A Series Fauxnale is an installment of a work that was originally planned to serve as its conclusion, but ultimately becomes known as just another (if particularly impressive) episode. Perhaps the creators were uncertain of the future, so they produce something that can quickly tie up the big loose ends in the event they aren't able to continue, but then they were told they could. Perhaps they actually did complete the Myth Arc and this was the Grand Finale they always planned, but the work's immense popularity has the powers that be demand for them to continue onward. Whatever the reason, a series finale of some kind was created, but the series went on after that, making that previous series finale a "fake" one. It is likely to have all the attributes of Stock Series Finales. The natural result of a Post-Script Season, though some shows last for many, many years thereafter. If the following years of the work are considered lackluster, there'll be more than a couple of fans that claim Fanon Discontinuity on it, and say that this was when it really ended. Can overlap with Status Quo Is God, Happy Ending Override, or (if done repeatedly) Yo Yo Plot Point if the new season, book, or film downplays, reverses, or just plain attempts to ignore anything done in the Series Fauxnale that would prevent the characters from engaging in their usual hijinxs. It's a highlight of the Layout of a Season, the kinda Strictly Formula structuring of a show's seasons. As this is an Ending Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware. |

Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) Issue 50, aptly titled "Endgame", certainly has that final issue feel to it — Dr. Robotnik was dead, Sally (who was thought to be dead) was alive, Sonic and Sally had the Big Damn Kiss and Relationship Upgrade, everyone was safe from Robotnik's tyranny and, if the series stopped there, things wouldn't have felt off. Of course, from the writers' perspective it likely was going to be the final issue since the two cartoon series the comic was based on were recently canceled and the general feeling was the comic was sure to follow, so why not end things with a bang? Of course, the sky-high sales of the last several issues thanks to said cancellations by fans wanting more Sonic meant Archie Comics wasn't going to put the golden goose on the chopping block just yet. In fact, it's the only reason Sally actually survived rather than being Killed Off for Real. | |

Pooh's Grand Adventure could have served as the finale to not only The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh but all Winnie the Pooh media altogether as it deals with Christopher Robin leaving the Hundred Acre Wood.

Dream SMP: The Disc War Finale and thus the end of the Disunion Era saw Dream stripped of his power, turned on by just about everyone on the server (except George and the Anarchists), and imprisoned in Pandora's Vault. The server celebrated the end of a tyrant, and everyone believed it was the end of the conflict (Tommy's stream was even titled the finale of the SMP). However, there are still several unresolved issues (the Anarchists and the Crimson Egg, among others), several unanswered questions (such as DreamXD and the End Portal), and that's not mentioning that Dream might not be down for good (as Wilbur's spirit warns Tommy that Dream is too dangerous to be left alive, not to mention that Dream still has his favor from Technoblade). It's fitting for what seems to be the Season 2 finale, but there's clearly still more to come. | |

The Harry Potter series was supposed to end definitively with Deathly Hallows. Then came a sequel, not in book form, but in theater: Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, a Spin-Offspring that deals with the aftermath of the "happy ending" of the last book, which turns out to be not that happy. And of course, there is no shortage of post-series supplementary materials churned out regularly by the author, many of which were released before Cursed Child was even a thing. | |

Deliberately invoked during The Death of Superman storyline. The last issue of the second arc, "Funeral for a Friend," ends with Superman's body being returned to its final resting place, Lois accepting that her fiancee is gone now, Luthor getting past being unable to be the one to kill Superman himself, and Jonathan Kent apparently succumbing to a grief-induced heart attack as the last page shows him flatlining. The title of the story was even called "The End," and both the title and issue credits came at the end of the comic, and the issue was filled with tons of Continuity Porn flashing back to key events from Superman comics since the Post-Crisis reboot began. After that all the main Superman books went on hiatus for a couple months, with only a few specials and one-shots getting published during that period, before the books finally came back and began the "Reign of the Supermen" arc. In reality, DC was never intending to end Superman for good, and only put the books on hold to help build up the hype for Superman's eventual return. | |

Supergirl (2005) has two false conclusions. Knowing he was being kicked out of the book, Sterling Gates used his final story arc Day of the Dollmaker to tie up most of his run's last ongoing subplots. By the end, Supergirl is an experienced super-hero who has greatly matured since her career's beginnings, has defeated most of her enemies and is presently happy with her life. You would be forgiven to think it was Post-Crisis Supergirl's final story, but her book went on for eight issues more. This is not my Life, the book's final arc, ends with Kara making several life-changing choices, and subtly asking the readers to not forget about her before the Supergirl (2011) reboot. | |

As it wasn't clear if Lucha Underground would get picked up for a second season, the first season ended with Femme Fatale Catrina, Wrestling Monster Mil Muertes, and Terrible Trio the Disciples of Death capturing most of the championships and taking control of the Temple, while Corrupt Corporate Executive Dario Cueto had to go on the run. | |

Phelous's Jacob's Ladder review, which sets up what seems to be Phelous's final death. His living room, usually covered in his toy collection slowly empties, and upon realizing he's pretty much gotten everyone he possibly can to cameo on his show already, he resorts to having his Real Life self cameo instead. By the end of the review, Phelous realizes that he's been dead since the Mac and Me review and exits his house, saying goodbye to his audience. Come the next review, Phelous comes back to life and continues to review things. Though, considering he no longer dies in his videos, the Jacob's Ladder review did serve as a finale of sorts. | |

The Mortal Instruments was supposed to end with the third book, City of Glass. Compared to later series finales, it doesn't have as many hanging plot threads, and could have served as a satisfiable finale. The second half of the series was originally conceived as a standalone spin-off centered on Simon Lewis. This is why the fourth book, City of Fallen Angels, puts so much focus on him, but the following two books don't. | |

South Park: Post Covid: The Return of Covid could be interpreted as a Grand Finale for South Park given that the kids are all grown up in the end with Stan, Kyle, Kenny, and even Butters getting a happy ending, while Cartman finally gets karma for all the bad stuff he's done. Except that South Park was renewed to 2027, with 12 more movies expected to come out on Paramount Plus and Season 25 premiering in February 2022. | |

The intended finale of Milligan's Shade, the Changing Man was supposed to be a Downer Ending, at the end of the "A Season In Hell" arc. Executive Meddling forced the creator's hand, and what followed may have made a better story under a different title (as Milligan probably intended.) | |

Zigzagged with Episode 60 of Dragon Ball Z Abridged. While it did seem like a finale, a teaser was present at the end for Season 4. However, the prospective fourth season wound up being cancelled due to creative fatigue and the belief that Episode 60 made an excellent Grand Finale. However, then came the spin-off show HFIL, an original plot that follows right after Episode 60, starring the now-dead Perfect Cell suffering punishment in Hell with the series' other villains. | |

Ultra Fast Pony's Season 1 finale, "The Longest Episode", plays out like an ending for the entire series. It ends with an oddly sincere Friendship Moment between the main cast, and is followed by a text "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue. Then the end credits are extended, with the series creator Wacarb thanking everyone who's helped or inspired him. However, in his notes on the video, Wacarb states that he fully intends to continue with a season two. Sure enough, the second season followed, a few months later. | |

All three arcs in the SMG4 Cosmology Lore saga could debatably qualify as this. The YouTube Arc contains countless references to past videos, has series Big Bad SMG3 serve as the Arc Villain, reveals why SMG3 hates SMG4 and ends off with SMG3 seemingly getting mauled to death by an Ugandan Knuckles. Not only would this not be the finale (as SMG3 is quickly revealed to still be alive), but it’d merely be the start of a three part saga. The Genesis Arc explains SMG4’s backstory, introduces the show’s Greater-Scope Villain, contains references to multiple past videos throughout, and ultimately ends off with the very first major character death from the main cast, with Axol. The ending also has Zero seemingly killed and the Guardian Pods being hidden by SMG1 and SMG2 to avoid any more evil finding them and using them for their goals. And to top everything off, two episodes in the arc (The Beginning of the End (which admittedly was renamed to The Day HE Arrived) and The Final Piece) would both work for a Grand Finale. The arc however would end up not being the end, and barely even a month after, the story continued. The Revelations Arc ties up all the loose ends left behind by the Genesis Arc, explaining SMG0’s backstory, revealing where the Internet Graveyard came from, introducing more concepts built off of the Genesis Arc, and ultimately concluding with Niles dead, the God Box destroyed and Melony having finally mastered her Deity powers. On top of this, the finale for the arc is a 50 minute Big Damn Movie, which would perfectly work for a Grand Finale. However, the show would keep going, with another arc coming the exact same year. |

Batman: After Bruce Wayne's apparent death in 2009, the character of Batman received his own finale with Whatever Happened to The Caped Crusader? – once again it was a two-part out-of-continuity story, with one part in the Batman comic and the other in Detective Comics. Both series then went on hiatus, replaced by the three-part miniseries Battle For the Cowl. Afterwards, both series then picked up right they'd left off, with Dick Grayson as the new Batman. Despite the Broken Base his run on Batman has attracted, some believe Tom King's stories have come the closest to chronicling the end of the Batman saga. In King's run, Bruce and Selina Kyle's relationship is well and truly solidified as a lifelong commitment despite several ups and downs, Alfred Pennyworth is brutishly murdered by Bane, who takes over Gotham City, leading to a final confrontation between his forces and the Bat/Cat pairing that also sees Bruce overcome the Flashpoint Batman variation of his own father. It all culminates in King's Batman/Catwoman series where Bruce and Selina finally tie the knot. Glimpses of their future throughout the run show Bruce ultimately dies peacefully in bed surrounded by his extended family, his wife, and his daughter, while a grieving Selina goes on to murder the Joker before ultimately being shot and killed in crime alley years later |

South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut was originally produced as the last hurrah, since Trey Parker doubted the franchise had much steam left in it and didn't think the movie would do well. This is why the ending plays out very much like a series finale, with nearly every single character who'd appeared in the series up to that point making a cameo in the crowd scene (and being featured on the poster). | |

The end of each story arc of Red vs. Blue, especially Episode 100, which actually served as a Grand Finale when it was released. Notably, it had multiple endings thanks to the magic of the internet, and wrapped up the five seasons of the Blood Gulch Chronicles and could easily have ended the series. The endings of Season 8, 10 and 13 are all deliberately poignant and could serve as series finales. | |

The Transformers (IDW) had a deliberate example. Issue 31 of the ongoing series is purposely written so that it can be used as the final issue for the entire IDW continuity. As such, exactly what's happened between the previous issues and Issue 31 is unclear. It takes place hundreds of years in the future, Ironhide and Alpha Trion are some of the few remaining members of the original Autobots, the Transformers live on Gorlam Prime instead of Cybertron, and Megatron and Optimus Prime have disappeared. This has since been Jossed; The Transformers: Dark Cybertron saw Gorlam Prime destroyed and left Ironhide concerned and suffered with depression that the happy ending he saw will not come to pass. The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye: Just in case editorial had the series cut short, the author James Roberts scripted a finale to conclude the series, but since he was given the go ahead for Season 2, this all got released during the season's second arc. It has all the signs of "finality" in it, as the mysteries set up in the very first issue of Season 1 (Brainstorm's briefcase, how the Sparkeater got into the ship, who sent the foreboding message from the future) are answered in a time travel plot that also details the start of the war (notably Megatron's birth), and we even learn how the ship the series takes place on, the Lost Light, was created. It also closes out the trilogy of Flashback arcs that were sporadically told throughout Roberts's and Costa's runs. |

Shrek Forever After was supposed to be the final Shrek film, but then it was followed by the Spin-Off movie Puss in Boots. There's since been talk of a Continuity Reboot for the franchise and Puss in Boots: The Last Wish ends on a Sequel Hook that heavily teases a return to Far Far Away, though as of 2024 it appears to be stuck in Development Hell. | |

I'm a Marvel... And I'm a DC: After ten years of Marvel and DC butting heads and comparing their movies, the failure of Justice League (2017) and the hype behind Avengers: Infinity War has pretty much made the DC heroes disillusioned as hell about their franchise and the vitriol their arguments set off. Fed up with how their cinematic universe has been mocked to hell and back, the DC heroes concede that Marvel has won the debate. Both sides shake hands and head out to see Infinity War as friends, with Spider-Man telling a customer that Stan's Bar is closed... Then Deadpool appears and reveals he's hatching a plan with Rorschach to get the heroes to complain about each other again. | |

Toy Story 3 was clearly meant to be the series finale. It takes place a full ten years after the first two films, is full of Call-Backs to the first two, ends with the grown-up Andy passing his toys on to another child, and has a shot of a cloud-filled sky as its final image, recreating the shot of Andy's sky-and-cloud wallpaper that opened the first film. But then came the announcement that Toy Story 4 was in the works. Lampshaded by Ducky and Bunny in the teaser reaction video. Then, after it seemed like 4 would be the final film, Toy Story 5 was announced in early 2023. | |

Mister Miracle (2017) is an interesting case in that while it ostensibly fits in with canon of the DCU and especially the New Gods mythos, it is a very self-contained story designed with finality in mind, shattering the status quo entirely by the end — Orion, Highfather, and Darkseid are all dead, the war on New Genesis and Apokolips begins to wane, Scott Free and Barda stay Happily Married and with children, etc.. However, the narrative itself makes it clear that whatever reality Scott and the series takes place in isn't real, implicitly because of some kind of Lotus-Eater Machine, but leaving specifcs up in the air, allowing the possibility for future writers of the character to pull him out and return him to the "real" DCU. The book itself is also seemingly aware of this, as evinced by Scott's final conversation with Oberon: | |

Although Hilda and the Mountain King adapts the Grand Finale of the graphic novel series and features an appropriate sense of conclusiveness for Hilda by ending with humans and trolls finally reconciling with one another, author and showrunner Luke Pearson stated a year before its release that he was interested in continuing the animated series past it. Sure enough, just a month before the film premiered, Silvergate Media confirmed that a third and final season was in production. | |

Sonic for Hire originally ended in 2013 after seven seasons. The series eventually got revived for an eighth season in 2019 after the rights to the show were given to Rooster Teeth following the abrupt shutdown of Machinima, where the series was originally uploaded at. And then around 2020, Lowbrow Studios, the actual creators of Sonic for Hire, got the rights to the show back and confirmed production of a ninth season. | |

Spider-Man: On one hand, it could be argued that the controversial One More Day served as the 'finale' to the original uninterrupted 1962-2007 continuity for the 616 variation of the wall-crawler, but many other fans argue the conclusion of Nick Spencer's run on the Amazing Spider-Man title is more fitting, as it addresses and resolves an entire Audience-Alienating Era of stories from the last decade, including the equally divisive Sins Past, Peter not only reconciles with the love of his life Mary Jane, but he also lets the Black Cat back into his confidence, his arch rival Norman Osborn is also cured of his sins and his true origins are revealed. The run ends with the tease that Peter and MJ's daughter will be the one to defeat the demon Mephisto, who had been responsible for the events of the last decade of (mis)adventures. Several of the popular alternative universe Spider-Man titles, such as ''Spider-Girl'', ''Renew Your Vows'' and the ''Amazing Spider-Man Newspaper Strip'' can be considered final endings for the character as he is able to live a content life with his wife Mary Jane Watson, while dealing with the pressures of more adult responsibilities such as raising children. The 2009 remake of the nefarious Clone Saga, The Real Clone Saga also works as an open-ended finale with almost everyone that was killed in the original saga surviving and Peter becoming a father. The mini-series The Lost Hunt, by J.M Dematteis, set in the time of the Clone Saga, where Peter is powerless following the events of The Final Adventure and Mary Jane is pregnant, is considered a potential candidate for a finale as Dematties admitted to a fan comment on his personal blog that he was treating the story like it were separate from the events that follow in 616 continuity, and that as far as he was concerned, Peter and MJ (and presumably Ben Reilly also) all get their happy endings Sinister 60th, by Dan Slott, appears to be this for his own take on the wall-crawler, set in a distant future where Peter is still web swinging well into his golden years and appears to have grown old with Mary Jane, who he's once again married to. End of the Spider-Verse, also by Slott, is one for the Spider-Verse saga. Here every single Spider in the multiverse find themselves under threat from the insect totem queen Shathra, forcing them to ally with their greatest nemesis Morlun, they all succeed in overcoming her in a gargantuan battle across New York City. The MC2 version of Spider-Girl is finally reunited with her father. Peter, cut off from the web of life and destiny, finds himself in a world where he may be crippled, but Uncle Ben is alive, he works for a sane Norman Osborn, he dates Liz Allan, and is Cindy Moon's tech-savy sidekick. Despite possessing no powers, plain ordinary Peter is ultimately the one to vanquish Shathra (with the aid of his equipment). Once the Status Quo Is God ending kicks in, Peter finds he is no longer the chosen one of the Spider-Verse, Cindy is. He decides to accept only the responsibility of protecting his own world. |

Epic Rap Battles of History: "Nice Peter vs EpicLLOYD 2" had so much Reality Subtext and so many personal potshots between the two that fans became genuinely concerned that the two had grown disillusioned with their baby and were calling it quits with this season finale, not helped by the ending directly implying that working on the series was causing rifts in their friendship and the realization of that convinces them to take a break. Thankfully, the hiatus seems to be just that and ERB came back swinging about two years later. | |

Queen's 1989 album The Miracle was made after Freddie Mercury's HIV/AIDS diagnosis, which he disclosed only to his family and bandmates. Since viable antiviral medications for HIV weren't available at the time, the virus was a functional death sentence, leading Freddie to record the album under the impression that it'd be his last with Queen. However, he was miraculously able to live long enough to record 1991's Innuendo, though only managed to record vocals for three songs on Made in Heaven before his passing in November 1991 (the rest were cobbled together from whatever the band had on-hand). | |

South Park: South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut was originally produced as the last hurrah, since Trey Parker doubted the franchise had much steam left in it and didn't think the movie would do well. This is why the ending plays out very much like a series finale, with nearly every single character who'd appeared in the series up to that point making a cameo in the crowd scene (and being featured on the poster). South Park: Post Covid: The Return of Covid could be interpreted as a Grand Finale for South Park given that the kids are all grown up in the end with Stan, Kyle, Kenny, and even Butters getting a happy ending, while Cartman finally gets karma for all the bad stuff he's done. Except that South Park was renewed to 2027, with 12 more movies expected to come out on Paramount Plus and Season 25 premiering in February 2022. |

Warrior Cats: The Last Hope was intended to be the finale of the series as a whole, with there being a large climatic battle sequence, cameos and appearances from many characters, and a new era of sorts for the Clans. While new books did get released, the next few were mostly prequels. However, the releases of Dovewing's Silence, Bramblestar's Storm, and then further arcs and side books quickly proved that the series wasn't going to end soon. | |

AJR invokes this with Neotheater, especially with the final track "Finale (Can't Wait To See What You Do Next)". Feeling that they've gone harder than they ever had, the brothers consider ending their careers on a high note and acknowledge the possibility that they have nothing left to offer for their listeners. However, a chorus of presumably fans, friends, and family urge them to not go and continue doing what they do, promising to support them in their future endeavors. Within the context of the song however, the band is still on the fence about following it up due to fears of Tough Act to Follow. Neotheater was indeed not their final album and OK Orchestra was announced for 2021. | |

However, in "The Review Must Go On", it was announced that the Critic would be coming back due to Doug coming up with more ideas to do with the character. The show also underwent a slight Retool to aid in relieving production stress; reviews were scaled back from weekly to bi-weekly, with editorials from the Critic filling the gaps. note Although Doug revealed in commentary and streams that Critic had to come back due to debt, and he's still working himself sick. | |

Though the localizers realized the game wasn't gonna end with him too late, the Ace Attorney series originally had the phocus, sorry, FOCUS, on Phoenix Wright. By the time the third instalment was brought to America for the Nintendo DS, however, a sequel was already in development. So however Phoenix's (and several supporting characters') story arcs came to a close, a bunch of them got a Happy Ending Override with Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney. Since then the Happy Ending Override itself got a an override, with two more sequels, a crossover, and two prequels set in ye olden Victorian times. | |

Back when the Mega Man Sprite Comic was just a series of Filler Strips, Bob and George ended the sprite comic in September 2000 by having Dr. Wily kidnap the Author and kill him, paving the way for the intended real comic (a hand-drawn one) to be launched the following month. After more than a week of the hand-drawn comic, the Author felt it wasn't working out, so he abruptly brought the sprite comic back for good and had the storyline be about the title characters stuck the Mega Man universe. | |

The Halloween Unspectacular series was supposed to end with the conclusion of its Myth Arc in its fifth volume in 2014, due to the author getting tired of coming up with new entries each year. This seemed to hold up as 2015 came and went with no sixth volume, only for said sixth volume to come out in 2016, kickstarting a new Myth Arc and effectively serving as a Continuity Reboot, all thanks to the author getting back into the swing of things. | |

The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye: Just in case editorial had the series cut short, the author James Roberts scripted a finale to conclude the series, but since he was given the go ahead for Season 2, this all got released during the season's second arc. It has all the signs of "finality" in it, as the mysteries set up in the very first issue of Season 1 (Brainstorm's briefcase, how the Sparkeater got into the ship, who sent the foreboding message from the future) are answered in a time travel plot that also details the start of the war (notably Megatron's birth), and we even learn how the ship the series takes place on, the Lost Light, was created. It also closes out the trilogy of Flashback arcs that were sporadically told throughout Roberts's and Costa's runs. | |

Sara Shepard's Pretty Little Liars series was originally intended to end after the eighth book, "Wanted", and the earliest editions advertise it as the final installment. It fully repairs the girls' friendship and wraps up their character arcs, albeit with a The End... Or Is It? ending. Then the series continues, and "Wanted" ends up only being the halfway point; we also get a prequel, an interquel, and eight more books, wherein there's some Happy Ending Override and Aesop Amnesia for the series to continue. "Vicious", the 16th main-line book, is the true finale, and likewise ends on a The End... Or Is It? note. | |

Transformers: The Transformers (Marvel) may have ended with Issue 75, which functioned as a Grand Finale: The Autobots and Decepticons unite to save Cybertron from Unicron, resulting in a large battle in which several people are killed (including commanders Optimus Prime and Scorponok) but the Transformers emerge triumphant. The title ran for another five issues, during which Optimus Prime was resurrected. The title was originally planned as a four-part miniseries, with Issue 4 (actually entitled "The Last Stand") ending with all the Decepticons collapsing after their fuel is poisoned. Two endings were prepared: One had Optimus Prime making a speech declaring the end of the war but the one used had new Big Bad Shockwave suddenly appearing and gunning down the remaining Autobots. |

Bathory intended for their final album to be 1991's Twilight of the Gods. Perhaps an example of where this shines best is the final listed track Hammerheart, which reads out like a man's final speech on his deathbed, using the more solemn, calm tune of Thaxted with an orchestra, rather than the more metal-oriented sound of the rest of the album, and the only instance of a guitar is in the ending line. It also hints at Quorthon's (the sole member for most of the band's history) heart condition. After some years, though, in 1994, they would release their next album, Requiem. Sadly inverted, as while working on the third of four planned albums in his Nordland saga, Quorthon died of this same heart condition in 2004 at the age of 38. |

The Alex Rider series ended pretty conclusively in Scorpia Rising, with Alex losing Jack, the closest thing he had to a living parental figure and moving to America, seemingly done with adventuring for good. To drive the point home, the next book was a prequel. Then Horowitz decided to continue the series anyway. By the end of Never Say Die, Jack has turned out to be alive after all and Alex is back in England, the status quo restored. | |
