* Most ''Literature/TheShipWho'' books are standalone, with at most a ShoutOut or cameo. ''The City Who Fought'' has a direct sequel in ''The Ship Avenged'' and ''The Ship Who Won'' has a direct sequel in ''The Ship Errant'', but both sequels discard nearly the entire cast of the first book.

* Vitruvius only appears in the very beginning of ''WesternAnimation/TheLEGOMovie2TheSecondPart'', in the scene that recreates [[WesternAnimation/TheLEGOMovie the first film]]'s ending, getting instantly knocked out; when the movie proper skips to five years later, he's never seen again and other characters never mention him.

** ''VideoGame/Splatoon3'' has the player characters of ''VideoGame/Splatoon2'''s two single-player campaigns (Agents 4 and 8) completely absent, with them receiving no mention or acknowledgement from the rest of the New Squidbeak Splatoon. This is notable because the group is now headed by [[PreviousPlayerCharacterCameo the player character]] of the original ''VideoGame/Splatoon1''.

* ''Series/Frasier2023'': Creator/DavidHydePierce and Creator/JaneLeeves both opted to not reprise their roles as Niles and Daphne (at least as regular characters) while Creator/PeriGilpin has only been confirmed for one guest appearance as Roz. The series has Frasier back in Boston instead of Seattle, explaining why the original ''Frasier'' cast (apart from Frasier) can't appear too often ... much like how the original ''Frasier'' had Frasier move to Seattle as a way of keeping the ''Series/{{Cheers}}'' characters from appearing regularly. But in setting this new sequel show back in Boston, this creates a case of Sequel Non-Entity for the entrie ''Cheers'' cast, none of whom have been seen or heard from.

* Dana Freeling, the eldest daughter in ''Film/{{Poltergeist|1982}}'' is completely absent from the film's sequel, with only a small mention from Steven that she wouldn't return to the original house. An original draft of the script explains her absence due to being away at college. Tragically, this is due to the actress, Dominique Dunne, being murdered by her ex-boyfriend shortly after the release of the first film.

* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTearsOfTheKingdom'': Kass, Vilia, the Monks, the Guardians, and the Divine Beasts do not return from [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild the previous game]]. While some of these can be HandWaved - the Guardians & Divine Beasts are implied to have been decommissioned after having been possessed by Ganon - the same can't be said for the rest. Kass is a particularly egregious example due to being a major recurring NPC in the first game, but come ''Tears of the Kingdom'' his existence is only alluded to briefly and even his own daughters don't seem to be eager to explain where he is or what happened to him.

* Rebecca from ''Film/NightAtTheMuseum'' doesn't appear or get mentioned in the sequel, despite starting a relationship with Larry at the end of the first film, because Creator/CarlaGugino was busy filming ''Film/RaceToWitchMountain''. And it'd be weird to have her along with Larry's relationship with [[MsFanservice Amelia]] [[Creator/AmyAdams Earhart]]. The nerdy IdenticalStranger seen at the sequel's end, played yet again by Creator/AmyAdams (and lightly implied to begin a relationship with Larry) is nowhere to be seen in the third movie either.
* Carla Purdy from ''Film/TheNuttyProfessor1996'' doesn't appear in ''Film/NuttyProfessorIITheKlumps''. She and Sherman broke up some time between the two films.
* Julia Roberts and Catherine Zeta-Jones don't appear in ''Film/OceansThirteen''. This is explained at the beginning of the movie with about two lines, the main one of which is "it's not their fight." However, given the nature of the motivation for the Ocean crew, this makes at least a little bit of sense.
