8 TV Spinoffs That Completely Broke The Original Show’s Timeline

While most TV spinoffs build on the plots of their predecessors, some stray so far from their original show’s story that they completely break their canon.

After all, all spinoffs need to both continue the story of their original show while simultaneously fleshing out new characters and expanding the world of the series. This is often challenging, and TV spinoffs can sometimes understandably end up contradicting their predecessors from time to time. However, the extent of their canon changes usually isn’t too dramatic, and typically these alterations aren’t enough to annoy viewers.
