Those who missed “The Devil Wears Prada 2” in theaters and weren’t into paying video-on-demand pricing—now is your time. On July 29, the film starring Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Stanley Tucci and Emily Blunt will stream on Hulu on Disney+.
Unlike many adaptation follow-ups, the new installment is not based on a sequel novel. Instead, it expands on the story world created by the original movie, which was based on Lauren Weisberger’s 2003 book.
A successful sequel book to “The Devil Wears Prada” titled “Revenge Wears Prada” was published in 2013. That story follows Andy running a bridal magazine with Emily.
In the film sequel, we see what’s become of Andy (Anne Hathaway), the formerly awkward Runway personal assistant to the Anna Wintour-coded Miranda Priestly (Streep).
Hathaway is back in the orbit of the Runway magazine leaders, including intimidating Miranda and her perceptive assistant Nigel (Tucci). This time, she works as their features editor.
Other stars from the original, including Tracie Thoms (Lily) and Tibor Feldman (Irv), returned for the sequel. One person missing? Andy’s chef boyfriend Nate, played by Adrian Grenier. Maybe the sequel has a new romance in mind.
New stars have joined the fun in the sequel: Kenneth Branagh, Simone Ashley, Justin Theroux, Lucy Liu, Patrick Brammall, Caleb Hearon, Helen J. Shen, Pauline Chalamet, B.J. Novak and Conrad Ricamora.
Aline Brosh McKenna, who wrote the adaptation of the first film, returns as the screenwriter. She is also the writer behind “27 Dresses” and the co-creator of “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.”
