* ''DerivativeWorks/TheThreeMusketeers'': Some original stories give children (who are nowhere to be seen in the Dumas canon) to D'Artagnan and/or the other musketeers which never existed in either the [[Literature/TheThreeMusketeers original novel]] or its sequels.

* ''Film/GhostbustersAfterlife'' is about Egon's grandkids finding their grandfather's old ghost-busting equipment and finishing his unfinished business.

** ''D'Artagnan's Son'' (1949). Who's named Raoul.

* The short-lived incarnation of the Seven Soldiers of Victory in Creator/GrantMorrison's ''ComicBook/SevenSoldiers'' #0 included the Whip III, granddaughter of the Whip II (a NewOldWest {{Franchise/Zorro}} wannabe) and great-great-granddaughter of the Whip I (an [[{{Western}} Old West]] Zorro wannabe); I, Spyder, son of the original [=7SoV=] member (and traitor) Alias the Spider; and Gimmix, daughter of Merry the Gimmick Girl and, therefore, neice of the first Star-Spangled Kid, who was also an original [=7SoV=] member. In ''ComicBook/SevenSoldiers'' #1, the Bulleteer turns out to be directly descended from [[spoiler: Aurakles, the world's first superhero.]]

* ''ComicBook/CaptainVictoryAndTheGalacticRangers'' is a subtle example of this, as the series is a StealthSequel to Creator/JackKirby's ''ComicBook/NewGods'' and was published by Pacific Comics under the condition that Kirby had full creative control rather than Creator/DCComics. Near the end of the series, it is established that Captain Victory in his youth escaped from his home planet Hellikost to get away from the influence of his nefarious daughter Blackmass, Hellikost and Blackmass clearly being Apokolips and Darkseid under [[WritingAroundTrademarks trademark-friendly renames]] to avoid Pacific Comics getting sued by DC. Captain Victory's father, who is mentioned to have perished for standing up to Blackmass, is unnamed, but there are hints heavily implying that Victory is Orion's son.

* ''Literature/WagonsWest'': With the ninth book of the series, ''Washington!'', the children of the original Oregon settlers became the main focus of the series, especially Toby Holt. Come the follow up series ''The Holts'', Toby's children Tim, Janessa, and later (to a lesser extent) Mike took center stage while other third-generation individuals would occasionally gain focus as well, most notable Sam Brentwood (grandson of the original) and Frank Blake.

* ''Manga/{{Ultraman}}'' follows Shinjiro Hayata, the son of ''[[Series/{{Ultraman}} Ultraman's]]'' protagonist, as he inherits the Ultraman Factor, a form of FlyingBrick superpowers left over from Shin Hayata's fusion with Ultraman. Armed with PowerArmor resembling Ultraman, Shinjiro works alongside the SSSP and [[MythologyGag facsimiles of the other Ultra Brothers]] in battles against human-sized monster and alien threats.

* ''Franchise/FireEmblem'' played around with this on occasion. The fourth game, ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemGenealogyOfTheHolyWar Genealogy of the Holy War]]'', had the main characters at the start of the game [[spoiler:die off halfway through and]] be replaced with their children. Many (though not all) of the characters in ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBindingBlade The Binding Blade]]'' were the children of characters in ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade The Blazing Blade]]'', which is actually an ''inversion'' of the trope since ''Binding Blade'' was made first. (A couple of characters from ''Binding Blade'' were the parents of characters in ''Blazing Blade'', and grandparents of other characters in ''Binding Blade''.) ''The Future Past'' DLC serves as this to ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'' as the focus is on the [[KidFromTheFuture Kids From The Future]] in a timeline where they are losing the fight against Grima, while ''Heirs of Fate'' does the same for ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates'' as it focuses on the second generation.

* ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' has a different "[=JoJo=]" for each arc, but most/all are blood relatives one way or another (to exemplify: [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventurePhantomBlood Jonathan]] is grandpa to [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureBattleTendency Joseph]], who is grandpa to [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders Jotaro]], who is ''nephew'' to [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable Josuke]]). The most straightforward example is [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStoneOcean Jolyne]], Jotaro's daughter. [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureGoldenWind Giorno]] gets the most distant relations to any other, in fact his father's side of his family is downright screwed up (his dad is Dio, no less!), but regardless he bears the birthmark [[spoiler:since Dio had stolen Jonathan's body]]. ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureSteelBallRun Steel Ball Run]]'' is the first to avert this, due to being a ContinuityReboot, but the two arcs after that go back to playing this straight, with [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureJoJoLion Josuke]] being Johnny's descendent...kinda. [[spoiler:He's a fusion of Johnny's great-great-grandson Kira and Kira's friend Josefumi.]] The epilogue of ''[=JoJoLion=]'' features a more direct example in [[spoiler: Johnny's grandson (and by technicality Josuke's great-grandfather) Joseph aiding Lucy Steel.]] ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureTheJoJoLands The JOJOLands]]'' feature two more descendants of Johnny's, Jodio and Dragona, [[spoiler: Joseph's grandchildren from his ''other'' daughter]].

* ''Fanfic/QueensOfMewni'' started out as "Aurora, the Princess of Another Dimension" and featured Star and Marco's daughter Aurora, but fans took more to the historical side of the fanfic and Star's ancestors. QueensOfMewniSpinoffs tend to start with Aurora's own daughter and heir.

* ''Film/{{Creed}}'' features the son of Apollo Creed being trained by his father's friendly rival, Rocky Balboa. ''Film/CreedII'' continues this by introducing the son of Ivan Drago in an antagonistic role.

* ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' has a different "[=JoJo=]" for each arc, but most/all are blood relatives one way or another (to exemplify: [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventurePhantomBlood Jonathan]] is grandpa to [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureBattleTendency Joseph]], who is grandpa to [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders Jotaro]], who is ''nephew'' to [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable Josuke]]).

** ''VideoGame/HarvestMoonDS'' and its DistaffCounterpart ''DS Cute'' take place roughly 100 years after ''VideoGame/HarvestMoonAWonderfulLife'' and ''VideoGame/HarvestMoonFriendsOfMineralTown''. Everyone is an [[IdenticalGrandson Identical Grandchild]] and the valley folk fall in love with the [[ReincarnationRomance same people]]. The only differences are their [[{{flanderization}} characterizations]], some designs, and their names ([[DubNameChange in Japan]]). Unlike ''64'', this was more an excuse to explain why they're reusng the characters. The DS games feature many errors and oddities caused by the fact it's a sequel and not a reimagining.

* ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry4'' has Vergil's son Nero as the main protagonist, which is carried on into its [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry5 sequel]].
