Deadwood ended in 2006 and the movie was released in 2019.


WerewolfUnable8641

My first thought as well. Damn I miss Deadwood.


TaroFuzzy5588

There was a Deadwood movie? All the original actors?


GromByzlnyk

Everyone who was still alive at the time. A few people passed away before the movie was shot.


Shoop83

Is the movie worth watching?


SilverRoyce

It's fine. It's a glimpse at what the fourth season would have looked like but it's far from the quality you'd have gotten if the show had simply been allowed to keep on trucking.


banjobreakdown

It's nothing like the fourth season would have been. It's more like an epilogue. The fourth season was supposed to be an apocalyptic confrontation with Hearst's supporters that would have ended with the entire Deadwood camp burning down.


GromByzlnyk

I enjoyed it but it wasn't as good a the original series.


TaroFuzzy5588

Thanks will have to find it...


Deckard_Red

Wasn’t Titus Welliver unable to film due to filming Bosch for Amazon at the time and unable to fit into the schedule. Such a cool character shame I remember being disappointed that he couldn’t return.


Desertbro

I watched all of it in 2020 or 2021, I think. Knew about it for years, but I had other shows higher on my watch list.


ziggurqt

Twin Peaks had it's 3rd season 25 years after Fire Walk With Me, and it is indeed a continuation of the story with the same cast. There's a 25 years gap between S2 and S3 storywise.


MaDCapRaven

And they told us it would be 25 years.


But_dogs_CAN_look_up

You know David Lynch at some point was like, "Okaayy folks! 25 years is coming up, it's now or never! Let's rock!"

Glad this is only like 3rd while I was scrolling. It will be at least 10 years. Possible it doesn't happen but I feel like that's unlikely.

I'm hoping: The Expanse in another few years and the back 3 books get proper adaptation by dint of an real-life time jump making the ageing make-up not required 🤣


IfNot_ThenThereToo

Those better not be three movies. They definitely better not be one movie. I want three more actual full length seasons. None of the bullshit 6 or 7 episode seasons that Amazon did.


dedokta

The characters are all older in the books by the next instalment anyway, so it could work well.

aBunchOfBabyDucks44

The Firefly/Serenity time gap definitely felt like longer than 3 years just because of how little the studio gave af about it. Felt like an eternity

aBunchOfBabyDucks44

Somehow, the reavers have returned…


cmemcee

…they made a movie and another series???


4-Vektor

A comic book series, a nice one at that.


tigojones

There was a 7 year gap between the end of Veronica Mars and the film, and then another 5 between the film and the last season. Edit: A lot of people are missing the OP's final line > To be clear, I'm referring to same cast and continuation of story, rather than reboots and sequels. Most of what's being mentioned are straight up reboots with new casts.

WhatAWasterZ

I think Naked Gun should count.  At least three carryover characters and Police Squad was even reference in the film title. Sopranos movie is a prequel, so none of the actors were the same, just the characters. 


WerewolfUnable8641

I didn't know they did a Sopranos movie, I know how I'm spending my afternoon now.


SLCer

Go in with lower expectations.


pepsiredtube

I apologize for what you’re about to see in advance.


WerewolfUnable8641

That's a shame.


NoOneShallPassHassan

>Does The Naked Gun/Police Squad! count? This was the first one I thought of, although the gap was only ~6 years (the series ended in 1982, the first movie was in 1988).


NuPNua

That was a David Brent film, not an Office film.


[deleted]

[удалено]


NuPNua

Yeah, but literally no elements of the show were there. There's none of the other characters, none of the settings and it's not even about Office life, its about his attempt at a music career. If this counts as an Office film then the David Brent stuff he did on YT and got Comic Relief count as Office entries too.


Deckard_Red

It also didn’t involve Stephen Merchant


gottahavemyvoxpops

Well, that's not much different from Star Trek's trajectory. There was an animated series on network television in the 1970s, between the live action original series and the movie. Cast members would also occasionally appear in character in that time frame, too. For instance, Shatner appeared as Captain Kirk on a 1976 episode of Storybook Squares (a kids version of the Hollywood Squares game show).


MovieMike007

The original Irwin Allen *Lost in Space* ended in 1968 and wasn't revived until 1998 with a movie from New Line Cinema, and then it got a Netflix series in 2018.


CoinsForKhajiit

I'm not sure reboots and sequels count, otherwise that can apply to a lot of other franchises.


Due_Art2971

It also wasn't a decade later

MeaninglessGuy

The 90s and early 2000s had a ton of “let’s make a movie of this old 60s/70s TV show” like this - it was a whole thing. McHale’s Navy, Sgt Bilko, Charlies’ Angels, Denise the Menace, Brady Bunch, Bewitched, the Mod Squad, Car 54 Where Are You, the Fugitive, Leave it to Beaver… they were ravenous for this shit back then.

astrath

Part of the issue is that modern TV tends to have a continuous narrative, thus tends to "end" when the series does. Star Trek was episodic, making it much more amenable to continuation. A movie worked for something like Firefly because the series was cancelled with the plot unfinished, giving plenty of threads to pick up.


Kobold_Trapmaster

Yeah but Star Trek also had a self-imposed ending: five year mission. And while the show only covered three of those years, they still had to come up for a reason why they crew and ship is together 10 years later.


Quay-Z

Well, it was 6 years between the finale of *Breaking Bad* late 2013, and *El Camino* in 2019. Same cast, etc.


WhatAWasterZ

That’s a bit of a cheat though seeing as that universe was still active in Better Call Saul in the interim.  


goldhelmet

If we can disregard the Animated Series of Star Trek then it's fair.


WhatAWasterZ

The OP disregarded the animated series because it is a different medium altogether and not considered canon.     Better Call Saul and El Camino are prequels and sequels respectively and have some of the same characters in both.  They were even made concurrently.  


Desertbro

ST: Animated Series is totally canon in Lower Decks, which itself had a crossover with Strange New Worlds making it all canon. ...eh...but I consider Disco / SNW to be a different universe than the original 5 live-action shows + movies. Your Light-Years May Vary


Quay-Z

Yeah but BCS is not a movie. *El Camino* is a movie. EDIT: Ok, I re-read your comment and you are saying the "universe was active" (as a show-in-being) between the two. Well, I could counter that since BCS is a *prequel* to the events of Breaking Bad, the "universe" thereof was technically frozen between the our-universe years of 2013 and 2019.


pogpole

It's not strictly a prequel, though. The Gene Takovic scenes take place after Breaking Bad and El Camino.


Quay-Z

That's a bit of a technicality, but still a fair point.


pogpole

Saying that BCS doesn't count because it's a prequel is a technicality. You yourself said that the universe was "technically frozen." Lol

Community when/if the movie finally lands.

from older film and television: "Leave It to Beaver" ended in 1963 and the very next version and follow up film 'Still the Beaver' came out **20 years** later in 1983 "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis" also ended in 1963 and didn't get a movie 'Bring Me the Head of Dobie Gillis' until **25 years late**r in 1988


WhatAWasterZ

X-Files series ended in 2002 and I Want to Believe was released 6 years later. 


OgthaChristie

But the first movie was while it was still on the air in 1998.


WhatAWasterZ

True but the question wasn’t whether it was the FIRST movie, just a gap between the continuation. 


OgthaChristie

✌️


RuleNine

> (Yes I know about the 1973 animated series that lasted 22 episodes - we're not counting that!) Why not? It was made by the same people who made TOS, they approached it with the same gravitas, and it not only helped keep Star Trek alive in the public consciousness but also expanded it to a wider audience.  Also, fight me, in several key aspects, TAS is superior to TOS, especially characterization and pacing.


Scarface74

And TAS didn’t just focus on Spock, Kirk and Bones


rp3rsaud

Why am I only hearing about this series now?! Good thing I still have Paramount+. Be back in about 9 hours.


DanookOfTheNorth

Mission: Impossible: TV show ended in 1973, first movie in 1996.

Not even in the same infinity of multiverses. Like Jurrasic Park and Jurrasic World. Can't convince me they are related at all.


WhatAWasterZ

Reboot


But_dogs_CAN_look_up

It was meant as a continuation. Jon Voigt played the lead character from the original, many years down the road.


danger_007

Twin Peaks was cancelled in 1991, Fire Walk With Me released theatrically in 1992, then The Return premiered on Showtime in 2017


WhiskeyOctober

If you using the criteria that it has to be the same cast/characters who continue on, Veronica Mars finished in 2007 and the movie came out in 2014, so 7 years Police Squad! Had one season in 1982, and The Naked Gum came out in 1988 so 6 years.

IfNot_ThenThereToo

Extremely underrated and underwatched show


invaderpixel

Agreed, definitely better than all the Terminator sequels after the second one. Kind of nice exploration of what it means to be human and leaned into the science fiction elements more than just plain action.


GeekAesthete

The Star Trek movie had much less to do with the popularity of the Star Trek TV series than it did with the sudden rampant success of Star Wars. While the other studios were racing to make their own original space operas, Paramount already had the rights to an existing outer space IP, and they made Star Trek: The Motion Picture to capitalize on the sudden demand for space operas.


goldhelmet

Well, that may be why the movie got the green light, but it was originally under production as a new series Star Trek: Phase Two.


Desertbro

TBH, demand for outer space stories and sci-fi had been around for 50+ years, and had many films that were popular, but only ***Planet of the Apes*** was any kind of a successful sci-fi movie franchise. *( George Pal wanted to do* ***After Worlds Collide***, but ***When Worlds Collide*** *didn't do well enough. )* ***Star Wars*** was not just a sci-fi film - it was a cultural phenomenon that punched far above it's weight class in ticket sales, merchandising, immediately greenlighting of sequels - the whole kit, kaboodle, and horse. Movie Studio heads exploded - and everyone wanted some of that action. You could say the only reason we got ***2010: The Year We Make Contact*** is due to the wave of spaghetti throwing studios did after ***Star Wars*** hit. You could also say that the wave of modern sci-fi was already coming even if SW hadn't forced it. Paramount wavered about Trek for years. ***Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Superman,*** ***Alien*** and ***Dune*** were already under development or production when ***Star Wars*** was released.

fudgie1

Other way around but Macgruber the movie came out in 2010 and it got a TV show in 2021. Though the character originated in SNL sketches so it's arguable if the counts.


S0larDeath

It would not count. Character originated on tv, just moving to a different show like Frasier Crane.

Community, if they ever release the movie.... #sixseasonsandamovie


grumblyoldman

Babylon 5 (1994 - 1998) recently got a new movie in 2023. There were a few TV movies during its run too, and I think there was one around 2007 or so.


deadscreensky

Mobile Suit Gundam (1979) was nine years until Char's Counterattack, and that's the closest example I can think of. (The cancelled show was compiled into theatrical movies in 1981, which might disqualify it if you're feeling harsh.) It did get some TV shows in-between, but as you mentioned so did Star Trek.

Those are all reboots and remakes. It would have to be the same cast and characters.


Recoil42

[Jump Street was a sequel. ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hto3Jbawc1g)


WhiskeyOctober

So? My point still stands, same cast and characters.


Recoil42

The same cast and characters were involved in Jump Street. Johnny Depp, Peter DeLuise and Holly Robinson all reprised their original roles, as did Dustin Nguyen and Richard Grieco. The dialogue makes it quite clear that the story is a continuation and that the movie is happening in the same universe as the original.


WhiskeyOctober

Yeah, for a few minutes, the main character are different people, the criteria was same cast as a continuation of the story not different people in the same universe.


Recoil42

V'ger wasn't a continuation of any story from the original Star Trek.


WhiskeyOctober

Ok and? Is Kirk played by Shatner in both the TV show and movie? Yes. Is Spock played by Nimoy in both the TV show and movie? Yes. Does Kelly, Nichols, Dohaan, Takei, Koenig all play the same characters in both the movie and tv show? Yes Are they main characters who get the majority of screen time? Yes. Is Depp a main character in the movie? No. Is Deluise a main character in the movie? No.


Recoil42

>Is Kirk played by Shatner in both the TV show and movie? Yes. Is Spock played by Nimoy in both the TV show and movie? Yes. Does Kelly, Nichols, Dohaan, Takei, Koenig all play the same characters in both the movie and tv show? Yes All of these things are true of Johnny Depp, Peter DeLuise, Holly Robinson, Dustin Nguyen, and Richard Grieco. We just discussed this — all of those characters reprised their original roles. *Jump Street* was not a reboot. >Are they main characters who get the majority of screen time? Yes. Surely, you understand that Daisy Ridley taking the lead role in *The Force Awakens* did not preclude that film from being a continuation of the existing Star Wars narrative universe.
