Yes, it is often used to describe the next installation, episode, or follow-up in a series. We use this term especially when describing movies, television, or books. To use it in a sentence, you can say "[X] is the sequel to [Y]." Ex: I have pre-ordered the Harry Potter sequel. Ex: I heard they are making a sequel to Parasite!
