** ''Force'' itself ends in another mega event, ''ComicBook/XMenSecondComing'', up from which two new series that pick up where ''X-Force'' left--''ComicBook/UncannyXForce'' and new ''ComicBook/{{X 23}}''.

* ''ComicBook/JourneyIntoMysteryGillen'': The final issue ends on a huge moment that changes everything. The aftermath of this event leads directly to Creator/KieronGillen's next book, the second volume of ''ComicBook/YoungAvengers''. And the finale of that is a launching point of Creator/AlEwing ''ComicBook/LokiAgentOfAsgard''.
* ''ComicBook/NewMutants'':
** After Creator/RobLiefeld gets free reign on the title, the ending becomes basically a setup for his ''ComicBook/XForce1991''.
** The second volume, which focuses on an original cast now grown up and teaching a new generation themselves, is very short-lived. It paves the way for books focused more on the students, ''ComicBook/NewXMenAcademyX''.
** ''ComicBook/XMenMessiahComplex'' is used to close all X-Men books, but writing them of ''NXM'' allows the author to pick up many unresolved subplots and continue them in ''ComicBook/XForce2008''.

On some rare occasions, this type of show will actually succeed with a fraction of the old show's success. In extremely rare cases, they may actually match it. This explains the long trend of networks continuing to attempt this type of show in spite of the much longer list of failures.

U.S.Avengers ended in another event, ''ComicBook/AvengersNoSurrender'', which also served to bring back the titular character of what would arguably become Ewing's magnum opus, ''ComicBook/ImmortalHulk''.

* ''Franchise/MarvelUniverse'': Actually very common in comics set in TheVerse, especially with superhero comics. Even more likely if a status-quo-changing CrisisCrossover is involved to end one series and launch another. Just some examples of what kinds of chains can be created as a result of such practices:

** ''ComicBook/{{Stormwatch}}'': Creator/WarrenEllis ends the series with a prologue to his ''[[ComicBook/WildCATsWildStorm Wild C.A.T.s]][=/=]Franchise/{{Alien}}s''. In it, the entire Stormwatch team is killed off except for characters Ellis would later put on ''ComicBook/TheAuthority''.

** Rather infamously the ending to the original ''ComicBook/NewMutants'' series, after Creator/RobLiefeld got a free reign on the title, was basically a setup for his ''ComicBook/XForce1991''.
** Even more infamous was Creator/WarrenEllis ending his run on ''ComicBook/{{Stormwatch}}'' with an prologue to his ''[[ComicBook/WildCATsWildStorm Wild C.A.T.s]]/[[Franchise/{{Alien}} Aliens]]'', where entire Stormwatch team is killed off, except for characters Ellis would later put on ''ComicBook/TheAuthority''.
** Second volume of ''New Mutants'', focusing on original cast now grown up and teaching a new generation themselves, was short-lived and eventually ended, paving the way to book focused more on the students, ''ComicBook/NewXMenAcademyX''. Then ''ComicBook/XMenMessiahComplex'' was used to close all X-Men books, but writing them of ''NXM'' would pick up many unresolved subplots and continue them in ''ComicBook/XForce2008''. Which itself ended in another event, ''ComicBook/XMenSecondComing'', up from which two new series picking up where ''X-Force'' left, ''ComicBook/UncannyXForce'' and new ComicBook/{{X23}} solo series picked up.

** Speaking of Ewing, he used events of ''ComicBook/CivilWarII'' to both end ''ComicBook/NewAvengers2015'' and launch ''ComicBook/USAvengers'' at the same time. U.S.Avengers ended in another event, ''ComicBook/AvengersNoSurrender'', which also served to bring back titular character of what would argurably become Ewing's magnum opus, ''ComicBook/ImmortalHulk''.

* ''Stargate Command'': {{Subverted}}. The ninth season of ''Series/StargateSG1'', with its new main characters and new major villain, almost became an entirely new show -- which would be called this -- that would pick up where ''SG-1'' left off. Ultimately it was decided to just continue with ''SG-1'' instead.

* ''ComicStrip/{{Outland}}'': From the ashes of ''ComicStrip/BloomCounty'' came this one.

* ''Series/AfterMASH'': Despite the incredible resolution of the final episode of ''Series/{{MASH}}'', it still managed to spawn a follow-up the very next season, starring Colonel Potter, Klinger, and Father Mulcahy. This happened after a vote from the main cast of the former show voted not to continue for another season - these three actors voted in the minority to continue on. The new show took place in a veteran's hospital and attempted to mimic the dramatic turns of the later seasons of ''M*A*S*H.'' It lasted for two seasons, never getting high ratings in its first season and being pitted against the intensely popular ''Series/TheATeam'' in its second, which effectively slaughtered it.

Ultimately it was decided to just continue with ''SG-1'' instead.

* Creator/NormanLear: His most famous shows, such as ''Series/AllInTheFamily'' and ''Series/SanfordAndSon'', get hit by this trope in the form of, respectively, ''Series/ArchieBunkersPlace'' plus ''[[Series/SevenHundredFourHauser 704 Hauser]]'' and ''Series/{{Sanford}}'' plus ''Series/TheSanfordArms''. It must be noted, however, that Lear was not involved in the production of the last two.

* ''VideoGame/RemnantFromTheAshes'' has this in the title and justifiably so. The game is a jumping point from the earlier much different, obscure [=VR=] game ''VideoGame/{{Chronos}}'' and its DownerEnding where that game's ChosenOne was played and ended up releasing a great evil on the Earth. ''VideoGame/RemnantII'' is the sequel to Remnant and expands on its hopeful ending, as humans regain more territory on Earth and the heroes keep scoring major victories against the Root.

* ''TabletopGame/WarhammerAgeOfSigmar'': ''TabletopGame/WarhammerFantasy'' ended with the complete victory of evil (Chaos, orcs, vampires, and Skaven) over good, destroying the world for good measure. That's the starting point of ''Age of Sigmar''.

* ''Series/TheGoldenPalace'': At the end of the series, three of the four characters of the ''Series/TheGoldenGirls'' buy a hotel with Don Cheadle as the manager. It lasted only one season.

* ''Series/StargateAtlantis'': {{Subverted}}. It was originally intended to be a continuation of ''Series/StargateSG1'' in this manner but then ''SG-1'' got renewed by the network, so they made the two shows side-by-side for three more years instead. Notably, this led to the relocation of Atlantis itself to another galaxy, while it was originally supposed to be in Antarctica. This is the reason why the ninth season of ''SG-1'' has

* ''Series/{{Highlander}}: The last season has several episodes designed to [[PoorlyDisguisedPilot promote potential spin-offs]]. When the series ended, the network choose to give the immortal Amanda her own series, ''Series/HighlanderTheRaven''.

* Creator/NormanLear: His most famous shows, such as ''Series/AllInTheFamily'' and ''Series/SanfordAndSon'', get hit by this trope in the form of, respectively, ''Series/ArchieBunkersPlace'' plus ''[[Series/SevenHundredFourHauser 704 Hauser]]'' and ''Series/{{Sanford}}'' plus ''Series/TheSanfordArms''. It must be noted, however, that Lear was not involved in the production of ''Sanford''.

* ''Series/{{Frasier}}'': It's the go-to example of a show that performed as well as its predecessor. ''Frasier'' ended its run after 11 seasons, exactly as long as ''Series/{{Cheers}}''.
