For fans of Woody Allen: what to watch, read & play next

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

The picks here share a particular flavour: romantic entanglements knotted up with self-deception, witty people making a mess of their own happiness, and the uneasy line between comedy and genuine heartache. From the layered parallel stories of Melinda and Melinda to the marital reckoning of Husbands and Wives, these choices reward viewers and readers who enjoy characters who talk too much, feel too much, and still can't quite figure out love — with an abiding affection for the absurd human comedy.

Frequently asked

What should I watch if I like Woody Allen?

Start with Husbands and Wives or Melinda and Melinda for that same blend of romantic wit and genuine emotional weight. On TV, Crisis in Six Scenes carries a similar period-set comedic sensibility with an ensemble pulled into social upheaval.

Are there books for Woody Allen fans?

Mere Anarchy is the most direct fit — a humour collection of absurdist comic prose. For something more dramatic, The Last Yankee is a play about marriage, mental illness, and the quiet struggle for personal transformation.

Are there games with Woody Allen's kind of humour and themes?

Lake captures a similar introspective, character-driven mood — a middle-aged professional stepping back from city life to find clarity. Loretta goes darker, exploring betrayal and complicated love through a psychological thriller format.
