Jay and Silent Bob
Although not direct sequels in terms of addressing the original film's storyline, characters from the original "Clerks" - primarily Jay and Silent Bob - appeared in the films "Mallrats" (1995), "Chasing Amy" (1997), "Dogma" (1999), "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back" (2001), and "Jay and Silent Bob Reboot (2019)," all of which take place in the same continuity as "Clerks". Dante and Randal also reprised their roles in "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back", which was originally promoted as the finale to the series, but an official sequel to "Clerks" was announced a few years later.
