sequels

A sequel is a follow-up work, such as a movie, book, or game, that continues or expands on the story, characters, or themes of a previous installment. It is made to build on the original's universe, often allowing fans to explore new adventures or see what happens next, while maintaining connections to the initial work. Sequels help creators develop a narrative over time and can enhance engagement by deepening the story or exploring new aspects of familiar characters. They are common in entertainment as a way to capitalize on the success and popularity of an original piece.
