Spiritual Successor
A spiritual successor (sometimes called a spiritual sequel) is a product or fictional work that is similar to, or directly inspired by, another previous product or work, but (unlike a traditional prequel or sequel) does not explicitly continue the Product lining, product line or Multimedia franchise, media franchise of its predecessor, and is thus only a successor "in spirit". Spiritual successors often have similar themes and styles to their preceding material, but are generally a distinct intellectual property. In fiction, the term generally refers to a work by a creator that shares similarities to one of their earlier works, but is set in a different Canon (fiction), continuity, and features distinct characters and settings. Such works may arise when License, licensing issues prevent a creator from releasing a direct sequel using the same copyrighted characters and names as the original.
