History Main / SequelSeries

** ''Anime/DigimonXrosWars'' got ''[[Anime/DigimonXrosWarsTheYoungHuntersWhoLeaptThroughTime The Young Hunters Traveling Through Time]]''.

* ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima'' is followed by ''Manga/UQHolder'', though [[StealthSequel this wasn't immediately obvious]].

** ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars'' was rather explicitly a sequel series to ''Franchise/TransformersGeneration1'', though it takes place [[{{TimeyWimeyBall}} before ]] ''[[TimeyWimeyBall and]]'' [[TimeyWimeyBall after it]], and uses elements from both [[WesternAnimation/TheTransformers the G1 cartoon]] and [[ComicBook/TheTransformers the comic]] - WordOfGod states that Generation 1 has become like Arthurian legend to them, with the stories we know being their distortions of "actual" history. In turn, ''Beast Wars'' was given its own Sequel Series called ''WesternAnimation/BeastMachines''.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}}'' was followed by ''WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce'', ''WesternAnimation/Ben10UltimateAlien'', and finally ''WesternAnimation/Ben10Omniverse''.

** ''Anime/DigimonXrosWars'' got ''[[Anime/DigimonXrosWarsTheYoungHuntersLeapingThroughTime The Young Hunters Traveling Through Time]]''.

* ''Series/CobraKai'' follows Johnny Lawrence and Daniel [=LaRusso=] of the original ''Film/{{The Karate Kid|1984}}'' film 30 years after the original film and focuses on Johnny restarting the Cobra Kai dojo.

* ''Anime/YokaiWatch'' has a DarkerAndEdgier sequel series titled ''Anime/YokaiWatchShadowside'', which also serves as a sequel to the movie ''Anime/YokaiWatchShadowsideTheReturnOfTheOniKing''. The series features Nate's Children and their friends as protagonists and less-stylized Yo-kai (with two forms, the harmless Lightside and the scarier Shadowside) and more recurring antagonists.

** ''ComicBook/Supergirl1972'' was followed by ''ComicBook/Supergirl1972'' ten years after the former's cancellation. The adventures of ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} were folded into the ''ComicBook/SupermanFamily'' magazine in the interim between both series.

* The ''Fanfic/PonyPOVSeries'' started off as just the Discorded Ponies series, which was the point of views of characters as they're [[MindRape Discorded]] in canon (plus the alternate ending "[[BadFuture Epilogue]]"). Then came the Reharmonized Ponies series, which is the bulk of the series, dealing with the fallout from Discorded Ponies and soon developing its own, very extensive, world, mythology, and timeline.
** Epilogue was eventually followed up on by the Dark World Arc, which expanded until WordOfGod declared it it's own series running side-by-side with the Reharmonized timeline.
* ''Fanfic/CalvinAndHobbesTheSeries'' is a Sequel Series to both [[ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes the original strip]] and {{Creator/Swing 123}} and {{Creator/garfieldodie}}'s respective ''Calvin and Hobbes'' fanfic series.
* [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11055954/1/Lost-Relics Lost Relics]] is this to ''FanFic/RidingTheWaves''.
* ''Songs of Lost Children'' is one for the ''FanFic/BloomingMoonChronicles''.

* ''ComicBook/TheTransformers'' comic book by Creator/MarvelComics had three continuations.

** ''Transformers Classics'', a follow-up by Fun Publications that notably crossed over with ''ComicBook/TransformersShatteredGlass'' in an arc that ended with that reality being destroyed (most of the Cybertronians and humans ended up migrating to the ''Shattered Glass'' universe, with the ''Of Masters and Mayhem'' arc providing closure for the fates of the Autobots' human allies and the final ''ComicBook/TransformersTransTech'' story, itself an epilogue to the aforementioned ''Of Masters and Mayhem'', revealing that several until then unnaccounted for Autobots had also survived their universe's destruction).

* ''ComicBook/TheTransformers'' comic book by Creator/MarvelComics had two continuations.

** ''The Transformers: Regeneration One'', a maxiseries by Creator/IDWPublishing that disregards the stories exclusive to the UK version of the comic and ''Generation 2'' and takes place 21 years after the conclusion of the original series.

** While already mentioned above, the ''Franchise/UltramanZero'' movies are directly followed up by ''Series/UltramanGeed'', which brings back Zero and his enemy Ultraman Belial, only now Zero is TheLancer supporting a new hero opposing Belial. ''Series/UltramanZ'' also includes these elements, with Zero and Geed making a few cameos and Belial being an absent-yet-influential GreaterScopeVillain, but the connections are much smaller than they were in ''Geed''.

** While they take place in different universes in the Ultraman multiverse, the ''Franchise/UltramanZero'' movies are followed up by ''Series/UltramanGeed'' and ''Series/UltramanZ'', which both involve Zero as a supporting character and his enemy Ultraman Belial as a major force somehow involved with the villains.

* ''Anime/KamisamaMinaraiHimitsuNoCocotama'', based on Creator/{{Bandai}}'s Cocotama toyline, was given a sequel series in ''Anime/KiraKiraHappyHirakeCocotama'', which in turn had its own continuation in ''Mono no Kamisama Cocotama''.

* ''Film/{{JurassicWorld}}'' is this to the Jurassic Park films.

* ''Rick Steves' Europe'', to ''Travels in Europe''.

* ''Franchise/DragonBall'' has a strange example. The second part of the series (from the Saiyans Saga to the DistantFinale) kept the original name, but became known as ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' after it was adapted into an anime. The United States decided to name the second part of the manga ''Dragon Ball Z'' anyway, to differentiate it from and avoid confusion with the first part. ''Anime/DragonBallGT'', however, is clearly a sequel series to ''Z''. There was eventually a {{midquel}} series called ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'', taking place sometime before ''DBZ''[='s=] actual finale.

** All Ultra series from the Showa era (''Series/UltraQ, Series/{{Ultraman}}, Series/UltraSeven, Series/ReturnOfUltraman, Series/UltramanAce, Series/UltramanTaro, Series/UltramanLeo, Series/UltramanEighty'') share the same continuity, although the idea was not established until ''Return of Ultraman''. Heisei entries ''Series/UltramanMebius, Series/UltraGalaxyMegaMonsterBattle'', and the''Franchise/UltramanZero'' movies also share the same universe, but also feature monsters from other series. To make it more confusing, ''Series/UltramanMax'' and the Heisei ''Ultraseven'' series are set in alternate continuations of the universe where their respective Ultras are the only ones to visit Earth, while WordOfGod claims ''Series/UltramanGeed'' is also part of the same continuity.

** After Creator/IDWPublishing acquired the comic book license following the end of Devil's Due Publishing's tenure, they published their own continuation of the Marvel Comics continuity, which continued the issue numbering of the original Marvel Comics run and rendered the Devil's Due continuation [[CanonDiscontinuity non-canon]].

* ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'' takes place over 70 years after its predecessor, ''Literature/TheHobbit''.

* Where most ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'' series are {{Alternate Continuit|y}}ies, ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'' is directly followed by ''Anime/DigimonAdventure02''.

* In the wake of "Batman R.I.P." Tim's ongoing ''ComicBook/RobinSeries'' was cancelled to be followed after a brief hiatus by ''ComicBook/RedRobin''.
* Eight years after its cancellation ''ComicBook/Superboy1994'' got a sequel series in ''ComicBook/Superboy2011'', which was then canceled itself before the year was out due to ComicBook/{{Flashpoint}} rebooting continuity.

* The ''FanFic/PonyPOVSeries'' started off as just the Discorded Ponies series, which was the point of views of characters as they're [[MindRape Discorded]] in canon (plus the alternate ending "[[BadFuture Epilogue]]"). Then came the Reharmonized Ponies series, which is the bulk of the series, dealing with the fallout from Discorded Ponies and soon developing its own, very extensive, world, mythology, and timeline.

** After Creator/IDWPublishing acquired the comic book license following the end of Devil's Due Publishing's tenure, they published their own continuation of the Marvel Comics continuity that rendered the Devil's Due continuation [[CanonDiscontinuity non-canon]].

* ''Manga/ShamanKing'' was succeeded by ''Manga/ShamanKingFlowers''

** ''Transformers: Generation 2'', a direct continuation of the original comic that was also published by Marvel and lasted 13 issues (counting a zero-numbered issue) after starting off with a five-part arc in ''ComicBook/GIJoeARealAmericanHeroMarvel''.

* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' was followed by ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverseTheMovie'' and ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverseFuture'', both of which are [[TimeSkip set two years after the former's finale]]. Unusually, ''Steven Universe'' concluded its MythArc, and instead of starting a new one, the movie is a relatively self-contained story while ''Future'' is a MiniSeries meant to serve as a epilogue, showing the character's lives in the new era. Production was also (near) continuous between all three and ''Future'' was only announced a few months before airing, leading many viewers to think its episodes (which staff members had mentioned working on) were simply part of another season.

* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'' was a sequel to the entire Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse most particularly ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' taking place in the nearly-distant future, where Bruce Wayne has retired and a new Batman takes up the mantle. Before that, ''[[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries The New Batman Adventures]]'' took place a few years after the original series, although it's sometimes considered just a continuation, not a whole new series. ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague (Unlimited)'' was a sequel series to all of the DCAU, but was most clearly a successor to ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries'', due to the continued prominence of ComicBook/LexLuthor and ComicBook/{{Brainiac}} as well as continuing several {{Myth Arc}}s from ''Superman TAS''.
