Sometimes, a work becomes a surprise success and various imitators are made in its wake, usually by different creators. But on a few occasion, the same creators (or at least, the parent company) will make something that appears to be a transparent ripoff of their own success. This is different from Spiritual Successor in that the series are usually made in the same time period and that there is no reason the newer product couldn't have used the same license as the older work.

There are many reasons for this. It may because of the executive's belief that lazily changing the setting will in itself attract more viewers, milking a cash cow without making it seem too obvious or simply an author being unable to shake off his Signature Style. A lot of what's on Recycled in Space is an example of this. Compare and contrast Expy (which is when an author recycle one or more characters but not the rest of the story), Signature Style, Follow the Leader, Better by a Different Name and Spiritual Licensee.
