Colbert Bump is the closest I can think of.
I didn't write any of that."Stage X" of the Fandom Life Cycle may cover that. "...an adaptation/spin-off series becoming popular" introduces a Newbie Boom.

I think it might also be covered by Adaptation Displacement - see the Game of Thrones entry on that page.
