From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia · Read full article · Text CC BY-SA 4.0

A sequel is a work of literature, film, theatre, television, music, or video game that continues the story of, or expands upon, some earlier work. In the common context of a narrative work of fiction, a sequel portrays events set in the same fictional universe as an earlier work, usually chronologically following the events of that work. However, non-fiction sequels in media can also exist, such as a follow-up to a documentary with new information.
