Devil wears prada 2: streaming secrets – where to watch the sequel now
Twenty years. It feels like a cruel joke, doesn’t it? The anticipation for The Devil Wears Prada sequel has been simmering for an eternity, and finally, we’re getting closer to seeing Miranda Priestly’s icy glare on screen again. Let’s cut through the noise and deliver the hard facts: where you’ll actually find this highly anticipated film.
The long wait – and the good news
The good news? The film, penned by Aline Brosh McKenna and directed by David Frankel – the same creative team that brought us the original – is finally hitting cinemas. It debuted on May 1st, a testament to the enduring appeal of Andy Sachs’s story. But the bigger question is: when can we stream it?
Disney+ is the destination
Forget scouring independent streaming services. The Devil Wears Prada 2 is firmly planted in the Disney+ ecosystem. Due to the complex web of studio mergers, it’s exclusively available on Disney+ and Hulu. And it’s not just a rumor; Disney+ already boasts the original film, complete with a dedicated BTS feature and red-carpet footage – essentially a sneak peek into the sequel’s production. 20th Century Studios' recent release schedule suggests a late August or early September debut. We’re operating under the assumption that the release cadence will mirror that pattern – a calculated, if somewhat agonizing, wait.
Beyond the main stream
While Disney+ is the primary portal, don't completely dismiss the appetite for related content. Remember The September Issue, the phenomenal documentary chronicling Anna Wintour and Vogue? It’s a crucial companion piece, offering a fascinating glimpse into the world that shaped Andy Sachs's narrative. Then there’s Julie & Julia, a charming film starring Meryl Streep and Stanley Tucci that taps into the same themes of ambition and creative pressure. And, of course, Lauren Weisberger’s subsequent novels – Revenge Wears Prada and When Life Gives You Lululemons – provide further explorations of the characters and their world.
Filling the void – viewing recommendations
Let’s be honest: waiting for the sequel is a marathon, not a sprint. So, what else is there to consume in the spirit of high-fashion obsession? Dive back into the original film, naturally. Explore The September Issue – it’s a masterclass in documentary filmmaking. Or, for a touch of cinematic warmth, revisit Julie & Julia. Beyond those, consider Colossal and Rachel Getting Married – underrated gems that resonate with the film’s themes of identity and reinvention. And don't overlook Michael Showalter’s Verity, another Hathaway vehicle that’s sure to spark conversation. Anne Hathaway’s upcoming slate – including Mother Mary and The Odyssey – only amplifies the excitement.
The bottom line
The wait is undeniably protracted, but the payoff – a chance to revisit the world of Runway and witness the evolution of Andy Sachs – will be substantial. Keep your eyes peeled for a Disney+ launch in late August or early September. Until then, indulge in a little fashion-fueled escapism.
