History Main / SpinOffspring

* MarvelComics wanted to do a spinoff of Comicbook/{{The Avengers}} for a DVD. Instead of using the popular ''YoungAvengers'' franchise because characters were linked to controversial topics like drug-abuse, rape, and homosexuality, they made ''NextAvengersHeroesOfTomorrow'', which is essentially "Avengers Babies" with 8-year old children of the Avengers having adventures. No, really.

* ''FireEmblem'' played around with this on occasion. The fourth game, ''Genealogy of the Holy War'', had the main characters at the start of the game die off halfway through and be replaced with their children. Many (though not all) of the characters in ''The Sealed Sword'' were the children of characters in ''The Blazing Blade'', which would be a straight example if not for the fact that ''Sealed Sword'' was made first. (A couple of characters from ''Sealed Sword'' were the parents of characters in ''Blazing Blade'', and [[BadassGrandpa grandparents]] of other characters in ''Sealed Sword''. Still doesn't work because the game that came out first takes place later.)

* ''MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha [=ViVid=]''. A SpinOff of ''Nanoha'' (yes, a SpinOff of a SpinOff) starring Nanoha's adopted daughter, Vivio.

* The last two books in the ''{{Anne of Green Gables}}'' series revolve around the adventures of Anne and Gilbert's children.

* MarvelComics wanted to do a spinoff of Comicbook/{{The Avengers}} for a DVD. Instead of using the popular ''YoungAvengers'' franchise because characters were linked to controversial topics like drug-abuse, rape, and homosexuality, they made ''Avengers Next'', which is essentially "Avengers Babies" with 8-year old children of the Avengers having adventures. No, really.

* ''SpiderGirl'' and the majority of the teen hero characters from MarvelComics' MC-2 lineup.

* The sequel to ''[[http://www.rogermwilcox.name/ADnD The Intercontinental Union of Disgusting Characters]]'' is called ''The Sick Kids''. Guess who gets the spotlight!

* ''AceVentura Jr.'' A horrible idea, further plagued by the fact it is a sequel to a JimCarrey movie(s) that doesn't have Jim Carrey in it ''and'' is a sequel to a franchise that is more or less two decades old.
** On a similar note, see also 1993's ''Son of the PinkPanther''.

* The last two books in the ''{{Anne of Green Gables}}'' series revolve around the adventures of Anne and Gilbert's children.

[[AC:LiveActionTV]]

* In ''The New Tomorrow'', a spinoff-slash-sequel show to ''TheTribe'', the children worship their god Bray, who was a character in TheTribe. They also fear Zoot (who is Bray's brother, and acknowledged in the new series as the devil), showing that quite some time must have passed for a religion to have begun to form around them.

[[AC:VideoGames]]

* Originally, the cast of ''[[Lunar2EternalBlueComplete Lunar 2]]'' were going to be the kids of the couples from the first game. This idea was nixed and the plot set [[{{Exty Years From Now}} 1000 years later]], this does explain why everyone is pretty much a 50/50 mix of the previous crew.

* ''LeisureSuitLarry: Magna Cum Laude and Box Office Bust'' features Larry Laffer's nephew, Larry Lovage as the main character in both games.

!!Literature
* ''Famous 5: On the Case'' (The ''Famous Five'''s kids)

* The last two books in the {{Anne of Green Gables}} series revolve around the adventures of Anne and Gilbert's children.

!!Western Animation
* ''James Bond, Jr.'' (claimed by the theme song to be JamesBond's [[{{Nephewism}} nephew]], because although Bond did enough sleeping around that he probably could staff an entire spy agency with his juniors, you [[ChasteToons can't say that]] in the title sequence of a SaturdayMorningCartoon!)
* In a roundabout way, ''BatmanBeyond''; though Terry [=McGinnis=] is Bruce Wayne's protege rather than his son [[spoiler:it eventually comes out in the FullyAbsorbedFinale that thanks to Cadmus, Terry biologically ''is'' Bruce's son]].
* ''[[TheFlintstones The Pebbles and Bamm Bamm Show]]''
** And to complete the cycle, the show had a spiritual [[SpinoffBabies spinoff baby spinoff]] years after: ''Cave Kids: Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm''. It was ahead of its time, but it got ScrewedByTheNetwork.
* ''The Oz Kids'', which starred Dorothy's children Dot and Neddy, the Tin Boy, Scarecrow Jr., Jack Pumpkinhead Jr., the Cowardly Lion's cubs Boris and Bela, the Wizard's son Frank, and Glinda's daughter Andrea.
* The upcoming ''AvatarTheLegendOfKorra'' will feature Tenzin, the son of Aang and Katara from the first series, as the Airbending mentor to his father's latest incarnation.

!!Film (Animated)
* Several {{Disney}} sequels:
** ''TheLittleMermaid II: Return to the Sea'' follows the adventure of Ariel and Eric's daughter, Melody.
** ''TheLionKing 2: Simba's Pride'' follows Simba and Nala's daughter Kiara.
** ''LadyAndTheTramp 2'' follows son Scamp, but mostly ignores his sisters. Of course, this is pretty much what the [[{{Scamp}} comics made before the movie]] did, too.
** ''[[Disney/PeterPan Return to Neverland]]'' follows Wendy's daughter.
* The 1980 animated movie ''A Snow White Christmas'' stars the daughter of King Charming and Queen Snow, also named Snow White, who's on the run from the wicked queen (who has returned and turned her parents to ice) and is rescued by seven ''giants''.

!!Film (Live Action)
* The 2000 ''{{Shaft}}'' stars SamuelLJackson as the nephew of the original, played by Richard Roundtree who makes a cameo appearance.
* The ''AirBud'' movies transitioned into this with ''Air Buddies'' which focuses on the sports-playing Golden Retriever's puppies. The sequel ''Space Buddies'' is the puppies [[RecycledINSPACE IN SPACE]]!
* ''AceVentura Jr.'' A horrible idea, further plagued by the fact it is a sequel to a JimCarrey movie(s) that doesn't have Jim Carrey in it ''and'' is a sequel to a franchise that is more or less two decades old.
** On a similar note, see also 1993's ''Son of the PinkPanther''.
* ''TheFly II'' focuses on Brundle's son.

!!Anime and Manga
* The Japanese have done a few anime series about the fictional descendants of TheShinsengumi, including ''Tobe! Isami'' (''Soar High! Isami'') and ''Kidou Shinsengumi Moeyo Ken''.
* Japan does this a lot, actually. For example, [=~JoJo's Bizarre Adventure~=] has a different "[=JoJo=]" for each arc, but most/all are blood relatives one way or another.
** Giorno gets the most distant relations to any other, infact his father side of his family is downright screwed up, but regardless he bears the birthmark.
* The title character of ''LupinIII'', as well as Goemon. And [[InspectorZenigata Koichi Zenigata]]. And Ganimard III. And Lawrence III of Arabia. And...
** Lesser known is ''Lupin VIII'', a 1982 series centering on Lupin III's descendant five generations down the line. It never got broadcast due to the estate of Maurice '[=LeBlanc=] (creator of the original ArseneLupin) wanted more money than the producers were willing to pay.
* While Chibiusa is always a main character on ''SailorMoon'', a later one-shot manga story, deliberately set in an alternate universe and timeline, starred the children of the Guardian Senshi, plus a brand new younger sibling to Chibiusa by the name of Kousagi. Almost all of the kids had the [[IdenticalGrandson same names and appearances as their parents]] except for Kousagi, who actually looked like her own character.
** The manga had numerous one-shot Chibiusa stories that ran in a separate magazine.
* The anime ''FinalFantasy: Legend of the Crystals'' was based on the world of ''FinalFantasyV'' and starred one of Bartz' descendants. Presumably the "Queen Lenna of Tycoon" is also a descendant of the original Lenna, though she's just a supporting character.
* ''MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha [=ViVid=]''. A SpinOff of ''Nanoha'' (yes, a SpinOff of a SpinOff) starring Nanoha's adopted daughter, Vivio.
* ''DragonBallZ'' was [[YourMilageMayVary ostensibly]] supposed to be this, but [[ExecutiveMeddling popular demand just didn't allow Toriyama to keep Goku out of it.]]
* ''KinnikumanNisei'' is about Kinniku Mantaro, the son of the original {{Kinnikuman}}.

!!Comic Books
* ''SpiderGirl'' and the majority of the teen hero characters from MarvelComics' MC-2 lineup.
* In another example from MarvelComics, four of the YoungAvengers are children of former Avengers members. A fifth is the grandson of the ''first'' Captain America.
* OlderThanTheyThink: TheGreenHornet was, believe it or not, originally introduced as TheLoneRanger's great-nephew.
** Not all that unbelievable; the Hornet and the Ranger were both created by George W. Trendle and Fran Striker as broadcast content for Trendle's Detroit radio station, WXYZ. The relationship isn't that well known, though, since it wasn't referred to that often in the Hornet's series, and in the 1950s Trendle sold the rights to TheLoneRanger to another company, which prevented the relationship from being explicitly mentioned in any subsequent GreenHornet shows or other adaptations.
** Similar example, although it's more of an AllThereInTheManual than something explicitly stated: [[CommanderKeen Billy Blaze]] is the grandson of [[Wolfenstein3D B.J. Blazkowicz]], with a more Anglicized last name.
* The original ''Infinity Inc'' was about the kids of the JusticeSocietyOfAmerica.
* MarvelComics wanted to do a spinoff of Comicbook/{{The Avengers}} for a DVD. Instead of using the popular ''YoungAvengers'' franchise because characters were linked to controversial topics like drug-abuse, rape, and homosexuality, they made ''Avengers Next'', which is essentially "Avengers Babies" with 8-year old children of the Avengers having adventures. No, really.
* The short lived incarnation of the Seven Soldiers of Victory in GrantMorrison's ''SevenSoldiers'' #0 included the Whip III, granddaughter of the Whip II (a NewOldWest {{Zorro}} wannabe) and great-great-granddaughter of the Whip I (an [[{{Western}} Old West]] Zorro wannabe); I, Spyder, son of the original [=7SoV=] member (and traitor) Alias the Spider; and Gimmix, daughter of Merry the Gimmick Girl and, therefore, neice of the first Star-Spangled Kid, who was also an original [=7SoV=] member. In ''SevenSoldiers'' #1, the Bulleteer turns out to be directly descended from [[spoiler: Aurakles, the world's first superhero.]]

!!Video Games

!!Multiple Media
* Slight variation in the ''GalaxyAngel'' SeriesFranchise: because the original Angels were, of course, the stars of a [[Game/GalaxyAngel dating sim]] and {{bishoujo}} series, it would be a little offputting if they were all shown married with kids. Instead, in ''Galaxy Angel II'' and ''GalaxyAngelRune'', they have spinoff counterparts with other connections, ranging from Milfeulle's kid sister to Forte's combat protege. Vanilla actually ''does'' have a kid, but she's adopted.
* The 1987 ''{{Dragnet}}'' film features DanAykroyd as the nephew of Jack Webb's Joe Friday from the radio and TV series ([[NamesTheSame with the same name]]). Interestingly, Harry Morgan reprises his original role as Bill Gannon in the film, now as a captain.

!!Fan Works
* [[http://percyjacksonfanfiction.wikia.com/wiki/Whispers_in_the_Dark Whispers in the Dark]], a popular PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians fanfiction, is about the daughter of Thalia and Luke.
* ''UndocumentedFeatures'': The high school students introduced in the ''Symphony of the Sword'' series include the children of some members of the [[SelfInsertFic Wedge Defense Force]], many of whom are around the same age due to Ragnarok triggering a baby boom.
* The sequel to ''[[http://www.rogermwilcox.name/ADnD The Intercontinental Union of Disgusting Characters]]'' is called ''The Sick Kids''. Guess who gets the spotlight!

* ''TheLegendOfZelda'' has different incarnations of the same characters, and eventually explains it by making them each other's descendants (or ancestors.) [[IncestIsRelative This explains why only one pair of incarnations is a couple...]] Also often a GenerationXerox, and not just Link and Zelda being the same: some side-characters reappear and have the same roles.
* There was a series on the table that would have featured the nephew of ''MacGyver.'' Good thing they didn't go through with it, though, as [[DidNotDoTheResearch Angus was an only child]].
* A go-to trope for many of AnneMcCaffrey's 21st century books. (Particularly the {{Petaybee}} and Talents series.)
* Once the staple of the ''{{Xanth}}'' series: The original central character, Bink, was supplanted by his son, Dor, who was supplanted by ''his'' kids, daughter Ivy and son Dolph.
** Unfortunately, due to the abundance of anti-aging magic in the Xanthverse, ''all'' these characters are still alive -- as well as their kids, grandkids, and great, great grandkids. Meaning, well, [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters you know...]]
* Originally, the cast of ''{{Lunar}} 2'' were going to be the kids of the couples from the first game. This idea was nixed and the plot set [[{{Exty Years From Now}} 1000 years later]], this does explain why everyone is pretty much a 50/50 mix of the previous crew.
** One of the party members, Lemina, actually ''is'' the descendant of Mia from the original ''{{Lunar}}'', and bears some striking resemblances to her physically.
* ''Sons of the Oak'', a {{continuation}} of David Farland's ''The Runelords [[strike:Trilogy]] Saga'' that focuses upon the son of the Earth King battling an [[BigBad even bigger Bad]].
* Slight variation in the ''GalaxyAngel'' SeriesFranchise: because the original Angels were, of course, the stars of a [[GalaxyAngelGameVerse dating sim]] and {{bishoujo}} series, it would be a little offputting if they were all shown married with kids. Instead, in ''Galaxy Angel II'' and ''GalaxyAngelRune'', they have spinoff counterparts with other connections, ranging from Milfeulle's kid sister to Forte's combat protege.

* The original ''Infinity Inc'' was about the kids of the JusticeSocietyOfAmerica.
* The second and third books in the ''OldKingdom'' trilogy mostly concern Sabriel and Touchstone's children.

* The 2000 ''{{Shaft}}'' stars SamuelLJackson as the nephew of the original, played by Richard Roundtree who makes a cameo appearance.
* Susan Sto Helit, star of several ''{{Discworld}}'' novels, is the daughter of Mort, star of the book of the same name. Quite how old that makes Rincewind and Granny Weatherwax is unclear. [[AWizardDidIt Blame the History Monks]].
* The ''Air Bud'' movies transitioned into this with ''Air Buddies'' which focuses on the sports-playing Golden Retriever's puppies. The sequel ''Space Buddies'' is the puppies [[RecycledINSPACE IN SPACE]]!

* ''Savage Sam: Son of OldYeller'' follows the journey of Travis and [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Savage Sam, the son of Old Yeller]] to rescue Little Arliss and Elizabeth Circe from Indians.

* ''{{Tales of Destiny}} 2'' is about Kyle, the son of the two main characters from the first game, but aside from him, that's pretty much it.
* ''FireEmblem'' played around with this on occasion. The fourth game, ''Genealogy of the Holy War'', had the main characters at the start of the game die off halfway through and be replaced with their children. Many (though not all) of the characters in ''The Sealed Sword'' were the children of characters in ''The Blazing Blade'', which would be a straight example if not for the fact that ''Sealed Sword'' was made first. (A couple of characters from ''Sealed Sword'' were the parents of characters in ''Blazing Blade'', and [[BadassGrandpa grandparents]] of other characters in ''Sealed Sword''. Still doesn't work because the game that came out first takes place later.)
* ''Ace Ventura Jr''. A horrible idea, further plagued by the fact it is a sequel to a Jim Carrey movie(s) that doesn't have Jim Carrey in it ''and'' is a sequel to a franchise that is more or less two decades old.
** On which note, see also 1993's ''Son of the PinkPanther''.
* ''MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha [=ViVid=]''. A SpinOff of ''Nanoha'' (yes, a SpinOff of a SpinOff) starring Nanoha's adopted daughter, Vivio.
* Marvel comics wanted to do a spinoff of the Avengers for a DVD. Instead of using the popular ''YoungAvengers'' franchise because characters were linked to controversial topics like drug-abuse, rape, and homosexuality, they made ''Avengers Next''. Which is essentially "Avengers Babies" with 8-year old children of the Avengers having adventures. No, really.
* ''The Oz Kids'', which starred Dorothy's children Dot and Neddy, the Tin Boy, Scarecrow Jr., Jack Pumpkinhead Jr., the Cowardly Lion's cubs Boris and Bela, the Wizard's son Frank, and Glinda's daughter Andrea.

* ''FinalFantasyIVTheAfterYears'', starring the son of Cecil and Rosa, the main characters of ''FinalFantasyIV''. There's also the daughter of [[BareFistedMonk Yang]] and Sheila joining in.
* The short lived incarnation of the Seven Soldiers of Victory in GrantMorrison's ''SevenSoldiers'' #0 included the Whip III, granddaughter of the Whip II (a NewOldWest {{Zorro}} wannabe) and great-great-granddaughter of the Whip I (an [[{{Western}} Old West]] Zorro wannabe); I, Spyder, son of the original [=7SoV=] member (and traitor) Alias the Spider; and Gimmix, daughter of Merry the Gimmick Girl and, therefore, neice of the first Star-Spangled Kid, who was also an original [=7SoV=] member. In ''SevenSoldiers'' #1, the Bulleteer turns out to be directly descended from [[spoiler: Aurakles, the world's first superhero.]]
* The ''MrDriller'' series stars Susumu Hori, who is the son of ''DigDug''s Taizo Hori and of Kissy from the little-known ''Baraduke''. Both father and son have made appearances in each other's games since the first ''MrDriller'' game.
* This is basically the premise of the entire {{Redwall}} series. There's a strong continuity spanning ''centuries'' of family lines that seem to have a propensity toward getting wrapped up in epic conflicts every couple decades or so.
* A fair number of the later-set ''StarWarsExpandedUniverse'' novels, although for the most part their parents are there with them. ''StarWarsLegacy'' is almost entirely populated by new characters and the descendants of the old heroes.
* The player character of ''{{Fallout}}'' 2 is a direct descendant of the player character in the original game.
* At least some of the player characters in the upcoming ''GoldenSun'' game for the DS are apparently the descendants of the player characters from the original GBA games. Due to the series' [[{{Understatement}} extensively developed]] {{Shipping}} community, along with the equally awe-inspiring ShipToShipCombat, this may have some interesting results in the fandom if/when specific lineage is clarified.
* The fairly mental Amiga/Atari ST game ''Wizkid'' was a sequel to ''Wizball'', and Wizkid was, unsurprisingly, Wizball's son.

* The second trilogy in ''KushielsLegacy'' follows Phedre's adopted son, Imriel.
* [[http://percyjacksonfanfiction.wikia.com/wiki/Whispers_in_the_Dark Whispers in the Dark]], a popular PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians fanfiction, is about the daughter of Thalia and Luke.
* Dragonball Z was [[YourMilageMayVary ostensibly]] supposed to be this, but [[ExecutiveMeddling popular demand just didn't allow Toriyama to keep Goku out of it.]]
* ''{{Okamiden}}'' features Kuninushi, the son of ''{{Okami}}''[='=]s Susano and Kushi, teaming up with a wolf puppy with similar powers to ''{{Okami}}''[='=]s protagonist Amaterasu. Whether or not Chibi is Ammy's child or something else entirely has yet to be revealed.
* ''UndocumentedFeatures'': The high school students introduced in the ''Symphony of the Sword'' series include the children of some members of the [[SelfInsertFic Wedge Defense Force]], many of whom are around the same age due to Ragnarok triggering a baby boom.

* The upcoming ''AvatarTheLegendOfKorra'' will feature Tenzin, the son of Aang and Katara from the first series, as the Airbending mentor to his father's latest incarnation.

* ''Second-Stage {{Lensmen}}'' ends with Kim Kinnison and Clarissa [=MacDougal=] getting married. In the next novel, their children go on to become the most powerful beings in the universe.

* KingsQuest: while Graham hasn't exactly retired from adventuring, the third, fourth, sixth, and seventh games followed [[UntoUsASonAndDaughterAreBorn his kids]].
* The main characters of UmlautHouse 2 are mostly the kids and students of the characters from the first comic. Two of whom, Volair and Saundra's son Pierce and Jake and Rick's daughter Rhonda, were actually introduced [[KidFromTheFuture a year before "1" ended.]]

<<|JustForPun|>>

* ''SpiderGirl'' and the majority of the teen hero characters from MarvelComics' M2 lineup.

* The upcoming ''AvatarTheLegendOfKorra'' will feature Tenzin, the son of Aang and Katara from the first series.

* ''TheAdventuresOfShirleyHolmes'' (SherlockHolmes' great-grandniece).

** ''Lady and the Tramp 2'' follows son Scamp, but mostly ignores his sisters. Of course, this is pretty much what the [[{{Scamp}} comics made before the movie]] did, too.

* ''HarvestMoon DS'' and it's DistaffCounterpart take place 100 years after ''A Wonderful Life'' and ''Friends Of Mineral Town''. Everyone is an [[IdenticalGrandson Identical Grandchild]] and the valley folk fall in love with the [[ReincarnationRomance same people]]. The only differences are their depth, some look changes, and their names in Japan.
