Series fiction refers to a group of independently published works of fiction that are related to one another, usually through similar elements of setting (often, characters). A very common example of series fiction is a book series.

Many of these series books may be published in a numbered series. Examples of such series are works like The Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, and Nick Carter.
