NEW SERIES

A new series is a term used to refer to a publication or broadcast that is a continuation of a previous series, but with a new starting point. It is often abbreviated as N.S.

• The Harry Potter series has a new series called "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" which takes place 19 years after the events of the original series.
• The TV show "Doctor Who" has had multiple new series since its original run in the 1960s.

These examples illustrate how a new series can continue a story or concept from a previous series, but with a fresh starting point. In the case of "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child," the story takes place years after the original series ended, while "Doctor Who" has had multiple new series with different actors playing the lead role.
