''Return of the Seven'', the first sequel, has the village from the first film be raided by marauders who carry off fifty men into the desert, one of them being Chico, who chose to return and settle down after the first film. Chico's wife goes to the other survivors of the first Band of Seven, Chris and Vin, who recruit five new members to save Chico and the other villages from a mad rancher who is using them as slave labor.

''Guns of the Magnificent Seven'', the second sequel, has a Mexican revolutionary (and a cousin of one of the villages from one of the previous films) seek out and hire Chris to form a third iteration of the Band of Seven to overthrow a sadistic militarist.

''The Magnificent Seven Ride'', the final sequel, has Chris, now married and a US Marshal, be recruited by an old friend of his turned BountyHunter to form a new Band of Seven to defeat the bandit lord De Toro.

The series, meanwhile, has no connection to the film quadrilogy at all.

Without being discovered as a spy, Chico slips away from Calvera's camp, returns to the village, and tells everyone the awful truth that [[spoiler:Calvera's men are starving and have nowhere else to turn for food]].
