The film's later popularity led to a long-running franchise comprising six direct-to-video sequels—Tremors 2: Aftershocks (1996), Tremors 3: Back to Perfection (2001), Tremors 4: The Legend Begins (2004), Tremors 5: Bloodlines (2015), Tremors: A Cold Day in Hell (2018), and Tremors: Shrieker Island (2020)—and a television series (2003), with Gross serving as the franchise's mainstay. A TV series reboot of Tremors starring Bacon did not go beyond the pilot stage. In 2025, Underwood, Maddock, and Wilson regained the rights to the original Tremors script and began discussing a new sequel that would return to Perfection.
