1. sequel

   A cataclysm or catastrophe is some great convulsion or momentous event that may or may not be a cause of misery to man. In calamity, or disaster, the thought of human suffering is always present. It has been held by many geologists that numerous catastrophes or cataclysms antedated the existence of man. In literature, the final event of a drama is the catastrophe, or denouement. Misfortune ordinarily suggests less of suddenness and violence than calamity or disaster, and is especially applied to that which is lingering or enduring in its effects. In history, the end of every great war or the fall of a nation is a catastrophe, tho it may not be a calamity. Yet such an event, if not a calamity to the race, will always involve much individual disaster and misfortune. Pestilence is a calamity; a defeat in battle, a shipwreck, or a failure in business is a disaster; sickness or loss of property is a misfortune; failure to meet a friend is a mischance; the breaking of a teacup is a mishap.

   Synonyms:
   calamity, cataclysm, catastrophe, denouement, disaster, mischance, misfortune, mishap

   Antonyms:
   benefit, blessing, boon, comfort, favor, help, pleasure, privilege, prosperity, success

   Preposition:

   For years and years people were saying will there be a sequel, please write a sequel, tell us what happened, and I always said I can't do that, but then a couple of things happened. Instead of going away from Gilead as I thought had been happening in the 1990s, we started going back towards Gilead in a number of places in the world including United States.

   When ('Zoolander') came out, not everybody saw it. It was, a little bit, I guess, out there. And somehow it got discovered over the years, which has been great, we didn't ever think we were actually going to do a sequel and then the last few years the momentum started building and now all the pieces came together.

5. Liane Moriarty:

   I've never written a sequel for any of my books, so my first reaction was that there should not be a season two, i always tend to think I've put my poor characters through enough ! Having said that, season one was so fantastic and I do understand the desire not to let these characters go.
