Babylon 5 creator/writer/producer J. Michael Straczynski was a close friend of Harlan Ellison.
JMS decided to play a joke on Harlan when they were both attending a SF convention.
He knew Harlan never did any kind of sequels to any of his writings, ever!
So at the convention JMS announced to the audience that they were going to do a sequel to Ellison's Outer Limits episode Demon With a Glass Hand on Babylon 5.
It was to be called Demon On the Run and pick up on the Trent characters many years after The Outer lLmits episode as he arrives on B5.
With a grin, JMS looked over to his friend Harlan who was sitting nearby and enjoyed the look of open mouthed astonishment on Harlan's face.
Thing is, it actually sounded like it could've been a very cool sequel if it was for real.
