Star Wars: series (2 Episodes so far, 2015/2017)
Note: the original Star Wars was a standalone feature and while it established much of the Star Wars "mythology" it had a clear conclusion and ending, so is not technically part of the ongoing "continuing story" which began with The Empire Strikes Back. Empire, however, while it ended on a cliffhanger, was technically part 1 of a 2-part sequel which also came to a clear conclusion. While out-of-continuity prequels and other standalone features have also been made, The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi appear to be segments in a new ongoing story to be presented in sequence, with cliffhangers, and therefore qualify as the first two episodes in a new Star Wars universe serial.
