* ''VideoGame/SilentHill2'': Despite taking place in the titular town, it completely ignores The Order and other elements from the first game, being more focused on the PsychologicalHorror brought by the protagonist's tribulations and the people around him and thus is more self-contained than other games on the franchise.

* ''Film/{{Blue Beetle|2023}}'' is part of the Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse, but has no explicit links to that continuity. In contrast, previous DCEU movies always had explicit links to each other as they came out. For instance, ''Blue Beetle'' merely references the existence of Batman, unlike say the first ''[[Film/Shazam2019 Shazam!]]'' movie which had a Batarang that was clearly the same design as those used by DCEU Batman. Yet it works as a standalone story within the DCEU, while also extending the universe further.

Added DiffLines:
** "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS3E2MissionToTheUnknown Mission to the Unknown]]" is a unique episode, being the only Doctor-lite episode in Classic Who, but the reason is that it was a BackdoorPilot for a Dalek-focused SpinOff. It ''did'' get a sequel, but it was a SequelInAnotherMedium, being an audio from Big Finish called Dalek Empire, which is an AlternateContinuity to the classic series, although [[BroadStrokes it takes some of the show's original canon liberally]].
Added DiffLines:
* ''When Hope Calls'', a SpinOff of ''Series/WhenCallsTheHeart'' can be watched independently of its parent series; it follows Lillian and Grace, introduced in the ChristmasEpisode ''Series/WhenCallsTheHeart'':''The Greatest Christmas Blessing''. The show's entire StoryArc about an orphanage has no ties to its parent show and there are [[ContinuityNod no references to the parent franchise]], making this a standalone work too.
