Meryl Streep has returned as Miranda Priestly in The Devil Wears Prada 2, which premiered in U.S. theaters on May 1, 2026. The sequel is also anticipated to become available for digital rental and purchase, with streaming options expected later in the year.
The film marks the return of the iconic editor-in-chief of Runway magazine after 20 years. Streep reprises her role, with Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci also returning to their original characters.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 reunites Miranda Priestly with Andrea Sachs (Hathaway), who is now a journalist and returns to Runway as the new features editor. The characters must work to maintain the magazine’s relevance in the current media landscape.
While currently exclusive to cinemas, the film is projected for a digital release around June 30, 2026, approximately two months after its theatrical debut. Streaming availability on platforms like Disney+ and Hulu is predicted for early October 2026, following typical release patterns for 20th Century Studios films.
The sequel held its premiere at Lincoln Center in New York City on April 20, 2026, an event live-streamed on Disney+ and Hulu. The film has garnered significant attention, with its trailer amassing 222 million views in 24 hours, making it the most-watched trailer in 20th Century Studios’ history.
The original The Devil Wears Prada, released in 2006, became a cultural phenomenon, and the sequel aims to address how the world and media industry have evolved.
