The Devil Wears Prada 2 is finally here… but was it worth bringing Miranda, Andy and Emily back after 20 years?
In this episode, we break down whether the sequel captures the magic of the original, why the plot feels more like a legacy cash grab, the AI/media industry angle, Meryl Streep’s return as Miranda Priestly, and whether this deserved its massive box office opening.
Is this a stylish comeback or one sequel too many?
