Ring was originally a novel written by Koji Suzuki; its sequel, Rasen (a.k.a. Spiral), was also adapted into a film as the sequel to Ring. Due to the poor response to Rasen, Ring 2 was made as a new sequel to Ring. However it was not based on Suzuki's works, thus it ultimately ignores the story of Rasen.
Ring 2 takes place a couple of weeks after the first film, directly continuing the story and features most of the cast from Ring reprising their roles.
