Doctor Who had that gap between 1989 and 2005, I realize that 16 years isn't 34 (85 to 2019) but it's still significant enough to serve as a decent example. Except 13 Ghosts is only a small portion of a franchise which was left open on a cliff hanger. You also need to remember Scooby had a similar gap in the 90's between Pup and Zombi Island but Pup/Zombi Island were more like reboots to write out the Scrappy shows.
