When a property leaves room for continued adventures or ends on an outright SequelHook, but is continued in a different medium.

This is most likely due to the original property not doing well financially, but has enough interest to merit continuation in a cheaper medium. Alternatively, they were ScrewedByTheNetwork of the original medium and they have to continue it in another. In case of movie continuation from other media, it may also mark a special part of the whole story.

See also TheResolutionWillNotBeTelevised and its inverse RecycledTheSeries. Related to ExpandedUniverse when the other media-sequels are treated as a lesser canon. Compare AnimeFirst and ComicBookAdaptation, as well as {{Continuation}}, FanSequel and NextGenFic for FanFic examples.

Note that cases of prequels and interquels also count here; the point is, the works are all part of the same timeline.

!Examples by the ''original'' medium

[[AC:AnimeAndManga]]
* ''Manga/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaVivid'' is the manga continuation (the 4th season to be specific) of the anime ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaStrikers''.
* Even though the ''Franchise/DotHack'' franchise started with ''Anime/DotHackSign'', the entire storyline is told between numerous mediums. Chronologically, the story goes from novels (''LightNovel/DotHackAIBuster''), to anime (''Anime/DotHackSign''), to video games (''[[VideoGame/DotHackR1Games .hack//Infection, Mutation, Outbreak, and Quarantine]]''), to anime that takes place during the games (''Anime/DotHackLiminality''), to novels (''.hack//ZERO''), to manga (''Manga/DotHackLegendOfTheTwilight''), to anime (''.hack//Roots'') that serves as both the prequel and epilogue to the corresponding video games (''VideoGame/DotHackGU''), that features a novel (''.hack//CELL'') as a side story between the two, to manga (''.hack//LINK''), to anime (''Anime/DotHackQuantum'').
** This isn't even counting non-canon retellings such as the ''.hack//XXXX'' and ''.hack//GU '' manga. Yeah.. [[CashCowFranchise Its that kind of series.]] There are more games in the works too.
* ''Anime/TheSkyCrawlers'' had a prequel in the form of a video game called ''The Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces''.

*''Film/TheNextGenerationPatlabor'' is the live-action sequel to the original ''Anime/{{Patlabor}}'' OVA continuity, and is set 15 years after its conclusion. Which also makes it the DistantFinale, as most of the original cast have retired from the SVU by then.
* The classic animated film ''Anime/BloodTheLastVampire'' got manga sequel, and said manga sequel got a video game sequel.
