BBC sitcom star Patrick Brammall has been "cast as Anne Hathaway's new love interest in Devil Wears Prada 2".
The Australian actor, who starred in drama series No Activity and Colin From Accounts, has landed a role in the long-awaited sequel.
Although it has not been confirmed who the 49-year-old will be playing, New Idea reported on Tuesday that Patrick will star as Hathaway's character Andrea 'Andy' Sachs' new love interest.
Patrick will join several OG cast members, including Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci.
But according to reports, Entourage star Adrian Grenier, who played Andy's boyfriend Nate, will not be returning.
Fans will remember in The Devil Wears Prada, that Andy and Nate's relationship was tested after she began working at Runway magazine.
At the end of the film, it's hinted that they go their separate ways, with Nate taking a job in Boston and Andy leaving Runway and starting her new role at a local newspaper.
Patrick confirmed his part in the new film with a post on Instagram.
He posted a screengrab from Deadline announcing his new role and cheekily wrote: "Girding my loins."
There are a number of other new faces joining the cast, including US actress Rachel Bloom, who is known series Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.
In the sequel, Miranda Priestly is still the head of Runway, but Blunt's character Emily Charlton, former assistant to Miranda, is now an executive at a luxury brand that advertises with Runway.
Emily now holds the power that Miranda needs to help her magazine, while Andy is now a magazine editor but is dragged back into Miranda's world.
In June, Blunt told Entertainment Tonight that she was going to start shooting the sequel in July.
She said: "It's so weird, I haven't even read a script, I don't know. I'm just like, where is she, I don't know."
Last week, Hathaway was spotted filming scenes in New York City.
She was seen in a colour block maxi dress by Gabriela Hearst with a blue suitcase and another snap she was pictured in a dark pinstripe suit with black boots and messenger bag.
The Devil Wears Prada grossed $326 million at the worldwide box office, with Streep receiving an Oscar nomination.
