Sequels are ubiquitous these days. While sequel creep has overtaken the modern movie landscape, it’s not like they are some new invention. They made six Thin Man movies between 1934 and 1947, after all. There is also the prequel, which has become more common but less ubiquitous. Perhaps that’s because you can only really go to the prequel well once unless fantastic beasts are involved, and that’s a whole mess we don’t want to get into.
A prequel, if you are not aware and have not deduced it, is a film that happens in a series but takes place earlier in the timeline of the film series.
