- Informal sequel
An informal sequel, also called an unauthorized sequel or unofficial sequel, is a
sequel to a film, movie, novel, television show, or video game that is produced without the consent of the creators or rights owners of the original material. Today, informal sequels have become a staple theme offan fiction writings on the internet.Producing informal sequels to works that have passed into the
public domain is common, as the former copyright holders of the original work cannot bring legal action regardingcopyright infringement against the creator(s) of the informal sequel. Many informal sequels to public domain works, such asH. G. Wells 's 1895 novel "The Time Machine " andGeorge A. Romero 's "Night of the Living Dead ", have been produced. Informal sequels to works still under copyright sometimes change the names of the characters and settings to avoid legal action.Various informal sequels
