The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2026)

A better sequel than we deserved. In this film, the Devil has an MBA.

Devil Wears Prada 2 is surprisingly deep when it gets into the necessity of journalism and the fallout from billionaires fighting over corporate takeovers. I didn’t expect this movie to have something meaningful to say about media consolidation. It does.

The first two acts feel a little like reheated leftovers - familiar beats, familiar rhythms. But it really clicks into gear in the final act. That’s when it worked for me.

Also, this felt like a throwback to films of the aught (complimentary).

Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep both bring it, adding meaningful depth and growth to characters 20 years later. That’s rare for a legacy sequel. And Justin Theroux is an absolute highlight - he’s so fucking funny in this.

Better than it had any right to be.
