‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ Streaming Release Date Confirmed for July 29

Sequel fatigue has become a notable concern for major franchises returning after lengthy breaks, yet few films this year have managed to navigate that skepticism as effectively as this one. Fashion enthusiasts and devoted fans of the original have spent nearly two decades yearning for a genuine return to Runway magazine, and this spring finally delivered.

That theatrical success has continued to yield benefits well beyond opening weekend, maintaining the film’s presence in discussions as it transitioned through digital release windows and physical media launches. Now, the anticipation for its next significant milestone is officially over.

‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ is scheduled to begin streaming on Disney+ and Hulu on July 29, providing subscribers their first opportunity to watch the sequel without incurring a digital purchase or rental fee. This streaming debut follows a robust theatrical run and an already active phase of digital and physical releases.

The film originally premiered in theaters on May 1 before becoming available for digital purchase on June 30. A 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray release followed on July 28, setting the stage for the streaming debut just one day later as the final major step in the film’s rollout across platforms.

‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ brings back Anne Hathaway as Andy Sachs, who returns to Runway magazine as its new features editor, alongside Meryl Streep reprising her iconic role as editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly. The sequel finds Miranda confronting serious threats to her glossy print empire, with Andy and Miranda reuniting after years apart, now with Andy more confident and mature than during her earlier days as an assistant.

Emily Blunt also reprises her role as Emily Charlton, now a powerful executive at a major luxury brand who controls the advertising budget that Runway desperately needs. Stanley Tucci returns as well, joined by newcomers including Simone Ashley, Justin Theroux, Kenneth Branagh, and Lucy Liu, rounding out the expanded cast.

The film’s box office performance has been nothing short of remarkable for a legacy sequel released two decades after its predecessor. ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ has grossed over $676 million worldwide, pushing the franchise’s combined earnings across both films past the billion-dollar mark.

This kind of staying power has made the sequel one of the biggest theatrical success stories of the year so far. Reports indicate the film ranks among the year’s top-grossing releases, closely trailing only a handful of major blockbusters at the worldwide box office.

Beyond its main cast, the film has generated excitement for its extensive lineup of cameos woven throughout its fashion world setting. Names like Donatella Versace, Lady Gaga, and Kara Swisher all make appearances, adding an extra layer of authenticity to the film’s glossy magazine backdrop.

Fans who missed the film during its theatrical run or have already purchased it digitally will now have easy access through their existing Disney+ or Hulu subscriptions starting July 29. Given the film’s strong theatrical and digital performance, this streaming debut is likely to introduce the sequel to a new wave of viewers eager to revisit the world of high fashion and higher stakes at Runway magazine.
