The only one I can think of at the moment is the George Romero Dead series. You had remakes of Night and Dawn in 1990 and 2004 respectively and then Romero's actual series continued on with Land of the Dead in 2005.

I'm glad this is becoming a thing. The reason I really hated remakes was because they usually meant the death of the old series.
Has it been confirmed one way or another whether or not the Serkis Apes trilogy are prequels to the Heston original? Or are they just full-reboot? I like to view them as the former, either way.
Another sorta-example is Evil Dead, only it continued as a TV series.

Rise kind of left some room for you to imagine the original series fitting in, but that's pretty much obliterated in the two sequels. |

Does Amityville Horror count?

I haven't seen the original in a long time, so I am curious what the 2 sequels do that make it impossible for them to be at least half prequels to the original. I kind of thought of these movies like Star Trek (2009). Half prequels and half reboot. |

I kind of thought of these movies like Star Trek (2009). Half prequels and half reboot. Me too. I remember Heston's love interest from the original movie shows up as a little girl in War, which made me think they're still meant to be connected. And that's entirely possible since the original sequels to PotA deal with time travel as well. |

The sequels take all the characters you know from the Heston original (and the following film), re-imagines them and closes all of their respective arcs. By the time War wraps, the story is over. |

I mean, I guess you could do some serious mental gymnastics to try and make it all work, by why bother? The intention seems pretty clear that the new trilogy is its own thing.

Well, Heston's shuttle is still in space, and his love interest is still a child. Who am I forgetting? |

Sorry, I think we might be having two different conversations (and it's my fault for not reading a little more closely and not being a little clearer (I meant "and the following film s"). What I'm talking about is the original five films, not just the original. I think it's pretty clear that the new trilogy negates the original five films. But yes, I think they allow you to imagine the first film still happening in the new universe. |

Dammit, now I want to go back and re-watch all the old Apes films again.

To be fair though, the original feels like it takes place much longer in the future than 30 years later. I mean how long would it take for New York to be covered with sand 500 feet high? Seems more like 1000 years or more. |

But yeah, I meant it as just a prequel trilogy to the 68 movie alone. Though maybe you can look at the original sequels where they go back in time abd whatnot as creating a new timeline, like the Star Trek reboot did. |
