Revival (television)
In television, a revival is a
cancellation
.
Definition
Unlike spin-offs, in which a television network creates an entirely new series around an existing character or
story arcs that the original run failed to complete, as opposed to a sequel that may introduce a new storyline with some of the same characters after the previous series' story ended. Revivals usually take place at some point after the original series ends. By contrast, reboots and remakes may feature many of the original characters differently, but are usually played by new cast members and without taking into account events or continuity that occurred during the original series.[2]
