This Beloved Film Is Suddenly Number 1 on Disney+

The Devil Wears Prada is currently the number one movie on Disney+, and honestly, it's not hard to see why.

According to Flix Patrol, the fashion flick is number one on the streaming platform right now. The 2006 hit, starring Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep, has long been a comfort watch for fans who love its mix of fashion fantasy, workplace drama and endlessly quotable moments. Whether it's Andy Sachs' transformation or Miranda Priestly's icy one-liners, the film has a way of pulling viewers back in-no matter how many times they've seen it.

But this latest surge in popularity isn't just about nostalgia.

Buzz around a long-awaited sequel has fans revisiting the original in a big way. While details are still emerging, the idea of returning to the high-stakes world of fashion publishing has clearly sparked renewed interest in the film that started it all. For longtime fans, it's the perfect excuse to rewatch-and for newer viewers, it's a chance to finally see what all the hype is about.

Part of what makes The Devil Wears Prada so rewatchable is how well it holds up. Beyond the couture and sharp dialogue, its themes of ambition, identity and work-life balance feel just as relevant today. And Streep's, 76, performance as Miranda remains one of the most iconic in modern film-equal parts intimidating, funny and strangely relatable.

More than a decade later, the movie hasn't lost its edge or its audience. As anticipation builds for what's next, one thing is clear: fans are falling in love with The Devil Wears Prada all over again.
