The expanse (the novels). Time jumps in sci-fi are hard to do right. The show had the good sense to end it before the time jump, but they still had to put in admiral Duterte and MCR II (Laconia) in the final season with little to no follow-up because that was in the books
I know it will probably never happen but I find it fun to think they could do a time jump IRL, do a new season after years so everyone is literally older
Without adding any details, the last three jump ~30, ~5, and ~1. The thirty makes the world-building they wanted to do more sensible, and underlines that this is the start of something pretty different and final, but contrary to @nxfsi, I think it was handled fairly well.
I was confused as hell and then I realized you were talking about a different series.
Yeah, Dune series is insane. Tho, only God Emperor got that absurd time jump (3500 years with the prequel and 1500 years with the sequel). The other parts only got a few decades at most in between.
The games Nier Replicant and Nier Automata got about nine thousand years between each other.

How many years was the jump?

Between book 6 and 7 is 28 years.
Haven’t read The Expanse, but I know a lot of people who read Dune bailed when God Emperor jumped ahead over three thousand years.

WHAT NINE THOUSAND!?!
Yes. Nier Replicant got prologue set in the year 2050s, and the main part in 3400s. Nier Automata is set on 12000s.
Ah. I was trying to make an over 9000 meme reference.
