What's in this guide
Twenty years after the original became a permanent fixture of the pop-culture vocabulary, Devil Wears Prada 2 turned into one of the year’s genuine box office surprises, and it is about to land on streaming. Here is the streaming date, the full cast, the numbers, and whether the sequel actually earns its existence.
Devil Wears Prada 2 Release and Streaming Dates
Devil Wears Prada 2 opened in theaters on May 1, 2026. It arrived on digital platforms as a premium video-on-demand release on June 30, priced at $29.99 to buy or $24.99 to rent, and it makes its full streaming debut on Hulu and Disney+ on July 29, 2026.
That roughly three-month gap between theaters and streaming is standard for 20th Century Studios releases, so there was no unusual rush here despite the film’s performance. A Blu-ray and DVD date has not been announced yet.
What Is Devil Wears Prada 2 About?
Andy Sachs is back at Runway, but on very different terms. Two decades on from her stint as an overworked assistant, Andy returns to the magazine as its new features editor, and finds Miranda Priestly facing something she cannot simply intimidate into submission: the slow collapse of the glossy print empire she built her identity around.
The setup lets the sequel do something smarter than nostalgia. Instead of restaging the original’s boss-versus-assistant dynamic, it puts both women on the same side of a problem neither can control, with old frenemies and a batch of new faces circling the wreckage. The film runs two hours and is rated PG-13.
Cast
- Anne Hathaway as Andy Sachs
- Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly
- Emily Blunt as Emily
- Stanley Tucci as Nigel
- Kenneth Branagh
- Simone Ashley
- Justin Theroux, plus dozens of cameo appearances
David Frankel returns to direct, with Aline Brosh McKenna writing again, making this a genuine reunion of the original creative team rather than a handoff. The franchise traces back to Lauren Weisberger’s 2003 novel, and the 2006 adaptation earned Streep an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress alongside a Golden Globe win.
Box Office and Reviews
The numbers were the story here. Devil Wears Prada 2 opened to $76.7 million domestically across 4,150 North American theaters and finished its run with $219.6 million at home and $462.8 million internationally, for a worldwide total of roughly $677.7 million against a $100 million production budget. That made it the fourth-highest-grossing film worldwide in 2026 and sixth domestically.
The demand was visible well before release. The teaser trailer, released in November 2025, pulled more than 180 million views in its first 24 hours, an extraordinary figure for a comedy-drama sequel with no superheroes in it.
Critically it landed comfortably rather than spectacularly, holding a 78% score on Rotten Tomatoes with a 76% audience Popcornmeter and a 6.4 user rating on IMDb. That is a solid, unglamorous consensus: most reviewers agreed it works, few called it essential.
A $677 million worldwide haul on a $100 million budget made a twenty-years-later comedy sequel one of 2026’s most unexpected box office stories.
Where to Watch Devil Wears Prada 2
Want to watch Devil Wears Prada 2 full movie on Hulu? From July 29, 2026 it is included with a standard Hulu subscription, and it arrives on Disney+ the same day. If you would rather not wait or prefer to own a copy, it is already available to rent or buy on Apple TV, Prime Video, Fandango at Home and YouTube Movies, and digital purchases include bonus features and a commentary track from David Frankel.
Is It Worth Watching?
If the original is comfort viewing for you, yes, and the streaming release removes the only real barrier. The four leads are all back and clearly enjoying themselves, and the decision to age the characters honestly rather than freeze them in 2006 gives the film more to work with than most legacy sequels manage.
It is not reinventing anything, and the 78% critics’ score is a fair reflection of that. But as a two-hour reunion that respects why people loved the first film, it delivers. For more recent streaming arrivals, see our guide to Wicked: For Good.
Devil Wears Prada 2 FAQ
Do I need to rewatch the first film?
It helps but is not essential. The sequel does enough work re-establishing who Andy, Miranda, Emily and Nigel are that a newcomer can follow it. That said, most of the emotional payoff depends on remembering where these characters started in 2006, so a rewatch is worth the two hours.
Is Devil Wears Prada 2 on Netflix?
No. Devil Wears Prada 2 is a 20th Century Studios release, which means it streams on Hulu and Disney+ rather than Netflix. There is no indication it will move to Netflix at any point.
How long is Devil Wears Prada 2?
The film runs two hours and carries a PG-13 rating, making it noticeably longer than the original’s 109 minutes.
Was it a box office success?
Comfortably. Roughly $677.7 million worldwide against a $100 million production budget is a strong result for a comedy-drama, and it finished as the fourth-highest-grossing film globally in 2026.
Is there a post-credits scene?
The film includes dozens of cameo appearances woven throughout, so it is worth staying attentive during the closing stretch rather than leaving early.
Is Devil Wears Prada 2 suitable for family viewing?
Devil Wears Prada 2 is rated PG-13, so it is broadly fine for teenagers, with workplace politics and some language rather than anything graphic.
Who are the new cast members in Devil Wears Prada 2?
Alongside the four returning leads, Devil Wears Prada 2 adds Kenneth Branagh, Simone Ashley and Justin Theroux, plus a long list of cameo appearances drawn from the fashion world.
