Buzzword term

Meaning: an officially-recgonised continuaton series utilising either the 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 usually produced by the same production company / team responsible for the originating series.
