X (film series)

A film series, also known as a movie franchise, is a collection of related films in succession, sharing the same fictional world, characters, or storyline. These films are typically produced by the same studio or production company and are designed to be viewed in a specific order to understand the overall narrative. Film series can vary in length, ranging from trilogies (three films) to much larger, ongoing franchises with numerous installments.

Key characteristics of a film series include:

• Continuity: Maintaining a consistent narrative and character development across multiple films.
• Recurring Characters: Featuring the same core characters in each installment.
• Shared Setting: Taking place within the same fictional universe or environment.
• Overarching Plot: Contributing to a larger, ongoing storyline that unfolds over multiple films.
• Commercial Success: Aiming to generate revenue through multiple film releases and merchandise.

Film series can explore a single storyline in detail, expand upon established lore and characters, or introduce new storylines that complement the original narrative. The success of a film series often relies on its ability to attract and retain a loyal fanbase who are invested in the characters and the overall world. Common genres for film series include science fiction, fantasy, action, and horror, although film series can exist in virtually any genre.
