For fans of Mariah Carey: what to watch, read & play next

Cross-media picks for Mariah Carey fans — films, series, games and books in the same vein.

These picks share the world Mariah Carey fans inhabit: music as emotional survival, ambition worn openly, and glamour that doesn't apologise for itself. From Sparkle's Harlem girl-group grit to POSE's ballroom drama and Girls5eva's sharp-edged comeback comedy, the throughline is women — and communities — who refuse to shrink. Add in rhythm as identity, holiday spectacle as pure joy, and the occasional heartbreak dressed in sequins. If you love music that means something, these deliver.
