I'm thinking something like the Xfiles if they discovered who was behind the scenes (Aliens, illuminati, big business etc) and took the fight to them?
Has a TV show ever evolved into a new one?

Re: Has a TV show ever evolved into a new one?
What, no mention of the X Files Spinoff for The Lone Gunmen?
Breaking Bad > Saul
Happy Days > Laverne and Shirley > Mork and Mindy
Chicago Fire > Chicago everything else
before we get into a list of the dozens of spinoff shows,
I wonder if the OP isn't really asking 'has a show ever answered its fundamental question and then moved on to do something else.'

Say Xfiles had resolved it core question and changed from seeking out "what was in the files" to using the files to fight back

Re: Has a TV show ever evolved into a new one?
I think months later I have an actual answer to this question:
I binged Crazy Ex Girlfriend. Coming to it so late, and watching it all, I feel like it started with a great idea about an adult woman following a teen crush to the other side of the USA. It was awkward and funny and she was constantly embarrassing herself in the effort to hide her reason for moving to the 'ex's town. Plus songs.
Then they did different romantic interests and kept the ball going for two more seasons until she sort of swore to take a step back.
Which brings us to season 4, the one that is on right now. The lead character has no pressing romantic interests, no embarrassing conflicts. She's sort of coasting through a dead span of life.
The show seems unrecognizable to me.
So maybe retooling to the point of changing the premise isn't such a hot idea.
I don't know if anyone else is watching? It feels like Crazy E-G has added four Cousin Olivers, some of whom vanish after one ep.
