Replaying Heretic last week was a lot of fun. The sequels to Heretic are a bit unclear. There is officially Hexen: Beyond Heretic and then Hexen II which takes the game in a much darker fantasy direction. Heretic II (1998) is also often referred to as a sequel but in reality is an entirely different third person action game. Fans love it and detest it in equal measure, I personally just wish the rest of the world had as much Gothic grottos as we got from Raven Software. Perhaps one day someone will make a proper modern remake.

A lot of retro gamers seem to be under the impression that the sequels to Heretic are all fairly straightforward. In fact, there are really three games here: Hexen: Beyond Heretic (1995) and its sequel, Hexen II (1997) — both of which are basically spin-offs of the original, with new heroes and an increased focus on puzzles in the case of the first, and full-on 3D action in the style of later Quake games for the second. And then there’s Heretic II (2000), which is (almost solitarily, among its peers) a third-person adventure that feels like a completely different franchise to Heretic and its several offspring. All three games, however, are excellent examples of the atmospheric first-person shooter genre, and it’s easy to throw them all down the ejector seat for a weekend’s gaming fun.

Ever since I managed to get my hands on my old CD for “Heretic” I’ve been doing some reading up on the game’s legacy. The sequels to “Heretic” are “Hexen: Beyond Heretic” and “Hexen II” and essentially they are darker, meatier versions of the original with much more lore to the world of the game as well as much more difficult and creepy bosses. There’s also “Heretic II” which is an oddball third-person Isometric POV game that even to this day causes a large divide in the fans of the series. My personal favorite in the Heretic-series of games is “Hexen” due to the very dark, very twisted and very, very long and winding levels that snaked about in very unique and moody ways. I wish Raven Software would make a new game set in this very dark world.

Oh, ‘Heretic’! A true old school FPS that still gives me goose bumps after all these years. The game was written by Raven Software and had a direct sequel in ‘Hexen: Beyond Heretic’. The sequel increased the depth of the Heretic universe and shifted the focus towards a darker, more hardcore, more RPG like setting. Much later another sequel ‘Hexen II’ followed, switching to a fully 3D game engine and much more lore.

I really love where they took the series, and of course a special place in my heart for Hexen, as it continued to bring the fast action of Heretic while greatly increasing the story and RPG elements. There is even an unofficial fan made Heretic II mod floating about on the net, but I think you’d enjoy Hexen so much that you’d leave this to return to another time with more nightmares for the old friend.

You’re referring to Heretic, right? Specifically, the really creepy hallway sequences, armed with nothing but a staff? I played this game late at night when it first came out, and scared the living heck out of myself, many times. Note that the official sequel to Heretic is Hexen: Beyond Heretic, which rebrands the series with much more magic (read: spells). The game has many more classes, and a variety of different paths, kind of like a pre-Dark Souls game. Later on, the game was ported to full 3D as Hexen II. However, the pixelated levels and view of the original game still strike much more fear in me than the fully realized sequel. So, if you’re into retro shooters, you really oughta play this series of games.

Is there a sequel after Onyx Storm? Spoilers included.

I did NOT just get emotionally manipulated by that ending. Without giving too much away, Kaelen’s arc is definitely left open to possibility for a sequel. I’ve been trying to search for any bits of info about a potential sequel online. There’s a fan-run wiki for the Storm series that contains interviews with the author, and I found a link to a virtual con panel interview with him from a few weeks ago. It seems like he’s still hard at work writing the continuation of the Storm saga, and I predict an announcement for the first book of the sequel series will be made late this year with a spring 2025 publication date. Too many plot threads were left dangling for my taste.

Does 'You Again' have a sequel or spin-off?

8 Answers2025-06-28
No. I'm good with that. The movie exists and is fun to watch. So, there is no need for the movie to be expanded. Not every story needs to be developed into a long, sprawling film. The need for more in our culture is exhausting. Let this fun and simple comedy be what it is: a short and sweet film that is a complete package in and of itself. It is a complete film, in the sense that you get to see it, laugh at it, and feel good about it. And sometimes that is enough. You don’t need to be sat down and forced to think about other films in order to get the most out of it. It is a cinematic snack. Most people go to the cinema to see films as ‘snacks’ rather than as seven-course meals. You don’t need a sequel to your bag of chips.

Does the book Jezebel have a sequel or related series?

2 Answers2025-07-20
Unfortunately, there is no sequel to ‘Jezebel’. The author’s genius in creating the work of “Jezebel” lies in leaving many, many questions unanswered. Any sequel would serve to ruin that work, which is intended to haunt its readers long after finishing the book. In interviews, the author has repeatedly stated that ‘Jezebel’ is a standalone work. While he admits he loves how his fans imagine the scenes not depicted in the book to continue the stories of the characters left untreated in the end, officially the story ends where it should: with the reader staring at the ceiling of their bedroom, replaying scenes from the book in their head. On Tumblr, there are many headcanons of what might have happened to the characters who were not fully developed in the end.

Does and then there were none 2015 have a sequel?

Mystery drama fan that I am, I can confirm that there is no sequel to the phenomenal miniseries ‘And Then There Were None’ (2015). The BBC series remains a wonderful adaptation of the Agatha Christie novel, with no loose ends left for a sequel. Viewers can look to other adaptations of the author’s works, such as ‘The Witness for the Prosecution’ or ‘Ordeal by Innocence’ for more of the same dark, suspenseful atmosphere. If you enjoyed the claustrophobic setting and suspense of ‘And Then There Were None’ then you may enjoy more stories set in isolated locations with a similar atmosphere to the above, such as ‘The Haunting of Hill House’ or ‘Sharp Objects’. However, neither of these are based on Agatha Christie’s work. I wouldn’t really want a sequel to this and think that it is a complete and satisfying story in itself. The mystery was enough for me to wonder what had happened and sometimes that is even better left to one’s imagination.

Are there any sequels to novel rebecca?

Wait, you guys are sleeping on Rebecca's Tale by Sally Beauman. Yeah, it's not a direct "what happened next" to Maxim and the narrator, but it's way more interesting imo. It's set 20 years later and is basically a mystery about Rebecca's past, with multiple POVs, including her actual diary. The du Maurier estate even approved it. It paints Rebecca in a totally different, more sympathetic light, which du Maurier herself said she never intended to do... but I kinda love it? It's messy and revisionist, but it answers way more of the "key mysteries" than Hill's book ever did.

Does 'Heartless' have a sequel or spin-off?

11 Answers2025-06-26
Why do sequels exist? I just want to be able to read a completed story. I feel like ‘Heartless’ completed the story it wanted to tell, and then there would be no point for a sequel to exist. It would probably just rehash old situations and introduce even more conflict in order to water down the message that was already clearly portrayed. I like that the ending is left up to interpretation and allows people to use their imaginations and come up with their own interpretations of what could happen next. Sometimes the best fan theories and headcanons are even better than the actual sequel.

Is there a sequel to 'Secret Class'?

9 Answers2025-06-28
I really hope not. I got to enjoy the drama and all the "education" behind the story just like every other reader, but like I said before, the story has reached its end. You don't have to create a franchise with every successful series. That author should use his or her talent for art and storytelling for a new, completely different series with brand new characters. Rehashing the same dynamics of previous characters would get stale very fast. The initial premise of the series was very charming and had a lot of potential in how far it could be stretched. But in the end, there's only so far you can go before you start crossing lines that you don't want to cross. And once you've crossed those lines, where do you go from there? More secrets? More characters? It'd just be another way for the author to try to make some more cash off of the series. And I'm pretty sure most fans would be able to tell when they're being ripped off. Just let it be a very memorable, very controversial, but complete work.

Does 'The Alpha’s Bride' have a sequel?

12 Answers2026-05-23
yes that would be nice, but I guess we will just have to wait for that as the main couple cant even have a normal conversation without this intense yearning going on. A sequel would probably just be them staring at each other for 300 pages with the rest of the pack rolling their eyes at them. I would read it though. No. The author has probably gone off to write another new magical creature novel (this time with dragons instead of xainos). That’s just the way web novels work – we become attached to the characters and then they are completed and we beg the author for more, but he or she has moved on to something else.

Are there any sequels to the precious novel?

5 Answers2025-04-18
Although there is no sequel to Precious, the novel ends on a very high note. The other works by this author are not connected to Precious, yet the novels deal with issues of trying to overcome many obstacles, finally achieving success. People who enjoyed reading Precious will likely enjoy other works by this author. These novels carry the same message and power that made Precious so incredible and are therefore worth reading if you are searching for more novels that carry the same message and have the same effect on readers.

Are there any sequels planned for Jackerman?

4 Answers2026-07-04
We don’t have any word on this yet, but the fandom is hard at work speculating. Someone pointed out that last month there was a trademark filing for 'Jackerman: Reborn', but it’s probably just a working title. I’ll just listen to the OST for now and speculate as to where the story could go from here.
