“Devil Wears Prada 2” is set to test the fashion skills of Filipino-American actor Conrad Ricamora after he was officially added to the all-star cast of the most anticipated sequel.
Ricamora, known for his portrayal of Oliver Hampton in the Viola Davis-starring series “How to Get Away with Murder,” recently shared the news of his casting in “Devil Wears Prada 2” on Instagram.
The Filipino-American posted a screenshot of an article reporting that he is joining the cast in an undisclosed role, adding a red high heel emoji in the caption.
Ricamora became a household name for his role as Ninoy Aquino in the 2013 Off-Broadway musical “Here Lies Love.” He won a Theatre World Award and was nominated for a Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Musical for that portrayal.
He then took on the role of Lun Tha in the 2015 Broadway revival of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “The King and I,” which received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Musical Theater Album.
The 46-year-old actor starred as Xue Xing in David Henry Hwang’s “Soft Power,” which received a nomination for the Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album.
Last year, Ricamora assumed the role of Abraham Lincoln in the comedic stage play “Oh, Mary!” which earned him a nomination for a Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Play.
Ricamora, born to a Filipino father, identifies as gay and was previously honored with the Human Rights Campaign’s Visibility Award.
Meanwhile, Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, B.J. Novak, Pauline Chalamet, Helen J. Shen, and comedian Caleb Hearon were among the new faces joining the recurring cast members Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci in the sequel.
“Devil Wears Prada 2,” which is set to premiere theatrically on May 1, 2026, will follow Miranda (Streep) and her magazine’s financial struggles, given the decline of traditional publishing. /edv
