A [[Cut Short]] series is [[Uncanceled]] for one last episode (or [[The Movie]]) for the sake of resolving all the plot threads that were [[Left Hanging]].
 
Contrast [[Belated Happy Ending]] where a sequel makes something that ended have a happier ending.
 
Not to be confused with [[Distant Finale]], where the ending is set many years after the main action of the story, but the finale itself is part of the original work.
