	~~A '''spin-off''' is a buzzword for an officially-recognized continuation series utilizing either some or all of the original cast of a series~~ and~~/or using the same premise and/or set in the same town / country / universe as television series already (or recently) on-air.~~

	Spin-offs are frequently financially driven by the success of a parent series, and extend the marketable life of the series to the point of becoming a [[w:List of sagas\|saga]] that spawns a series [[w:franchise\|franchise]].

	~~Spin-offs are commonly produced by the same production company / team responsible for the originating series. Spin-offs can generate spin-offs of their own.~~

	~~Spin-offs can be set in contemporary time relative to its parent, or occur before or after the events of the parent show.~~

	While spin-offs on TV in recent history are commonly science-fiction related, writers such as [[w:Norman Lear\|Norman Lear]], [[w:Aaron Spelling\|Aaron Spelling]] and [[w:Garry Marshall\|Garry Marshall]] dominated spin-off efforts in the 1970s and 1980s of American television.

	~~==Examples==~~
	*''The Jeffersons'', spun from ''[[w:All in the Family\|All in the Family]]''
	*''Stargate Atlantis'', spun from ''[[w:Stargate SG-1\|Stargate SG-1]]'', spun from the motion picture, ''[[w:Stargate (film)\|Stargate]]''
	*''Star Trek: Voyager'', spun from ''Star Trek Deep Space Nine'', spun from ''Star Trek: The Next Generation'', spun from the original ''[[w:Star Trek: The Original Series\|Star Trek]]'' series, which spun ''[[w:Star Trek: Enterprise\|Star Trek: Enterprise]]'', set 100 years prior to the parent show
	*''[[w:Crusade (TV series)\|Crusade]]'', spun from ''[[w:Babylon 5\|Babylon 5]]''
	*''[[w:Torchwood\|Torchwood]]'', ''[[w:The Sarah Jane Adventures\|The Sarah Jane Adventures]]'', and ''[[w:K-9 and Company\|K-9 and Company]]'' are spin-offs from the long-running ''[[w:Doctor Who\|Doctor Who]]''.
	*''[[Caprica (series)\|Caprica]]'' a proposed spin-off of the [[Re-imagined Series]], depicts life over 52 years prior to the Re-imagined Series
	*''[[Galactica 1980]]'', spun from [[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)\|the 1978 ''Battlestar Galactica'']]

	The [[Re-imagined Series]] is, as its name suggests, not a spin-off but a [[re-imagining]] that draws elements from a previous show but does not continue the original show's characterizations or storylines.

	In contrast, a [[continuation]] is a form of spin-off that occurs after a series has ceased production for some time, which usually resumes the original storylines and characters. A fictional example of this would be in the film [[w:Galaxy Quest\|Galaxy Quest]].
