?
With Nate officially out of the picture, Andy is set for a completely fresh start in the sequel. Could there be new romance on the horizon? Will she be thriving in her career without relationship drama? The possibilities are endless and we're here for independent Andy taking on the world.
Aline Brosh McKenna, the screenwriter behind the original film, gave fans a definitive answer when speaking to Variety back in 2023 by saying:
“Andy and Nate are definitely not together. That much I can tell you.”
Fans Are Glad Nate Won't Be in ‘Devil Wears Prada 2’
“No way their characters should still be together after all these years later anyways. Andy deserves better,” Redditor Fragrant-Camera4860 wrote.
“Good, I f– hate his character. Oh so you can spend a semester on potatoes alone but you can't conceive why someone would want more than one bag? F– all the way off and go cry into your cupcake. He was a self-centered loser.” another fan, KillieNelson on Reddit pointed out.
