| 6 | Like anything having to do with TV production, this trope has a dark side. Under U.S law, and possibly a few other countries, if a television series runs over a certain number of episodes then the cast are entitled to a percentage of the show's take, in addition to their normal salaries. However, it doesn't take more than some minor rebranding to have a show's new season be legally considered a completely different property. Conversely, any Anime series that continues after concluding its initial premise usually changes its name in this manner when it gets UnCancelled. |

| 8 | 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. |

| 10 | !!Examples: |
| 11 | |
| 12 | [[foldercontrol]] |
| 13 | |
| 14 | [[folder:Anime & Manga]] |
| 15 | * ''Anime/EurekaSeven'' is followed by ''Anime/EurekaSevenAO''. |
| 16 | * Similar to the ''Franchise/StarTrek'' franchise, the ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'' franchise is made of this trope. Just looking at the Universal Century and excluding movies/{{OVA}}s, you can come up with four different ~50 episode series: ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'', ''Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam'', ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ'', and ''[[Anime/MobileSuitVictoryGundam Victory Gundam]]''. When one adds in the {{OVA}}s and movies, the UC era alone has well over a dozen entries in it. |
| 17 | * ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'': |
| 18 | ** ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'' is directly followed by ''Anime/DigimonAdventure02''. |
| 19 | ** ''Anime/DigimonFusion'' got ''[[Anime/DigimonXrosWarsTheYoungHuntersWhoLeaptThroughTime The Young Hunters Who Leapt Through Time]]''. |
| 20 | * ''Franchise/{{Naruto}}'': |
| 21 | ** ''Naruto Shippuden'' takes place 2-3 years after the original ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' anime. This is strictly anime business, however; both are adaptations of a single manga series, and Masashi Kishimoto considers both as part of one series with no break in-between. Instead, they are separated by six prequel chapters unofficially called ''Kakashi Gaiden'' (the anime infamously inserted loads upon loads of filler episodes in their place to give time for the manga to catch up. ''Kakashi Gaiden'' was adapted to animation much later). |
| 22 | ** ''Naruto'' later gets a full sequel of its own in ''Manga/{{Boruto}}'', which [[SpinOffspring focuses on Naruto's son]]. ''Boruto'' is not illustrated by Kishimoto, so it is considered a different creature from the original. |
| 23 | * ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry'' to ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'' |
| 24 | * ''Franchise/DragonBall'' is a strange example. When the anime got to the start of the Saiyan Arc, Creator/{{Toei|Company}} changed the name to ''Anime/DragonBallZ''. For decades fans assumed this made ''Z'' a Sequel Series; after all this ''is'' where the action ramps up higher than ever before, the characters go to space, and Goku reckons with his Saiyan heritage. But as revealed in [[https://www.forbes.com/sites/olliebarder/2016/10/15/kazuhiko-torishima-on-shaping-the-success-of-dragon-ball-and-the-origins-of-dragon-quest/#49d0437225e5 a 2016 interview]], it was actually to [[MoneyDearBoy get more promotion money by changing the title of the existing show]], making it a case of NewSeasonNewName. Case in point? ''Dragon Ball Z'' aired in ''Dragon Ball'''s timeslot without skipping a beat, and makes no effort to introduce new viewers to the Dragon World. |
| 25 | ** The above also applies to the English translation of the manga: the volumes that were adapted into ''Dragon Ball Z'' had their names changed to it to appeal to fans of the anime. |
| 26 | ** ''Anime/DragonBallGT'' however is a proper example of this trope, as it was an original creation of Toei that continued the story after the end of the manga's storyline. |
| 27 | ** ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'' is also a Sequel Series, albiet technically a {{Midquel}} {{Revival}} as it takes place during the 10 year timeskip before the epilogue chapters. |
| 28 | * ''Leo the Lion'' covers the last third of the original manga of ''Manga/KimbaTheWhiteLion'' after the 60's anime ended. |
| 29 | * ''Manga/GingaNagareboshiGin'' was succeeded by ''Anime/GingaDensetsuWeed.'' |
| 30 | * ''Anime/GenesisOfAquarion'' is followed by ''Anime/AquarionEvol''. ''Anime/AquarionLogos'', however, averts it, as it's not in continuity with ''Evol.'' |
| 31 | * ''Manga/GreatTeacherOnizuka'' is a sequel series to ''Manga/GTOTheEarlyYears'', and has its own sequel series ''GTO: Paradise Lost'' (plus the {{interquel}} ''GTO: 14 Days in Shonan''). |
| 32 | * ''Manga/MarOmega'' continues on after ''Manga/{{MAR}}''. |
| 33 | * ''Manga/ShamanKing'' was succeeded by ''Manga/ShamanKingFlowers'', and this series in turn was followed by ''Shaman King: The Super Star''. |
| 34 | * ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'' is followed by ''Manga/UQHolder'', though [[StealthSequel this wasn't immediately obvious]]. |
| 35 | * ''Anime/OjamajoDoremi'' has ''Ojamajo Doremi #(Sharp)'', ''Mo~tto! Ojamajo Doremi'', and ''Ojamajo Doremi Dokka~n!''. |
| 36 | * ''Anime/PrettyCure'': |
| 37 | ** ''Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure'' has ''Anime/FutariWaPrettyCureMaxHeart'', in which Cure Black and Cure White are reunited with Mepple and Mipple and gain a third teammate, Shiny Luminous. |
| 38 | ** ''Anime/YesPrettyCure5'' has ''Anime/YesPrettyCure5GoGo''. Like ''Max Heart'' above, this series also introduces TheSixthRanger, Milky Rose. |
| 39 | * ''Anime/{{Stitch}}'' is an anime sequel series to the ''Franchise/LiloAndStitch'' franchise, though it initially appears to be an AlternateContinuity. |
| 40 | * ''Anime/{{Free}}'' serves as one to Kouji Oji's ''[[Literature/HighSpeed2013 High☆Speed!]]'' novels. |
| 41 | * ''Manga/OsomatsuKun'' recieved a sequel series in ''Anime/OsomatsuSan'', taking place ten or so years after the original manga with the sextuplets as young adult {{NEET}}s. |
| 42 | * ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'' is the first sequel series to ''Anime/YuGiOh'', starting a chain that continues with ''Anime/YuGiOh5Ds'', ''Anime/YuGiOhZEXAL'', ''Anime/YuGiOhArcV'', and ''Anime/YuGiOhVRAINS''. |
| 43 | * ''Manga/CardCaptorSakura'''s manga and anime got a sequel with ''Manga/CardCaptorSakuraClearCard''. |
| 44 | * ''Manga/QQSweeper'' got a sequel in ''Queen's Quality'', featuring the same cast with new and old dangers. |
| 45 | * ''Anime/MapleTown'' was followed by a sequel called ''Palm Town''. Only Patty Rabbit from the previous series was featured though some of the Maple Town cast made occasional appearances. |
| 46 | * ''Anime/YokaiWatch'' has a darker 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. |
| 47 | ** Similarly, the spinoff AU ''Anime/YokaiWatchJamYokaiAcademyYCloseEncountersOfTheNKind'' series is a sequel to the sixth movie, ''Anime/YokaiWatchJamTheMovieYokaiAcademyYCanACatBeAHero''. |
| 48 | * ''Anime/MacrossII'' takes place in an alternate universe where the events of ''Anime/MacrossDoYouRememberLove'' happened and were not a ShowWithinAShow. It expands upon the music GeneticMemory of the Meltran and Zentran being placed within them by a MasterRace known as the Mardook for MindManipulation. |
| 49 | * ''WesternAnimation/VoltronForce'' picks up seven years after the final of the original ''Anime/{{Voltron}}''. |
| 50 | * ''Anime/KamisamaMinaraiHimitsuNoCocotama'', based on [[Creator/BandaiNamcoEntertainment Bandai]]'s Cocotama toyline, was given a sequel (or spin-off depending on whom you asked) series in ''Anime/KiraKiraHappyHirakeCocotama''. |
| 51 | * ''[[Manga/AngelHeart2001 Angel Heart]]'' was originally a sequel series to ''Manga/CityHunter'' before fan backlash for [[spoiler:killing off Kaoru]] led to it being declared an Alternate Continuity. |
| 52 | * ''Manga/BattleBDaman'', an anime about a boy named Yamato Delgado who wants to become the best at the eponymous game, was followed by ''Crash B-Daman''. |
| 53 | * ''Manga/KilalaPrincess'', a Disney-licensed 2005 shojo manga, was followed by a sequel in 2020. |
| 54 | * ''Manga/KOn'' had two separate manga continuations two years after the original series's ending: ''K-On College'' which follows Hokago Tea Time's college adventures, and ''K-On High School'' following Azusa's senior year. |
| 55 | * ''Manga/FairyTail'' is followed up by ''Manga/FairyTail100YearsQuest'', which chronicles the Strongest Team's intention to complete the titular quest [[AndTheAdventureContinues teased at the very end of the original series]] and getting pulled into a whole new adventure that threatens the world. |
| 56 | [[/folder]] |
| 57 | |
| 58 | [[folder:Audio Plays]] |
| 59 | * ''AudioPlay/BigFinishDoctorWho'': |
| 60 | ** ''The War Doctor Begins'', as well as being a {{prequel}} to ''The War Doctor'', follows ''The Eighth Doctor: Time War'', which precedes "[[Recap/DoctorWho50thPrequelTheNightOfTheDoctor The Night of the Doctor]]". |
| 61 | [[/folder]] |
| 62 | |
| 63 | [[folder:Comic Books]] |
| 64 | * In an interesting and bizarre variation of the trope, Music/MyChemicalRomance's album, ''Music/DangerDaysTheTrueLivesOfTheFabulousKilljoys'', has a sequel in the form of a comic book mini series, ''The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys'', written by MCR's lead singer and noted comic book writer, Gerard Way (who also wrote ComicBook/TheUmbrellaAcademy). |
| 65 | * In the wake of ''[[ComicBook/BatmanGrantMorrison Batman RIP]]'', Tim Drake's ongoing ''ComicBook/Robin1993'' was cancelled to be followed after a brief hiatus by ''ComicBook/RedRobin''. |
| 66 | * Following the FullyAbsorbedFinale of ''ComicBook/YoungJustice'' in ''ComicBook/TitansYoungJusticeGraduationDay'', the main cast of ''Young Justice'' (Tim, Kon, Cassie and Bart) continued the story of their superhero journey in ''ComicBook/TeenTitans2003'' |
| 67 | * ''ComicBook/BillyBatsonAndTheMagicOfShazam'' is a loose sequel to ''Shazam! The Monster Society of Evil''. |
| 68 | * ''Franchise/MarvelUniverse'': |
| 69 | ** ''ComicBook/TheAvengersMarkWaid'' 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. |
| 70 | ** ''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. |
| 71 | ** ''ComicBook/SabretoothAndTheExiles'' is a direct sequel to the ''ComicBook/Sabretooth2022'' series, with the same creative team. The titular 'Exiles' are Sabretooth's fellow prisoners in the Pit, now promoted to core cast. 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). |
| 72 | * ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'': |
| 73 | ** 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. |
| 74 | ** The original ComicBook/{{Superboy}} title ''ComicBook/Superboy1949'' was renamed ''Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes'' in 1973, and three years later it was spun into two different titles: ''ComicBook/Superboy1980'' -or Volume 2- and ''ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes'' Volume 2. |
| 75 | ** ''ComicBook/Supergirl1972'' was followed by ''ComicBook/Supergirl1982'' 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. |
| 76 | ** ''ComicBook/SupergirlRebirth'' is a direct continuation of ''ComicBook/Supergirl2011'', continuing the story six months after the end of the 2011 series. |
| 77 | * As part of DC's [[ComicBook/DCYou new editorial direction]] on June 2015 ''ComicBook/RedHoodAndTheOutlaws'' was spun into two different titles: ''ComicBook/Starfire2015'' and ''ComicBook/RedHoodArsenal''. Only the latter is a direct continuation, ComicBook/{{Starfire}}'s book has a little to do with ''ComicBook/RedHoodAndTheOutlaws'' |
| 78 | * ''ComicBook/{{The Transformers|Marvel}}'' comic books by Creator/MarvelComics had three continuations. The first one is set in the same continuity, while the others are considered alternate universes. |
| 79 | ** ''ComicBook/TransformersGeneration2'', 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''. |
| 80 | ** ''Transformers Classics'', a follow-up by Fun Publications that ignored the ''Generation 2'' comic and 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). |
| 81 | ** ''ComicBook/TheTransformersRegenerationOne'', 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. |
| 82 | * ''ComicBook/GIJoeARealAmericanHeroMarvel'' had two different comic continuations, both handled by different publishing companies. |
| 83 | ** When Devil's Due Publishing obtained the comic book license to ''Franchise/GIJoe'', they published ''ComicBook/GIJoeDevilsDue'', which was marketed as an official continuation of the Marvel Comics continuity. |
| 84 | ** After Creator/IDWPublishing acquired the comic book license following the end of Devil's Due Publishing's tenure, they published [[ComicBook/GIJoeARealAmericanHeroIDW 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]]. |
| 85 | * ''ComicBook/TheRocketeer'' got a lighter and softer [[WesternAnimation/TheRocketeer animated sequel]]. |
| 86 | * Even though it was a part of the ComicBook/New52 continuity reboot, ''ComicBook/AllStarWestern'' featuring ComicBook/JonahHex was for all intents and purposes a continuation of the previous ''ComicBook/JonahHex2005''. Helped that it maintained the same creative team of Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti and Hex's adventures being set in the 19th Century [[WildWest American West]] meant stories there would have little bearing on the present-day DC Universe. |
| 87 | * ''ComicBook/LesLegendaires Résistance'' is a continuation of the original series that occurs 20 years later, even though it's officially called a spin-off. |
| 88 | [[/folder]] |
| 89 | |
| 90 | [[folder:Fan Works]] |
| 91 | * 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. |
| 92 | * ''Fanfic/CalvinAndHobbesTheSeries'' is a Sequel Series to both [[ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes the original strip]] and Creator/Swing123 and {{Creator/garfieldodie}}'s respective ''Calvin and Hobbes'' fanfic series. |
| 93 | * [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11055954/1/Lost-Relics Lost Relics]] is this to ''Fanfic/RidingTheWaves''. |
| 94 | * ''Songs of Lost Children'' is one for the ''Fanfic/BloomingMoonChronicles''. |
| 95 | * A sequel to ''Fanfic/SchoolIdolDays'' titled ''School Idol Days S'', based on ''Love Live!'''s own Sequel Series ''Love Live! Sunshine!!'', was released upon completion of the first story. |
| 96 | * ''Shining and Sweet'' is the sequel to ''Fanfic/MaFille''. It focuses on Katrina's high school years and [[VideoGame/PunchOut Joe's last few years in the WVBA]]. |
| 97 | [[/folder]] |
| 98 | |
| 99 | [[folder:Films -- Live-Action]] |
| 100 | * ''Film/{{Creed|2015}}'', ''Film/CreedII'' and ''Film/CreedIII'' are this to the six ''Franchise/{{Rocky}}'' movies that precede it. |
| 101 | * ''Franchise/HarryPotter'' got a prequel series in the form of ''Fantastic Beasts'', [[Film/FantasticBeastsAndWhereToFindThem a]] [[Film/FantasticBeastsTheCrimesOfGrindelwald trilogy]] [[Film/FantasticBeastsTheSecretsOfDumbledore followup]] that takes place decades prior to the events of ''Film/HarryPotterAndThePhilosophersStone''. The series contains wholly new material lifted from no book in particular (unless you count its namesake, ''Literature/FantasticBeastsAndWhereToFindThem'', a {{Defictionalization}} of the universe' bestiary regarding, well, fantastic beasts), but since Creator/JKRowling is the screenwriter, it is considered a canonical entry to the franchise. |
| 102 | * ''Film/JurassicWorld'', ''Film/JurassicWorldFallenKingdom'' and ''Film/JurassicWorldDominion'' are this to the ''Franchise/JurassicPark'' films. |
| 103 | [[/folder]] |
| 104 | |
| 105 | [[folder:Literature]] |
| 106 | * ''Creator/DeanKoontz's'' ''Franchise/{{Frankenstein}}''. Set in modern New Orleans and follows [[IAmNotShazam the monster]] and Victor Frankenstein after a 170-year TimeSkip. |

| 108 | * Rick Riordan's ''Literature/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians'' is being followed up by ''Literature/TheHeroesOfOlympus''. And ''The Heroes of Olympus'' is in turn being followed up by ''Literature/TheTrialsOfApollo''. |
| 109 | * ''Literature/WarriorCats'' spawned multiple six-book series after the original six books, not to mention the graphic novels, Special Editions, and other "extras". |
| 110 | * ''Literature/LevenThumps'' is followed by a trilogy called ''Beyond Foo''. |
| 111 | * Terry Goodkind's Children of D'Hara and The Nicci Chronicles are this to ''Literature/TheSwordOfTruth''. |
| 112 | * ''Tugdual'' is the sequel of ''Literature/OksaPollock'' which focuses on the characters Tugdual and Zoé. |
| 113 | * Creator/BeverlyCleary's ''Literature/RamonaQuimby'' series is set a few years after the ''Literature/HenryHuggins'' series, written when Ramona and Beezus proved to be {{Breakout Character}}s, and would [[MorePopularSpinoff overshadow its predecessor]]. |
| 114 | * On top of six main novels, ''Literature/TheMortalInstruments'' series has received a sequel, an interquel, and two prequel trilogies, and is set to receive one more sequel trilogy (fun fact: [[TrilogyCreep Cassandra Clare originally planned to write three books]]. [[CashCowFranchise Now there are eighteen, not counting supplementary materials]].) |
| 115 | ** ''Literature/TheInfernalDevices'' is set 129 years before the original series in Victorian-era Britain. |
| 116 | ** ''Literature/TheDarkArtifices'' is set five years after the epilogue of the original series. |
| 117 | ** ''Literature/TheEldestCurses'' is an interquel series that takes place between installments of ''The Mortal Instruments'' and ''The Dark Artifices''. |

''Hand of Thrawn'' takes place ten years after the ''Thrawn Trilogy'' and fifteen years after the films. |
| 120 | * ''Literature/TheMouseWatch'' is one to ''WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers''. Gadget is the BigGood who created the titular HeroesRUs organization, while Chip and Dale make a cameo. ([[invoked]]WordOfGod is that Monterey Jack and Zipper aren't in the first three books, but will probably appear if the series continues.) |
| 121 | * ''Literature/SeptimusHeap'' is followed by the sequel series ''[=TodHunter=] Moon'', focusing on Septimus's own apprentice. |
| 122 | [[/folder]] |
| 123 | |
| 124 | [[folder:Live-Action TV]] |

| 132 | * ''Series/RickStevesEurope'', to ''Travels in Europe''. |
| 133 | * ''Series/DegrassiJuniorHigh'' was immediately followed by ''Series/DegrassiHigh'', and then, ten years later, by ''Series/DegrassiTheNextGeneration''. |
| 134 | * In 1988, the original ''Series/MissionImpossible'' was revived with Jim Phelps leading a team of new agents--including the son of one of the original team members. |
| 135 | * Technically speaking, all four series of ''Series/{{Blackadder}}'' were separate shows. The 1983 original ''The Black Adder'' was followed by ''Blackadder II'' in 1986, then ''Blackadder the Third'' in 1987, then ''Blackadder Goes Forth'' in 1989. |
| 136 | * ''Series/{{Garo}}'' is followed by ''Garo: Makai Senki'', which was later followed up by ''Garo: [[ChangingOfTheGuard Makai no Hana]]''.

| 141 | * ''Series/EscapeOfTheArtfulDodger'' follows on from ''Literature/OliverTwist''. |
| 142 | * ''Series/AshesToAshes2008'' is the sequel to ''Series/LifeOnMars2006'', keeping the same main cast but replacing Sam Tyler with Alex Drake, and moving from TheSeventies to TheEighties. |
| 143 | * ''Series/{{Heroes}}'' was followed by a 13-episode miniseries titled ''[[Series/HeroesReborn2015 Heroes Reborn]]''. |
| 144 | * ''The Munsters Today'' was originally this to ''Series/TheMunsters'' with the premise that the monster family from the original 1960's show had been in suspended animation for over 20 years and woke up in the late 80's, but started to become an AlternateContinuity by the time the second season began airing. |
| 145 | * ''Series/ArchieBunkersPlace'' is this to ''Series/AllInTheFamily'', with Archie now the owner of a bar and protector of Edith's niece Stephanie (introduced in the original show's final season). |
| 146 | * ''Series/MinorityReport2015'' takes place eleven years after [[Film/MinorityReport the film]], and follows one of the Precogs (Dash) trying to help people after Pre-Crime's shutdown. |
| 147 | * ''Franchise/ToeiTokusatsu'': |
| 148 | ** Although all ''Franchise/KamenRider'' series from the Showa Era already shared the same continuity, only two are to be a direct sequels to their predecessor. The [[Series/KamenRider original series]] was followed by ''Series/KamenRiderV3'', which had the eponymous hero being created by his predecessors to fight a new organization led by the old BigBad, also retaining TheMentor. Uniquely, ''Series/KamenRiderBlackRX'' stars the same protagonist taking on a new evil. |
| 149 | ** Similarly, ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' also has only one direct sequel: ''Series/TaiyouSentaiSunVulcan'', a sequel to ''Series/DenshiSentaiDenziman''. Unlike ''Black RX'', it's the lead villain of ''Denziman'' who returns, though now demoted to a lower, yet still very high position in a different organization fighting different heroes. |
| 150 | ** ''Series/MetalHeroes'': ''Series/SpaceSheriffGavan'' was followed by ''Series/SpaceSheriffSharivan'', whose eponymous hero was introduced in the last episodes of ''Gavan''. ''Sharivan'', which retained characters from ''Gavan'', was itself followed by ''Series/SpaceSheriffShaider'', the last of the ''Space Sheriff'' trilogy'' which saw the three Space Sheriffs unite in the finale''. Similarly, ''Series/TokkeiWinspector'' is followed by ''Series/TokkyuuShireiSolbrain'', the foundation of the eponymous team being set up in the final episodes of ''Winspector''. ''Solbrain'', which inherited characters from ''Winspector'', was itself followed by the more standalone ''Series/TokusouExceedraft'', the last of the ''Rescue Police'' trilogy which saw TheMentor for ''Winspector'' and ''Solbrain'' come BackForTheFinale. ''Series/JuukouBFighter'' is followed by ''Series/BFighterKabuto'', which takes place five years later. |
| 151 | ** ''Series/{{Kikaider}}'' would receive a sequel series that began airing right after it ended, focusing on Kikaider's "[[RoboFamily older brother]]" / prototype 01. |
| 152 | ** ''Series/{{Inazuman}}'' would receive a sequel series in the form of ''Inazuman Flash''. It was originally going to just be ''Inazuman'''s third quarter, but the production team decided to {{retool}} it into a new show in an effort to boost ratings. This also led to a two-part finale for ''Inazuman'' that ended on a {{cliffhanger}} setting up the plot of ''Flash''. |
| 153 | ** ''Series/Akumaizer3'' would receive a sequel in the form of ''Series/ChoujinBibyun''. It was more a sequel InNameOnly though, as it focused on a new set of heroes inheriting the Akumaizer 3's power and had a new supporting cast as well, with the Akumaizer 3 only appearing in the first episode to tip their hats off to their successors. |
| 154 | * ''Franchise/UltraSeries'': |
| 155 | ** 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. |
| 156 | ** ''Series/UltramanDyna'' is set several years after ''Series/UltramanTiga'' with the same attack team, but a totally new cast of characters. |
| 157 | ** ''Series/UltramanGinga'' has its very simply titled followup ''Ultraman Ginga S'', which switches from the former's story of childhood friends reencountering each other at their abandoned elementary school to the standard paramilitary formula, along with introducing a new Ultra called Ultraman Victory. |
| 158 | ** 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 who is also opposing Belial. ''Series/UltramanZ'' also includes these elements, with Zero and Geed making a few guest appearances and Belial being an absent-yet-influential GreaterScopeVillain, but the connections are much smaller than they were in ''Geed''. |
| 159 | * ''Series/SavedByTheBell'' had two concurrent sequel series. While most of the main cast went on to college (and met other new main characters) in ''Saved By The Bell: The College Years'', Bayside High, Mr. Belding, and a new cast of students remained the focus of ''Saved By The Bell: The New Class''. ''Series/SavedByTheBell2020'' premiered in 2020 and follows several students at Bayside High, including Zack and Kelly's and Jessie's sons. |
| 160 | * ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow'' has effectively become this to the cancelled ''Series/{{Constantine}}'' after John joins the team in Season 4, with his own previously incomplete storyline becoming the main season-long arc. Even before that, many elements and call backs from Constantine's own show were present in the third season. |
| 161 | * ''Series/TheVampireDiaries'' spawned ''Series/TheOriginals'' which spawned ''Series/{{Legacies}}''. |
| 162 | * ''Series/TheWhiteQueen'', focused on Elizabeth Woodville, is followed by ''Series/TheWhitePrincess'', focused on her daughter Elizabeth of York, in turn followed by ''Series/TheSpanishPrincess'', focused on ''her'' daughter-in-law UsefulNotes/CatherineOfAragon. |
| 163 | * ''Series/TheBradyBunch'' had two [[Series/BradyBunchSpinOffs short-lived attempts]] to follow the bunch's further misadventures, the 1981 sitcom ''The Brady Brides'' and the 1990 drama ''The Bradys''. |
| 164 | * ''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. |
| 165 | * ''Series/Watchmen2019'' is a live action sequel to the [[ComicBook/{{Watchmen}} comic book]]. |
| 166 | * ''Series/TheNewPope'' is the sequel to ''Series/TheYoungPope''. |
| 167 | * The Creator/JimDavidson sitcom ''Up the Elephant and Round the Castle'' was followed by a series called ''Home James'', which saw the protagonist Jim London lose the house he inherited and start a new job as a chauffeur for an aristocrat. Other than the character name, the two series are loosely connected. |
| 168 | * ''Series/PunkyBrewster2021'' is a sequel to ''Series/PunkyBrewster'', following the titular character as an adult, who is recently divorced and a mother of three. She fosters a girl who reminds her of herself. |
| 169 | * ''Series/{{Porridge}}'' was followed by the series ''Going Straight'', which followed Fletcher's life after prison and his attempts to go straight. It lasted just one season due to the untimely death of Richard Beckinsale, who played Godber. |
| 170 | * ''The L Word: Generation Q'' began in 2019, ten years after ''Series/TheLWord'' ended, picking up with Bette, Alice, Shane and Angelica, Bette's daughter (Tina is not seen at first, but later appears). Four new main characters were also introduced, along with several supporting. |
| 171 | * ''Series/TheFairlyOddParentsFairlyOdder'' takes place several years after ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents''. The trailer shows Timmy (now a grown man) passing on his fairy godparents to his younger cousin Viv, who succeeds him as the show's main character. |
| 172 | * ''Series/PrettyLittleLiarsOriginalSin'' is set years after ''Series/PrettyLittleLiars'' in a shared continuity but now following a new generation of Liars and A in a different town. |
| 173 | * ''Series/QuantumLeap2022'' is a continuation of the original ''Series/QuantumLeap'', focusing on a new incarnation of Project Quantum Leap and a new lead character, Ben Song, who enters the Quantum Accelerator decades after Sam Beckett did and ends up in the same situation. |
| 174 | * ''Series/TheSantaClauses'' is a sequel miniseries to the ''[[Film/TheSantaClause Santa Clause]]'' films set near the end of Scott Calvin’s career as Santa Claus. |
| 175 | * ''Series/That90sShow'' moves forward two decades after ''Series/That70sShow'' to tell the story of Eric Forman and Donna Pinciotti's daughter Leia and a new gang of teens from Point Place. |
| 176 | * ''Series/CSIVegas'' is set 6 years after ''Series/{{CSI}}'' and picks up after Captain Brass has retired and all the other original characters have moved on from the Vegas Crime Lab. During at least the first two seasons, various ones of them return to help out with current cases and/or get help with situations of their own. |
| 177 | * ''Series/{{Willow}}'': It's the sequel to [[Film/{{Willow}} the film]], picking up some 20-30 years on with several of the film's characters returning plus new ones being introduced on another adventure. Willow himself is naturally one of them. |
| 178 | * ''Series/HistoryOfTheWorldPartII'' is a sketch comedy follow up to Creator/MelBrooks’ ''Film/HistoryOfTheWorldPartI''. |

| 181 | [[folder:Video Games]] |
| 182 | * The ''VideoGame/MegaManClassic'' series has '''4''' sequel series, including ''VideoGame/MegaManX'' and ''VideoGame/MegaManZero'' and their AlternateContinuity VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork has ''VideoGame/MegaManStarForce''. See VideoGameLongRunners. |
| 183 | * ''VisualNovel/ApolloJusticeAceAttorney'', the sequel of the ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorney'' trilogy. Meanwhile, ''VisualNovel/AceAttorneyInvestigationsMilesEdgeworth'' is a {{midquel}} series, being set between Phoenix and Apollo's sagas. |
| 184 | * ''VideoGame/AceCombat'' is a ''prequel'' series. The [[VideoGame/AirCombat first]] [[VideoGame/AceCombat2 two]] games didn't have much to do with each other or the following games, so it was ''VideoGame/AceCombat3Electrosphere'' that laid the foundations of [[ConstructedWorld Strangereal]]. The problem was that it was set in [[TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture 2040]] and the developers wanted to return to the PresentDay setting of the first games. So, every game since then has been a build-up to ''Electrosphere'', at least until the ContinuityReboot with ''VideoGame/AceCombatJointAssault'' and ''VideoGame/AceCombatAssaultHorizon'' (particularly vitriolic fandom voices claim this happened because the timeline was getting dangerously close to ''Electrosphere'' and the developers have no idea where to go from there). They even managed to make a prequel to the prequel series with ''VideoGame/AceCombatZeroTheBelkanWar'', set in 1995. |
| 185 | * The ''VideoGame/MetroidPrimeTrilogy'' is an {{interquel}} series, taking place between ''VideoGame/{{Metroid|1}}'' and ''VideoGame/MetroidIIReturnOfSamus''. |
| 186 | * ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty'': |
| 187 | ** ''[[VideoGame/ModernWarfare Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare]]'' was followed by two direct sequels. |
| 188 | ** The ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOps'' sub-series is this to the original ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty'' (Or to be more exact ''World At War''), as the former is in the latter's continuity. |
| 189 | * ''[=Colin McRae=]: VideoGame/DiRT'', despite the name, is a sequel to ''VideoGame/ColinMcRaeRally 2005'', and all the following ''[=DiRT=]'' games are in the same franchise. It was only after the 2009 game ''[=DiRT=] 2'' that the ''[=Colin McRae=]'' title was dropped due to [[Creator/ColinMcRae the namesake rally driver]] was killed in a helicopter crash shortly after the first ''[=DiRT=]''. |
| 190 | * ''VideoGame/MarioArtist'', a series of 3 games for the N64 Disk Drive, is a sequel to ''VideoGame/MarioPaint''. ''VideoGame/SuperMarioMaker'' was also originally intended to be a ''Mario Paint'' sequel. |
| 191 | * ''VideoGame/{{Nier}}'' is a distant sequel series to the original ''VideoGame/{{Drakengard}}'', its story taking place after one of the latter's endings [[spoiler:wherein the final battle between the heroes and the BigBad spills over into our world and leads to humanity's extinction]]''. |

| 199 | [[folder:Western Animation]] |
| 200 | * ''WesternAnimation/AllHailKingJulien: Exiled'' is the sequel series to ''All Hail King Julien'', though it ultimately aired between season 4 and season 5, which premiered on May 12, 2017. |
| 201 | * The 2022 Creator/DisneyJunior series ''WesternAnimation/AlicesWonderlandBakery'' takes place after the events of [[WesternAnimation/AliceInWonderland the 1951 movie that inspired it]]. The show focuses on Alice, the great-granddaughter of the original Alice alongside other Descendants of famous Wonderland characters (with the exception of The Doorknob and The Cheshire Cat) who are working at Wonderland Bakery. |
| 202 | * ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' was followed by ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra''. |
| 203 | * ''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/MarvelUniverseDisneyXD same universe]] as ''WesternAnimation/UltimateSpiderMan2012'' and ''WesternAnimation/HulkAndTheAgentsOfSMASH'' |
| 204 | * ''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 new season, not a whole new series (it even has the same title sequence). ''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''. |
| 205 | * ''WesternAnimation/Ben10'' was followed by ''WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce'', ''WesternAnimation/Ben10UltimateAlien'', and finally ''WesternAnimation/Ben10Omniverse''. |
| 206 | * The 2006 ''WesternAnimation/BikerMiceFromMars'' revival takes place ten years after the events of the original 1993 series. |
| 207 | * ''WesternAnimation/CareBearsAndCousins'' is essentially one to ''WesternAnimation/CareBearsWelcomeToCareALot'', with the same main bears and villain, but reintroduced the cousins. |
| 208 | * ''WesternAnimation/CastlevaniaNocturne'' is a sequel to the 2017 ''WesternAnimation/{{Castlevania|2017}}'' series, set about 300 years after the original during the French Revolution. |
| 209 | * Inverted a bit with ''WesternAnimation/{{Dofus}}'', with the show being a prequel to another property in the same universe, ''WesternAnimation/{{Wakfu}}''. |
| 210 | * ''WesternAnimation/DragonsRidersOfBerk'' is a sequel to the film ''WesternAnimation/{{How to Train Your Dragon|2010}}''. |
| 211 | * ''WesternAnimation/ExtremeGhostbusters'' is a sequel series to ''WesternAnimation/TheRealGhostbusters'', with Egon mentoring a new team made of college students. |
| 212 | * ''WesternAnimation/GodzillaTheSeries'' is an immediate sequel to the 1998 American version of ''[[Film/Godzilla1998 Godzilla]]'', taking place not long after the end of the film with the last Godzilla egg hatching. |
| 213 | * ''WesternAnimation/IHeartArlo'' is set some time after the events of the film ''WesternAnimation/ArloTheAlligatorBoy'', where Arlo and his friends are now living at his dad's childhood boardwalk in New York and have adventures in the city while keeping the boardwalk going strong. |
| 214 | * ''WesternAnimation/InspectorGadget'' has two sequels: |
| 215 | ** ''WesternAnimation/GadgetAndTheGadgetinis'', which has Gadget promoted to Lieutenant and assisted by a pair of miniature robot versions of him named Fidget and Digit. |
| 216 | ** [[WesternAnimation/InspectorGadget2015 An unrelated 2015 sequel]], which has Gadget come out of retirement when his archenemy Dr. Claw returns to menace the world again. |
| 217 | * ''Literature/TheMagicSchoolBus'' has a [[WesternAnimation/TheMagicSchoolBusRidesAgain 2017 sequel]] airing on Creator/{{Netflix}} which was aimed at updating the series. |
| 218 | * ''WesternAnimation/MiloMurphysLaw'' begins with the first day of school after the summer which ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' took place during, with both shows taking place in a shared universe. From time-to-time throughout the first season, characters mention incidents that happened during their summer break that was the result of Phineas and Ferb's actions, such as the boys' rollercoaster falling out of the sky into one of their backyards. The second season would have some characters from ''Phineas and Ferb'' become part of the supporting cast as well. |
| 219 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheMrPeabodyAndShermanShow'' is set after the ''WesternAnimation/MrPeabodyAndSherman'' movie, with their life as time travelers out in the open at the end of the movie, the duo decide to share their stories in the form of a variety show. |
| 220 | * ''WesternAnimation/SpeedRacerTheNextGeneration'', taking place 40 years after the events in [[Anime/SpeedRacer the 1967 anime]]. |
| 221 | * ''WesternAnimation/StarTrekTheAnimatedSeries'' is an animated sequel to the live-action ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries''. It takes place on the same ship, during the same exploratory mission, with almost the entire main cast returning. It's generally seen as the fourth and fifth years of the ''Enterprise'''s five-year mission on TOS, which ended after 3 seasons. |
| 222 | * ''Franchise/StarWars'': |
| 223 | ** ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheBadBatch'' is a direct sequel to ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'', picking up immediately where the earlier show left off. Its premiere episode begins with the title card from ''The Clone Wars'' burning away to reveal the ''Bad Batch'' title card, and also starts with a ''Clone Wars''-style opening narrator. The show also directly continues the stories of various recurring characters from ''The Clone Wars'', including the eponymous Bad Batch. |
| 224 | ** ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels'' is a more DistantSequel that begins roughly fifteen years after ''The Clone Wars''. It doesn't follow on from its predecessor as directly as ''The Bad Batch'', but over time it reintroduces a lot of characters from ''The Clone Wars'' post-TimeSkip. |
| 225 | * ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' was followed by ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverseTheMovie'' and ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverseFuture'', both of which are [[TimeSkip set two years after the former's finale]] and were the result of the show being quietly UnCancelled behind-the-scenes. After being told the show wouldn't continue past a fifth season, creator Rebecca Sugar concluded its MythArc, only to discover that the network had changed its' mind and was willing to give her a sixth season after she requested making a TV movie finale. ''The Movie'' would remain a relatively self-contained story as planned; meanwhile, season six would become an expanded epilogue MiniSeries taking place after that, surprising fans who didn't expect the sixth season that the show's crew had mentioned in passing to actually be a sequel show. |
| 226 | * Several incarnations of the ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' franchise have received revivals and continuations of sorts. |
| 227 | ** ''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/TheTransformersMarvel 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''. |
| 228 | ** ''Anime/TransformersArmada'' was followed by ''Anime/TransformersEnergon'' and (after some ExecutiveMeddling to try and make it fit into the timeline) ''Anime/TransformersCybertron''. Collectively they later became known as the Unicron Trilogy. |
| 229 | ** ''WesternAnimation/TransformersRobotsInDisguise2015'' is a follow-up to ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime''. |
| 230 | ** ''WesternAnimation/TransformersRescueBots'' has ''[[WesternAnimation/TransformersRescueBotsAcademy Rescue Bots Academy]]'' which premiered in 2018. |
| 231 | * ''WesternAnimation/TrollsTrollstopia'' is an almost very literal one to ''WesternAnimation/TrollsTheBeatGoesOn'', as it follows up ''WesternAnimation/TrollsWorldTour'' in the same way ''The Beat Goes On!'' continued the first ''WesternAnimation/{{Trolls}}'' movie. |
| 232 | * Creator/{{Nicktoons}}'s ''WesternAnimation/VoltronForce'' is this to the [[Anime/{{Voltron}} original series]] from several decades ago, though only 5 to 7 years have passed in-story. Its unclear, however, if ''WesternAnimation/VoltronTheThirdDimension'' is still canon ([[BroadStrokes at least in part]]) or [[CanonDiscontinuity not]]. |
| 233 | * ''WesternAnimation/XiaolinShowdown'' is followed by ''WesternAnimation/XiaolinChronicles'', despite some BroadStrokes in terms of what happened between the two series. |
| 234 | * ''WesternAnimation/XMenTheAnimatedSeries'' is followed by ''WesternAnimation/XMen97'', which premiered in 2024. |
