Franchise element (6)

I believe the answer is:

sequel

(Other definitions for sequel that I've seen before include "Follow-on story" , "Something following an earlier event" , "Consequence" , "Story resumption" , "Novel or film that completes story of an earlier one" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
