The term "interquel" refers to a film or other creative work that takes place in the same fictional universe as two or more previous works, but is set between them chronologically. Some synonyms for "interquel" include "prequel-sequel," "midquel," "between-quel," and "in-between-quel." A prequel-sequel is a story that both precedes and follows the events of earlier works. A midquel takes place during a gap between earlier works, while a between-quel refers to any story that takes place between two other works. Finally, an in-between-quel refers to a narrative that bridges two earlier stories, providing important context or closure to the overarching plot.
