From July 27 to August 2, major streaming platforms are rolling out a slate of high-profile releases spanning film, music, and television. The week is headlined by the long-awaited sequel The Devil Wears Prada 2, which arrives on Hulu and Disney+ on July 29.
Set two decades after the original hit, the sequel reunites core cast members Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Stanley Tucci, and Emily Blunt. The plot follows Hathaway’s character, Andy, as she navigates a return to the high-stakes environment of Runway Magazine. The film has already seen significant box office success, grossing over $677 million globally prior to its streaming debut.
The week also marks a major milestone for animation fans as The Super Mario Galaxy Movie arrives on Peacock on July 30.
