Anne Hathaway drives The Devil Wears Prada 2 to streaming debut

Anne Hathaway returns as Andy Sachs in The Devil Wears Prada 2, which became available to stream on Disney+ and Hulu on Wednesday, July 29. The sequel now sits inside two subscription services, so access at home depends on whether viewers already pay for Disney+ or Hulu, or choose one of them now.

Disney+ and Hulu made the film available at 3 a.m. ET and 12 a.m. PT, and a Disney+ subscription is needed to watch it. For viewers comparing entry points, the bundle starts at $11.99 per month, which gives a lower-cost route than treating the sequel as a one-off purchase because no separate rental option is listed in the available release details.

Streep, Hathaway, Tucci

Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci reprise their roles in the sequel, while Justin Theroux, Lucy Liu, Kenneth Branagh and Simone Ashley join the cast. The film returns to Andy Sachs and Miranda Priestly after 20 years, with the story again tied to Runway magazine and the pressure around a changing media landscape.

Runway magazine pressure

The sequel also folds in corporate threats that put the future of Runway magazine at risk, which keeps the focus on business stakes instead of nostalgia alone. That keeps the streaming debut pointed at viewers who want the continuation of the 2006 film’s conflict, not just a rewatch of the original setup.

Wednesday, July 29 is the practical cutoff for anyone deciding how to watch: the film is now live on Disney+ and Hulu, but an active subscription is the gatekeeper. For subscribers, the move makes the sequel immediately available at home; for everyone else, the bundle at $11.99 per month is the clearest path in.

Disney+ access

Whether The Devil Wears Prada 2 will show up on any other platform or in any additional release window is not answered by the current release details. For now, the streaming play is straightforward: Disney+ and Hulu carry the sequel, and Disney+ remains the required subscription if a viewer wants to start there.
