Anger Management adaptations: films & series
Every version of Anger Management — the films & series, compared across media.
The setup is the same across both versions: someone ends up in anger management therapy, and awkward, often absurd comedy follows. Anger Management has taken that premise into both a self-contained film and an ongoing television series, each with its own lead and its own angle. Whether you want a single story of a mild-mannered man whose court-ordered sessions spiral out of control, or a series following an unconventional therapist across a private practice and a prison, the same comic territory rewards both visits.

Frequently asked
Is the Anger Management TV series based on the 2003 film?
Both Anger Management (2003) and Anger Management (2012) center on anger management therapy, but the TV series follows a different lead — Charlie, a therapist and former baseball player — rather than continuing the film's story.
How many versions of Anger Management are there?
There are two versions: the 2003 comedy film and the 2012 television series. Both are comedies built around anger management therapy, but each tells a distinct story with its own characters.
Which Anger Management should I watch first?
The 2003 film is a self-contained story and a natural starting point. The 2012 series is independent and can be watched on its own without having seen the film.
