Devil Wears Prada 2 anchors a crowded streaming slate
Two weekly roundups catalogued the streaming debuts scheduled for July 28-31. The Telegraph India's Indian-focused list places The Devil Wears Prada 2 at the top, debuting on JioHotstar on July 29. The sequel picks up nearly twenty years after the original, with Anne Hathaway's Andy Sachs returning to Runway magazine as features editor alongside Meryl Streep's Miranda Priestly, who must steer the publication through an AI-driven media landscape and a hostile takeover. Emily Blunt's Emily Charlton, now a Dior executive, controls the advertising revenue the magazine needs.
The same JioHotstar slate opens with the Tamil drama Chinna Chinna Aasai on July 28, in which a Thanjavur woman (Madhoo) separated from her tour group in Varanasi befriends a Kerala schoolteacher (Indrans). The cast also includes Aparna Balamurali, Vishnu Agasthya, Thambi Ramaiah, Kaali Venkat and Jaffer Sadiq.
Netflix and Prime Video stack thrillers, documentaries and animation
Netflix carries the largest concentration of titles across the week. Final Project, a Mexican teen suspense micro-series, arrives July 29 with Isabella Tena as Tamara, a transfer student drawn into a cyberbullying campaign; Tristán Maze and Daniela Martínez also star. The same date brings the documentary The Idaho College Murders: College Nightmare, followed by The Bombing of Pan Am 103 on July 30 and the series The Vacation Principle on July 31.
Prime Video's lineup includes The Devil's Mouth on July 29 and the animated Batman: Caped Crusader Season 2 on July 31.
K-drama slate spans 12 titles across Viki, Viu, Netflix and JioHotstar
GQ India's separate roundup for July 27 to August 2 highlights a K-drama slate of 12 titles. A Bona Fide Killer premieres on Viki on July 31, marking Gong Hyo Jin's comeback as a mother secretly working as a contract killer named "Kingfisher"; Jung Joon Won, Lee Sang Yi and Sung Dong Il co-star. The Affair Was Just the Beginning debuts on Viu on July 31, a black comedy starring Kim Hye Soo and Cho Yeo Jeong about an influencer couple whose lives entangle with a doctor couple locked in a bitter divorce battle; Kim Ji Hoon and Kim Jae Chul also star.
Ongoing dramas include Dream to You on Viki, airing episode 5 on July 27 and episode 6 on July 28 with Hwang In Youp and Hyeri in their first on-screen collaboration, and the office rom-com See You at Work Tomorrow! on Amazon Prime Video, which airs its 12-episode series finale on July 28 with Seo In Guk and Park Ji Hyun.
The broader K-drama roster includes Our Happy Days on KBS, Family Register, Pearl in Red and Love on the Menu on Viki, A Shop for Killers Season 2 and The Husband on JioHotstar, and Spooky in Love and The Apartment Job on Netflix.
ZEE5, Sony LIV and Lionsgate Play add regional titles
Beyond the major global platforms, the Indian-language slate extends to ZEE5 with Balan: The Boy on July 31, and Sony LIV with The Legend of Karna on the same date. Lionsgate Play is also listed for a July 31 release, though the specific title is not identified in the source.
How the two weekly roundups compare
The two lists reflect distinct editorial scopes. The Telegraph India roundup is built around Indian OTT subscriptions (JioHotstar, ZEE5, Sony LIV, Lionsgate Play) and mainstream global platforms, while the GQ India list focuses on Korean content across Korea-specific services such as Viki and Viu alongside broadcast (KBS). Their intersection sits on global platforms that carry both Hollywood and Korean titles, including JioHotstar, Netflix and Prime Video. Together the two guides sketch a week in which the same dates — particularly July 29 and July 31 — host the bulk of the marquee debuts.
