** ''ComicBook/SabretoothAndTheExiles'' is a direct sequel to the ''ComicBook/Sabretooth2022'' series, with the same creative team. The titular 'Exiles' are supporting cast from the previous series, Sabretooth's fellow prisoners in the Pit. It's also an ImmediateSequel - the previous series ended up with Sabretooth's escape from the Pit leaving him in the clutches of Orchis. The new series starts with the head of the Orchis base being notified of a new prisoner, probably only hours later (at most).

* ''ComicBook/{{The Avengers|MarkWaid}}'' picks up where ''ComicBook/AllNewAllDifferentAvengers'' left off and continues the plot threads from there that are left out of ''Champions''. Also counts as a slight example to ''Hercules (2015)'' due to including Hercules and continuing his quest to redeem himself.

* ''ComicBook/GhostSpider2019'' is a direct continuation of ''Spider-Gwen: Ghost-Spider'', taking place immediately after that comic's last issue and sharing the same creative team of writer Creator/SeananMcGuire and artist Miyazawa. [=McGuire=] even recommends that you read that before beginning this series.

* ''WesternAnimation/ObanStarRacers'' was released in 2006, and lasted for 26 episodes. In 2017, the show's developers and creators announced that a sequel series is in development.

* ''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 an 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/MiloMurphysLaw'' begins with the first day of school after the summer which ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' took place during. From time to time, characters bring up the ways Phineas and Ferb's actions affected their own summer, like the time the boys' rollercoaster fell out of the sky and nearly crushed Melissa.

* ''Series/That90sShow'' is the upcoming sequel series to ''Series/That70sShow'', focusing upon Eric Forman's daughter.

* ''That '90s Show'' is the upcoming sequel series to ''Series/That70sShow'', focusing upon Eric Forman's daughter.

Officially distinct from[[note]]yet still a SubTrope of[[/note]] SpinOff in that a Sequel Series occurs ([[TimeSkip somewhat]]) immediately after the prior series and in the same general area. When a show continues as normal but renames itself for the new season, it's NewSeasonNewName, though oftentimes the two overlap. AfterShow is a subtrope where at least one vital member of the cast is absent. When a series continues[[note]]usually with the same ''characters'', [[LongRunnerCastTurnover but not actors]],[[/note]] but several elements/rules are updated for modern tastes, you have a {{Revival}}. See also: SeriesFranchise, where the follow-up has the same series name but only a few of the same elements. Sequel Series could be taken as an converse of CanonWelding in that the Sequel Series is pre-welded to its predecessor yet is legally distinct. If a series cannot follow its inspiration ''legally'' yet does so ''in spirit'', you have a SpiritualSuccessor.

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

* In the wake of ''ComicBook/BatmanRIP'' Tim Drake's ongoing ''ComicBook/RobinSeries'' was cancelled to be followed after a brief hiatus by ''ComicBook/RedRobin''.

* ''Series/DegrassiJuniorHigh'' was immediately followed by ''Series/DegrassiHigh'', and then, ten years later, by ''[[Series/{{Degrassi}} Degrassi: The Next Generation]]''.

* ''WesternAnimation/AvengersAssemble'' is not a sequel to ''WesternAnimation/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes'' in any way, although it tried to create the impression that it's either this or an AlternateContinuity sequel to ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'' film. In fact, it's neither, since it's actually set in the [[WesternAnimation/MarvelUniverse same universe]] as ''WesternAnimation/UltimateSpiderMan'' and ''WesternAnimation/HulkAndTheAgentsOfSMASH''

* ''ComicBook/TheTransformers'' comic books by Creator/MarvelComics had three continuations, all of them in separate continuities.

** ''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/StarTrekTheAnimatedSeries'' is an animated sequel to the live-action ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'', predating the other live-action sequels by over a decade.
* ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels'' takes place roughly fifteen years after ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars''. It also serves as a sequel to ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'' and as a prequel to ''Film/ANewHope''.
* ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheBadBatch'', whose eponymous team were introduced in ''The Clone Wars'', has its premiere start off at the same time as the former series' final arc, concurrent to ''Revenge of the Sith''.

* ''ComicBook/LesLegendaires Résistance'' is an official continuation of the original series, even though it's officially called a spin-off.

** ''Series/MelrosePlace'' also had a new incarnation. Both {{revival}}s are arguably InNameOnly, as they [[FollowTheLeader fit easily]] into the typical 'modern drama' template as ''Series/TheOC'' or ''Series/GossipGirl''.

* ''ComicBook/Avengers2016'' picks up where ''All-New All-Different Avengers'' left off and continues the plot threads from there that are left out of ''Champions''. Also counts as a slight example to ''Hercules (2015)'' due to including Hercules and continuing his quest to redeem himself.

* ''Manga/GreatTeacherOnizuka'' is a sequel series to ''Manga/ShonanJunaiGumi'', and has its own sequel series ''GTO: Paradise Lost'' (plus the {{interquel}} ''GTO: 14 Days in Shonan'').
