Earlier today, “Only Murders in the Building” received 7 Emmy nominations (make it 8 if you count a nomination for Hulu’s making of featurette for season 4 – there seem to be categories for everything). Unfortunately, Meryl Streep didn’t make the cut in the Best Supporting Actress category – neither did Steve Martin, Selena Gomez, nor Melissa McCarthy – who was tipped for a Guest Actress nomination. The only acting nomination went to Martin Short, who, earlier this year, received a Screen Actors Guild Award for his performance. The full list of nominations can be found below. The Emmys are handed out on September 14, 2025.

According to Variety, actors Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, B.J. Novak and Pauline Chalamet have joined the cast of “The Devil Wears Prada 2.” And they won’t be the only new faces around Runway magazine. Other newcomers to the call sheet include Broadway stars Helen J. Shen and Conrad Ricamora, as well as comedian Caleb Hearon. Meanwhile, two recognizable characters, Tracie Thoms, who played Lily, the handbag-loving best friend of Anne Hathaway’s character, and Tibor Feldman, who portrayed Irv Ravitz, the chairman of Runway’s parent company Elias-Clark, will reprise their roles in the sequel. They will appear alongside the original film’s stars, Meryl Streep, Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci. Disney’s 20th Century Studios is backing the sequel, which is currently in production and set to open theatrically on May 1, 2026. David Frankel, who directed the 2006 film, and Aline Brosh McKenna, who penned the original screenplay, are returning for the sequel along with producer Wendy Finerman. Karen Rosenfelt and McKenna will executive produce. Many thanks to Glenn for the heads-up.

“The Devil Wears Prada 2” is heading into production this week two decades after the beloved movie hit theaters, with it set to shoot in New York and Italy. Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci are set for the follow-up film, which is adding Kenneth Branagh to the cast, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter. The 2006 film based on the book of the same name follows Andy (Hathaway), a recent college journalism graduate as she lands one of the most coveted jobs in publishing as the assistant to Anna Wintour stand-in Miranda Priestly (Streep). Andy dives into the world of magazines and high fashion thanks to her fellow assistant (Blunt). The film grossed a massive $326 million at the worldwide box office and earned Streep an Oscar nomination. As previously reported, the sequel will have Priestly, still the head of Runway, contending with the headwinds of publishing, with the magazine now in a diminished state. Blunt’s one-time assistant will now be an executive at a luxury brand conglomerate that advertises with Runway. Branagh will be playing Priestly’s husband, while Tucci will return as Nigel Kipling, who served as the art director of Runway in the first film.

There’s not much happening right now, except eager anticipation towards the Emmy nominations (on July 15), the premiere date for season 5 of “Only Murders in the Building (most probably in August) and any news or official announcement on the sequel for “The Devil Wears Prada”. In the meantime, let’s dwell in the past some more with additional production stills and on-set pictures ranging from 1977 to 1995. Enjoy your weekend.

On Thursday, Meryl Streep was a surprise guest at the The King’s Foundation annual awards ceremony at St. James’s Palace in London. This year marked the foundation’s 35th anniversary, honoring students, teachers, alumni, and partners driving progress in sustainability, traditional heritage skills, and environmental education. Also attending were Kate Winslet, David Beckham, Stanley Tucci, Alan Titchmarsh, and Penny Lancaster, who joined in celebrating winners across nine award categories. King Charles presented the King Charles III Harmony Award, honoring individuals who are committed to promoting harmonious living for people, places, and the planet. This year’s recipient was Professor Muhammad Yunus of Bangladesh, 2006 Nobel Peace Laureate and founder of over 50 social businesses focused on sustainability. Pictures from the event have been added to the photo gallery.

While I always enjoy finding pictures from the past, this time we’re having some very recent image updates. On May 08, Meryl visited the Broadway production of “Good Night, and Good Luck”, starring her “Fantastic Mr. Fox” husband George Clooney. Many thanks to Peg for the heads-up on this one. There’s even more Broadway with a visit to “Merrily We Roll Along” last year, a new behind the scenes image from SNL’s 50th Anniversary Performance with Kate McKinnon. And then there’s “Joni Mitchell and the Joni Jam”, a Los Angeles concert from last October, during which Joni Mitchell was joined on stage by Meryl Streep, Annie Lennox, Elton John and Rita Wilson. All new pictures can be found in the photo gallery. Enjoy.

“Only Murders in the Building” is still filming season 5 in New York – Meryl’s return to the series has been revealed a couple weeks ago (see updates below). Now, Selena Gomez has posted a short behind the scenes video with Meryl, doing an reenactment of one of her many famous “The Devil Wears Prada” lines. You can watch the shorts on Hulu’s Youtube page. While we’re waiting for the new season, let’s dwell in the past a bit longer. Four absolute banger magazine scans have been added to the photo gallery: Two American Cinematographer issues covering “The River Wild” and “The Bridges of Madison County”, a great profile in the British Times Magazine from 2006, and a stunning cover story from the Japanese Switch magazine, featuring some amazing early pictures. Many many thanks for the latter scans to my friend Alvaro. A complete list of updates can be found below. Enjoy your Sunday.

Meryl Streep’s motion picture debut in 1977’s “Julia” remains an oddity. Originally auditioned for the lead part, as director Fred Zinneman was looking for unknown actress for the part, the studio balked at the idea and demanded a more credible name. With Vanessa Redgrave being cast, Streep got the role of a socialite friend named Anne Marie – a role that was almost completely cut from the final film. The few scenes that remain in “Julia”, however, do not give this character any background to the overall story. The original script for the film reveals much more about Anne Marie, so let’s have a look at what could have been.
