What to Stream: 'Devil Wears Prada 2,' Ariana Grande, 'Super Mario
Galaxy' and 'Diarra from Detroit'
[July 27, 2026]
The “Devil Wears Prada 2" and Ariana Grande's new album are some of the
new television, films, music and games headed to a device near you.
Also among the streaming offerings worth your time this week, as
selected by The Associated Press’ entertainment journalists: “The Super
Mario Galaxy Movie,” “Diarra from Detroit” and Lollapalooza, from the
comfort of wherever you choose to watch it.
New movies to stream from July 27-August 2
— Coming two decades after the original, “The Devil Wears Prada 2”
(Wednesday, July 29 on Hulu and Disney+) re-teams Anne Hathaway, Meryl
Streep, Stanley Tucci and Emily Blunt in another trip through the
high-fashion Manhattan world of Runway Magazine. With more than $688
million in worldwide ticket sales, the 20-years-later sequel was a hit
at the box office. In it, Hathaway’s Andy returns to Runway to help save
it from a sad media fate. In my review, I wrote that “mid-life career
changes aren’t nearly as compelling or relatable as a newbie assistant
thrown into the high-fashion fire.”
— An even bigger box-office hit, “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie” became
the first movie to cross $1 billion in cinemas earlier this year. The
animated film based on the beloved Nintendo game, arrives July 30 on
Peacock. In her review, AP Film Writer Lindsey Bahr wrote that
merchandising supersedes storytelling in the film, “taking you out of
the escape of this wondrous dream world and back into the realities of
late-stage capitalism.”
— Kristoffer Borgli’s “The Drama” (July 31 on HBO Max), starring Zendaya
and Robert Pattinson, tried to kick up some of its own drama when the
dark comedy opened in theaters this spring. Zendaya and Pattinson play
an engaged couple whose relationship unravels after a confession over
dinner. In his review, AP’s Mark Kennedy wrote that the film “wastes two
of the planet’s most gorgeous people and will surely get everyone
involved in trouble for using a current American tragedy as a plot
point.”

New music to stream from July 27-August 2
— Ariana Grande’s “Petal” arrives Friday. It’s her first full-length
post-“Wicked” project and arrives two years after “Eternal Sunshine,”
her seventh studio album. If the lead single “Hate That I Made You Love
Me” is evidence of what’s to come, the album will be a collection of
bubbling, arpeggiated synths and soft pop choruses courtesy of Grande
and her producer, the mysterious Swedish powerhouse Max Martin.
— Lollapalooza returns to Chicago’s Grant Park on Thursday through
Sunday and the lineup is stacked — Lorde, John Summit, Charli xcx, The
Smashing Pumpkins, Olivia Dean, Jennie, Tate McRae and The XX are all
scheduled to perform, and those are only just the headliners. Can’t make
the trip? That’s no matter: Disney+ and Hulu will livestream the music
festival throughout the weekend.
— Shaboozey has some big shoes to fill: his own. The country-hybridist
made history when he dropped “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” the ubiquitous
country-rap record that stayed atop the Billboard Hot 100 for 19 weeks.
(The only other song to last that long at No. 1? Lil Nas X’s “Old Town
Road.”) On Friday, the Virginia native will release his fourth studio
album, “The Outlaw Cherie Lee & Other Western Tales,” a concept record
that includes far-ranging features like Kehlani, Gunna, Jamie Foxx, Sam
Elliott, Teyana Taylor and more.

 — Also on Friday, Las Vegas-born
hard rock outfit Five Finger Death Punch return with their 10th
studio album, “Legacy,” a metallic offering that reflects on their
20 years together.

New series to stream from July 27-August 2
— You know those people who just seem to attract drama? That’s the
main character in the comedy “Diarra from Detroit,” played by series
star and creator Diarra Kilpatrick. In Season 1, she launched a
missing person investigation after a date ghosted her. In Season 2,
a mundane furniture delivery turns into a homicide investigation, a
treasure hunt and the discovery of a secret society. The
eight-episode season debuts with two episodes on Wednesday, July 29
on Paramount+.
— Stassi Schroeder was the queen bee of “Vanderpump Rules” for eight
seasons before she was let go from the show in 2020. Since then,
she's made lots of changes, including getting married, becoming a
mother of two, and launching a podcast. She's even joined her old
boss Lisa Vanderpump on the reality series “Vanderpump Villa.” Now
Stassi is fronting her own reality series, “House of Stassi.” All
episodes of Season 1 drop Thursday, July 30 on Hulu.
— Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson has a new crime drama series coming to
Starz. Called “Fightland,” it follows Duke, a man who is crowned a
boxing champion and loses everything in the same night. After eight
years in prison, Duke returns to his hometown of London and is
focused on revenge. The eight-episode series premieres Friday, July
31.

New video games to play from July 27-August 2
— The once-thriving fantasy world of Arsilthus was governed by a
“great relic,” which some dumbbell decided to destroy, turning the
place into an apocalyptic hellscape. Your job in “The Relic: First
Guardian” is to collect the fragments, but you’ll need to fight
through dozens of ferocious bosses before you can restore order. The
whole project sounds a lot like 2022’s landmark “Elden Ring,” but
South Korean developer Project Cloud promises to lean into Asian
folklore with “a quest to lay troubled souls to rest and uncover
their lost stories.” The search begins Friday, July 31, on
PlayStation 5 or PC.
