‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ Streaming Release Date Revealed, and Fans Won’t Have to Wait Long

Sequel fatigue has become a real concern for major franchises returning after long hiatuses, but few films this year managed to sidestep that skepticism quite as successfully as this one. Fashion fans and longtime followers of the original spent nearly two decades hoping for a proper return to Runway magazine, and this spring finally delivered.

That theatrical success has continued paying dividends well past opening weekend, keeping the film in constant conversation as it moved through digital release windows and physical media rollouts. Now the wait for its next major milestone is officially over.

‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ is set to begin streaming on Disney+ and Hulu on July 29, giving subscribers their first chance to watch the sequel without a digital purchase or rental fee. The streaming debut arrives after a strong theatrical run and an already active window of digital and physical releases.

The film originally hit 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, positioning the streaming debut just one day later as the final major step in the film’s rollout across platforms.

‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ reunites 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 facing serious threats to her glossy print empire, with Andy and Miranda reuniting after years apart, with Andy now more confident and mature than her earlier days as an assistant.

Emily Blunt also returns as Emily Charlton, now working as a powerful executive at a major luxury brand who controls advertising money that Runway desperately needs. Stanley Tucci reprises his role 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 more than $676 million worldwide, a total that pushed the franchise’s combined earnings across both films past the billion-dollar mark.

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

Beyond its central cast, the film has generated buzz 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 how strong the film’s theatrical and digital performance has already been, this streaming debut is likely to introduce the sequel to an entirely new wave of viewers eager to revisit Runway magazine’s world of high fashion and higher stakes.
