I think in general "here's a new concept that we'll cover from scratch"

is always a lot easier to execute than "here's a concept we've already covered, watch as we try to find new ways of approaching it that are just as if not more interesting than what you've already seen"

for one thing, it doesn't lend itself quite as well to beginning-middle-end as the first.

I guess you need to separate the story from the setting, so that you can tell an interesting story without having to rely so much on the establishment of a novel setting being what drives the entertainment. and I think probably hollywood relies a *lot* on "novel setting" as the driving force of most of their movies, rather than actually having interesting stories.
