quadrilogy
Quartet of works
A quadrilogy is a series of four related works—novels, films, albums, or other creative productions that form a connected sequence.
The term follows the pattern of trilogy but substitutes the Greek root for four: The Alien quadrilogy includes all four original films.
Some prefer tetralogy, which uses consistent Greek roots, but quadrilogy has gained currency despite its hybrid Latin-Greek construction.
