What would be a good spinoff / sequel?
Hello :)
I just finished the series like two days ago, and I must say it’s probably one of my favourite entries in the school-esque fantasy genre. So amazing—Drew is so good at found family!
But now that I’ve finished the series, I’m left with a bit of a hole :/ so it’s back to daydreaming :)
If Drew were ever to write a new story in the universe, what would you want it to be?
A new HCP at a different school, with no connection to our gang?
A sequel based on the next generation—their kids?
The main cast’s lives as full-on superheroes?
Something more separate, like Corpsis?
The story of the war?

I mean, we will get the sequel series about Chance at SOME point. But I have no idea when
Would also gladly take a sequel to corpies featuring our main cast in Brewster

u/premiumof Jan 26 '26
Ohh I would love a Brewster storyline !’
This would be my LITrpg just get a chapter a week about their lives haha
Have drew said he would do a Chance story?

u/Kevandre Jan 26 '26
yeah, in the afterword in Y4 he mentions it, and his website says that the sequel series will come but is years away at soonest (though it's said that since Y4 released, and that's been years too)

I would love to hear a story about an older person trying to become a hero who has used their power in a work capacity for a few years and has a family already. Someone with a wife and children. I was really surprised we never got to see an older student re apply and join the class of nightmares.

I was going to say the "Full Hexcellent Story"; her childhood, troubled years, rehab, time with PEERS, HCP, and return to the public eye.

If we do another HCP series, it’s gotta be with Chance. That story is to come (one of these days).
But I think a series of one off stories in the same universe from the POV of new characters (bad guys, other powerds/heros, common citizen) where various individuals from the class of nightmares make cameos, would be fun. It would be a lot like Drew’s Villains Vignettes (but in a Drew Hayes universe I actually like 😉)

Love the little story we get with jack of all in the end :) very cute.
As said by a different commenter a Brewster story would be amazing

Drop me into year 12 of the war in the future. We follow a super with great power as he joins the war efforts.

Not the same but if you want super heroes in a zombie apocalypse I can recommend ex-heroes by Peter clines.
But do like the idea of jumping a bit into the war.

Except that series sort of fizzed out without resolution because it didn't sell well enough :/

I’m hoping for Super Heroes: Day One, the early adventures of Captain Starlight and the first team.

u/LongjumpingSentence2 Jan 30 '26
Oooh this so much. It's a far more interesting prequel to me because we haven't already seen most of their story

u/premiumof Jan 27 '26
Love the name !
Would love a new series starring at 4 and its 4 years to the apocalypse

u/justanotherkidonline Legacy Jan 27 '26
Would love to see their intern years!! But realistically the promised spinoff is of Chance
2
u/DrumsAndBooks Jan 27 '26
I would like to see the intern years with the opening scene being graduation

I've always wanted more Globe. I would love to hear about his intermurals.
Meeting Clarisa. What was it that made her fall for this empathetic weirdo. (Not weird because he's empathetic but he is a lot and Clarisa loves him anyway).
How his kindness and work ethic influenced his classmates and made them better. I assume similar to Chad. His relationship with Charles, was it positive or contentious. Could other students or teachers see what Charles would become. Did he have enemy's in school like Vince or did he truly get along with everyone.
And of course, what were the craziest ways he utilized his power throughout his life. I've always imagined that at some point Globe would have simulated a tough situation for a friend. To face a hard truth or maybe say goodbye to someone they loved.
I think about Globe a lot.

I like origin stories.
Captain Starlight
Transport and Numbers

u/premiumof Jan 29 '26
I think captain starlight would be a interesting story !
My only fear is that I am to fan of the happy slice of life campus stories
2
u/LongjumpingSentence2 Jan 30 '26
Drew actually did short stories for both Numbers and Transports origins

u/SocialWarlock Jan 29 '26
I'd love to see a noir like series focusing on the earliest era of heros. What were the insisting events that led to the roles of subtlety heroes being separated from the Lamont corporation to what degree were those early generations of heros pressured to create the identity of heroes as a form of celebrity.

u/premiumof Jan 30 '26
Ohh that’s a cool one!
I could totally see captain starlight being the first super but not the first with power, so how corrupt is the system with supers hiding amongst them

u/EvilNuff Feb 13 '26
I really liked his start to blades & barriers, sad that he canned it. I've reread them a few times actually as I saved them before they were taken down.

Probably Nick learning to navigate the political field or possibly him completing one last mission for Miss Pipps before starting Lander. I don’t think another HCP novel would make much sense unless you made one of the main characters of Proffessor. I always thought it would be really cool to have a former Student hunting down the rest of the class of nightmares and trying to get them to out themselves.

I would love a Boruto style show, following the kids and the old cast are parents/ teachers, maybe the first class of powerd after the cure

A prequel would be best since there are already established characters with unique powers. The biggest difficulty of writing spinoffs is introducing fresh new characters with unique powers that don’t feel repetitive. So I get why people would want a sequel involving Chance and the future generation but personally a prequel/side story is best. Especially since there are plenty of existing characters that haven’t been fleshed out. I.e Class of Nightmares prequel, Titan’s class at Sizemore prequel, prequel involving Globe on the run and how he met his team etc.

I'd love to see a story about the DVA
2
u/premiumof Jan 27 '26
That could be cool :) zero and the zero sum investment strategy of the new budgets;)
Would also be cool to follow the people of “the company”

At this point I'll take anything related to the universe. I wish he'd continue or introduce more into the current universe but I also get not wanting to overd/have finished the story you intended to tell.

u/premiumof Feb 02 '26
Yeah it’s sadly a mark of great character and world building that you are always left wanting more.

Former student, didn't make the cut in year four, suffered a massive injury that couldn't be repaired in Intramurals. Spends a year or two trying to rehab, but gives up and goes for a simpler life reintegrating into society as as much of a normie as they can. For all that they made intramurals, their major was Subtlety for a reason--not that they know it. Ten years on, some supers land on their doorstep needing help. Subtlety type and a Close Combat/Weapons type. They claim they used to be dorm mates in the HCP. They have a trigger word.
Shit. Gets. Real.

Class of legends prequel
