** ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4'' jumped the timeline up to late 2004, which still fell into this because it came out in early 2005, before later main numbered entries would go for being set later in the same year of or in the year after their release.

* ''VideoGame/SilentHill2'' released in 2001 and is set in the early 90's.

* ''VideoGame/YIIKAPostmodernRPG'' came out in 2019 and is set in a 1999 [[AnachronismStew that looks suspiciously like 2019]].

* ''Film/TheGodfatherPartIII'' is set in 1979, only 11 years prior to its 1990 production.

* ''Film/BackToTheFuture'': The framing scenes are in 1985 when the movie was filmed, while the core story takes place in 1955. ''Film/BackToTheFuturePartII'' and ''Film/BackToTheFuturePartIII'', filmed in 1989, continue to set the present day in 1985, [[ImmediateSequel as the story begins promptly when the first movie ends.]]

** The follow up movie ''Anime/DigimonAdventureLastEvolutionKizuna'' takes place in 2010, but was released in 2020.

* ''Film/{{Bombshell|2019}}'', released in 2019, covers the 2016 sexual harassment scandal surrounding Creator/FoxNews chairman and CEO Roger Ailes.

** ''Literature/AllDressedInWhite'' was published in 2015, though based on the timeline it's set a year earlier in 2014, a few months after ''The Cinderella Murder'' (it's mentioned in both this novel and the preceding one that it's been nearly a year since ''Under Suspicion'' aired its first episode and just over five years since Laurie's husband was killed; the latter occurred around the same time Amanda – the missing bride central to ''All Dressed in White'' - disappeared).
** ''Literature/TheSleepingBeautyKiller'' was published in 2016 and is set in 2014, a month after the events of ''All Dressed in White''.

* ''Film/TheDisasterArtist'': Released in 2017, covers Creator/GregSestero's friendship with Creator/TommyWiseau from 1998 to 2003, centering particularly on the making of ''Film/TheRoom'' during the latter part of that period.

* ''Series/BetterCallSaul'' is set primarily between 2002 and 2004, and aired between 2015 and 2022. Certain segments are set immediately before and during the events of ''Series/BreakingBad'' (2007–2008), while its "present day" segments are set in late 2010.
* The five years in which ''Series/BreakingBad'' was airing all take place in the same year in-universe (2008/09 in-show for 2008-2013 in reality), making the later seasons this trope.

* ''Film/Shampoo'' was released in 1975, but set on and around Election Day in 1968. Part of this is because co-writers Creator/WarrenBeatty and Creator/RobertTowne were unable to get financing at first.

* ''LightNovel/FateZero'' was originally written in 2007, while the main plot, a prequel to ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' set during the previous Holy Grail War 10 years prior, takes place in the mid-1990s.
