Prada Returns! Stars Protest ICE; Netflix 2026; Melania Bombs

'The Devil Wears Prada 2' Trailer Drops; Melania Doc Surprises at Box Office

Hollywood remained a hub of activity as February 2026 began, with a mix of film releases, award shows, and streaming content generating headlines. The trailer for "The Devil Wears Prada 2," starring Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, and Emily Blunt, was released by 20th Century Studios, marking a return to the high-fashion world 20 years after the original film's debut, according to Variety. The sequel is slated for release on May 1.

Meanwhile, the documentary "Melania," directed by Brett Ratner and promoted by Donald Trump, exceeded expectations, drawing $7 million during its opening weekend, Fortune reported. Citing multiple news sources, Fortune noted that this was the best documentary debut in 14 years outside of concert films, despite being overshadowed by "Send Help" and "Iron Lung" at the box office. Amazon MGM Studios invested heavily in the film, which chronicles Melania Trump leading up to Trump's second inauguration.

The Grammy Awards also took place, with some attendees using the platform to make political statements. Variety reported that Billie Eilish and others wore "ICE Out" pins, while Kehlani, upon accepting the Grammy for best R&B performance ("Folded"), said "F— ICE!" and urged artists to "Speak Against All the Injustice in the World."

Netflix announced its February 2026 streaming lineup, which includes new seasons of popular shows and classic romantic comedies, Time reported. Just in time for Valentine's Day, viewers can watch "Is It Cake? Valentines" on Feb. 4, the 10th season of "Love Is Blind" (Feb. 11), and part 2 of "Bridgerton's" fourth season (Feb. 26). Classic romantic comedies such as "The American President," "You've Got Mail," "Letters to Juliet," and "Crazy Stupid Love" became available on Feb. 1. The streaming service is also debuting "Glitter & Gold: Ice Dancing," a documentary series about ice dancing featuring married American couple Madison Chock and Evan Bates.

In other news, CBS News, citing multiple sources, highlighted Boom Chicago, an Amsterdam-based improv theater, as a launchpad for American comedians. Jordan Peele, Ike Barinholtz, and Seth Meyers all honed their skills at the theater. Meyers credited Boom Chicago with providing a "road map" to his success at "Saturday Night Live." Meyers and actress Jill Benjamin, who met at Boom Chicago, reunited to perform their popular "Bar Pickup" sketch.
