The Devil Wears Prada 2 began streaming on Disney+ and Hulu on Wednesday, July 29, putting the sequel in front of subscribers from home at 3 a.m. ET and 12 a.m. PT. Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway return as Miranda Priestly and Andy Sachs, with the story set 20 years after the 2006 film.
Disney+ and Hulu make the sequel available at the same time, giving subscribers immediate access instead of a staggered rollout. For viewers, that means the movie is live now; for the platforms, it adds a title built around two of the original film’s most bankable names and a premise that returns to Runway magazine.
Streep and Hathaway return
Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci reprise their roles in The Devil Wears Prada 2, which keeps the sequel tied to the original film’s core appeal. Justin Theroux, Lucy Liu, Kenneth Branagh and Simone Ashley join the cast, widening the ensemble without shifting the story away from Miranda Priestly and Andy Sachs.
Aline Brosh McKenna’s streaming push arrives with the same calendar-day debut that puts the sequel on two services at once. That setup matters for subscribers who want the film immediately rather than waiting for a later window.
Runway faces new pressure
The sequel is set 20 years after the events of the 2006 film and follows Andy Sachs as she helps Miranda Priestly navigate a changing media landscape and corporate threats. Runway magazine is the thing at risk, which gives the sequel a sharper business edge than a simple reunion.
The story’s pressure point is not nostalgia alone. It links the return of familiar characters to a company under strain, and that keeps the movie grounded in a workplace conflict that can move quickly on streaming.
Disney+ and Hulu access
The Disney+ and Hulu bundle starts at $11.99 per month, which gives subscribers a straightforward path to watch the sequel as soon as it lands. At 3 a.m. ET, the title was available on both services, and that timing places it in the usual overnight release slot for home viewing.
For anyone deciding whether to watch now or later, the answer is simple: the film is already there, and the cast reunion is built around Streep, Hathaway, Blunt and Tucci. The open question is how the changing media landscape and corporate threats will ultimately leave Runway, which is where the sequel’s real stakes sit.
The musical’s final date adds another lane for viewers tracking this franchise, but the streaming version is the immediate one. The sequel is live, the original cast is back, and the pressure on Runway is the part that turns a familiar return into something more than a rewatch.
