What is a "prequel"?
A prequel is a work of fiction, such as a film, book, or TV show, that takes place before the events of an existing story. It provides background information and explores the origins or earlier events leading up to the main story. Prequels are often created to expand on characters, settings, or plotlines that are introduced in the original work, offering audiences a deeper understanding of the story’s universe.
