Not exactly what I'm looking for. Happy Ending Override would occur if it happened between installments and the heroes were unable to defeat the villain. What I'm thinking of is the sequel/continuation showing the heroes enjoying their victory, only for this new villain to show up and try to wreck everything.

Still Happy Ending Override, mixed with Immediate Sequel

I don't think it is. Happy Ending Override starts in a Crapsack World where the new villain won offscreen. What I'm thinking of is a work that starts with the heroes enjoying their hard-fought peace, possibly for a a while, until the new antagonist comes in ready to ruin everything.

Also close, but not exactly. Think of there being a second installment where the new villain is introduced.

Just downplayed Happy Ending Override, then.

Though I must say, "1st installment/episode ends with the day saved, 2nd one has a new villain enter" happens a real lot...

^"1st installment ends with the day saved, 2nd one has a new villain" is just Monster of the Week, I think.
