Where can I watch The Devil Wears Prada 2?

Is Devil Wears Prada 2 on Netflix?

  • No. The film is not part of any Netflix deal at launch. All streaming rights belong to Disney+ and Hulu, as 20th Century Studios (the Disney-owned studio) confirms.

Is Devil Wears Prada 2 on Disney Plus?

  • Yes. The movie lands on Disney+ (and Hulu) on July 29, 2026, per USA TODAY (a major U.S. news outlet).

What are showtimes for Devil Wears Prada 2?

  • Theatrical screenings started May 1, 2026. Check local listings through Landmark Cinemas for exact times. The digital purchase/rental window opens June 30 via Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home.

The catch: if you want to see it in its original theatrical form, the window is limited — physical showtimes are only guaranteed through May, after which the film shifts to digital premium release.

When is Devil Wears Prada 2 released?

What is the release date of Devil Wears Prada 2?

  • Theatrical release: May 1, 2026 (IMDb)
  • Digital purchase/rental: June 30, 2026 (USA TODAY)
  • Streaming on Disney+: July 29, 2026 (20th Century Studios)
Bottom line: Meryl Streep’s return as Miranda Priestly is the main draw, but Disney’s staggered release means fans must choose between the big screen on May 1 or waiting for streaming on July 29.

Why this matters: the three-phase model means no single platform has exclusivity for long, but it also means you can’t watch it on Netflix at all.

Is Devil Wears Prada 2 any good?

Is Devil Wears Prada 2 a success?

  • Early reviews are positive. RTE called the sequel “the shoe still fits,” praising its sharp return (RTE). Box office numbers are not yet finalized, but the film’s production budget and marketing spend were not disclosed.
The upshot

If the early critical sentiment holds, The Devil Wears Prada 2 could avoid the “sequel curse” and prove that Miranda still runs the room. But without final box office data, the true commercial verdict is pending.

“The shoe still fits.”

— RTE review

The trade-off: early buzz is strong, but the lack of a streaming release until late July means many viewers will hold judgment until they can watch at home.

Who is in the cast of Devil Wears Prada 2?

Is Andy’s boyfriend in Devil Wears Prada 2?

  • The official cast list from 20th Century Studios does not include Adrian Grenier, who played Nate in the original. His return is not confirmed.

Do Meryl Streep and Emily Blunt get along?

  • Both actresses have spoken positively about working together. In the trailer, Blunt’s character Emily Charlton is once again at odds with Miranda, but off-screen reports suggest mutual respect (ABC News).

Returning main cast includes Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci, as confirmed by the official trailer. New additions: Kenneth Branagh, Simone Ashley, Justin Theroux, Lucy Liu, Patrick Brammall, Caleb Hearon, Helen J. Shen, Pauline Chalamet, B.J. Novak, Conrad Ricamora, Tracie Thoms, and Tibor Feldman (20th Century Studios).

The pattern: the sequel doubles down on ensemble size, suggesting the story needs more competing voices at Runway.

What is the trailer for Devil Wears Prada 2?

Is the trailer on Netflix?

  • No. The official trailer is hosted on YouTube (20th Century Studios channel) and on Disney Video. Netflix does not carry the trailer.

The full final trailer introduces new characters and confirms the return of director David Frankel and writer Aline Brosh McKenna (official trailer).
