How to watch

The Devil Wears Prada stars Anne Hathaway as Andy Sachs, an aspiring journalist who lands a job as assistant to Miranda Priestly, the formidable editor of Runway magazine played by Meryl Streep. With Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci stealing scenes, it became one of the most quotable comedies of the 2000s. The long-awaited sequel reunites the cast in a media world that has changed dramatically.

🕐 Release Order

With two films two decades apart, release order is straightforward.

1. The Devil Wears Prada (2006)
2. The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2026)

The sequel picks up with the characters years later, as Miranda navigates the decline of traditional print magazines.

📖 Story Chronology

The story order is identical to the release order, with the second film catching up on Miranda, Andy, Emily and Nigel in the present day.

1. The Devil Wears Prada (2006)
2. The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2026)

Which Order Should You Choose?

Watch the original first. So much of the sequel's fun comes from seeing how Andy, Emily and Miranda have changed, and the callbacks only work if you remember the cerulean sweater speech and Paris trip. If you want more, Lauren Weisberger's original novel and its sequel book, Revenge Wears Prada, offer a different take on the characters, and the story has also been adapted into a stage musical. Whichever route you take, the films are perfect for a cozy double feature, especially if you love sharp workplace comedy, fabulous fashion and Meryl Streep at her most icy and brilliant.
