Franchise?

Hi,

I read some news on the net about my favorite series and I don't quite understand the word "franchise":

The "Universe" pickup ensures the continuation of the popular "Stargate" franchise, which has been on the air in various incarnations since 1997

Could someone help to explain?

Hi Vecta. Welcome to EF. Franchise is an authorization granted by a government or company to an individual or group enabling them to carry out specified commercial activities, for example acting as an agent for a company's products.
