Framhaldi

Framhaldi is an Icelandic noun meaning continuation or sequel. It is used to refer to the next installment in a narrative or the next phase in a process, rather than a standalone work.

In literature and publishing, framhaldi typically denotes a follow-up book or volume that continues the story, themes, or world established in an earlier entry. In film and television, the term corresponds to what English speakers call a sequel or a later episode that advances an overarching arc. In comics and periodicals, framhaldi describes subsequent issues or volumes released after an initial entry. The word also appears in broadcasting and media discussions to describe ongoing series or recurring installments that extend a program’s storyline.

Beyond media, framhaldi can be used in contexts such as project management, product development, or research to indicate later phases, iterations, or updates that follow an initial release. The concept emphasizes continuity and connection to prior parts rather than presenting a wholly standalone piece.
