This week's biggest arrival is a legacy sequel two decades in the making: The Devil Wears Prada 2 reaches home screens on June 30, reuniting its entire 2006 cast for a story that trades fashion-world comedy for a media industry in genuine crisis.
The choice this week is less about variety than about one starry, much-discussed event pulling the week's attention toward itself.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 becomes available to rent or buy on Prime Video and Apple TV on June 30, two months after its May 1 cinema opening, with director David Frankel and writer Aline Brosh McKenna reuniting Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt. The premise has shifted meaningfully: Andy Sachs is now a serious journalist pulled back into Miranda Priestly's orbit as Runway magazine fights for survival against print media's collapse, while Blunt's Emily Charlton returns not as an assistant but as a rival executive controlling the ad money Runway needs.
For cinema, the film is still playing widely for anyone who wants the ensemble on a big screen; for home viewing, renting it is the only option this week, since the Disney+ and Hulu subscription date is not until July 29. The sequel's ambitions run beyond a nostalgia play, taking on newsroom layoffs and the pressures reshaping journalism rather than simply repeating the original's power dynamic.
For anyone who loved the original and wants the full cast reassembled, this is the clear pick of the week, at home or in a cinema with an audience that remembers 2006. Viewers hoping for the same razor-sharp satire should temper expectations somewhat, since the sequel trades some of that edge for a broader, more sentimental story about an industry actually collapsing.
