- "The Devil Wears Prada 2" began streaming on Disney+ and Hulu after grossing $677 million at the worldwide summer box office.
- The sequel opened theatrically on May 1, exactly 20 years after the original 2006 film debuted in theaters.
- DoorDash expanded its retail partnerships to offer same-day delivery of merchandise tied to the film, including the West End cast recording from Barnes & Noble and pieces from the film's Old Navy collaboration.
- Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, and Emily Blunt reprise their roles, with Hathaway's Andy Sachs now serving as Runway's features editor and Blunt's Emily Charlton working as a Dior executive controlling the advertising money Runway needs after a scandal.
- New cast members include Kenneth Branagh, Patrick Brammall, Simone Ashley, Lucy Liu, B.J. Novak, Justin Theroux, and Pauline Chalamet, alongside returning players Stanley Tucci, Tracie Thoms, and Tibor Feldman.
- The film features cameos from Lady Gaga, Donatella Versace, Ashley Graham, Kara Swisher, and Tina Brown, with costume design by Molly Rogers.
- David Frankel returned as director and Aline Brosh McKenna reprised her original screenplay duties, with Wendy Finerman producing and Michael Bederman, Karen Rosenfelt, and McKenna executive producing.
Why it matters: The $677 million theatrical gross validates a two-decade-later franchise revival and gives Disney+ and Hulu a prestige tentpole to anchor summer streaming windows. DoorDash's same-day merchandise tie-ins — from Barnes & Noble cast recordings to Old Navy apparel — signal how studios are converting theatrical IP into immediate, transactional commerce moments rather than waiting for home-video demand to build.
