The success of the films led to several spin-offs, including four Christmas television specials (1969–1973), a 1975 television series of 13 episodes and three West End stage shows that also toured the United Kingdom. In May 2016, producer Jonathan Sothcott of Hereford Films announced plans for a new series of Carry On films, beginning with Carry On Doctors and Carry On Campus. The production was abandoned when Dallas production company Lorimar Productions demanded a royalty fee of 20 times the total production budget.

The much earlier 1937 film Carry On London is also unrelated (though it coincidentally starred future Carry On performer Eric Barker). Carry On Spaceman (1961), scripted by Norman Hudis and planned to be released shortly after Carry On Regardless. It was to revolve around a hospital set for closure, and set to star original actors Barbara Windsor, Jack Douglas, Kenneth Williams, Charles Hawtrey, Kenneth Connor and Joan Sims, with Sims filling in the role of Matron that was previously held by Hattie Jacques.Carry On Sergeant (1958) is about a group of recruits doing National Service; its title, a command commonly issued by army officers to their sergeants in the course of their routine duties, was in keeping with its setting. Previously unreleased material includes No-Name Jam – a 1970 recording of Stills playing with Jimi Hendrix – and early demo versions of Forty-Nine Reasons, The Lee Shore, and Black Coral performed by CSNY (it was released in 1976 by Stills and Young as a duo). Danniella Westbrook, David Jason, Shaun Williamson and Burt Reynolds were also once attached to the project.

In early 2009, Carry On London or Carry On Bananas was once again 'back on', with Charlie Higson attached as director, and a different, more modern, cast list involving Paul O'Grady (as the acidic Kenneth Williamsesque character), Jynine James, Lenny Henry, Justin Lee Collins, Jennifer Ellison (as the saucy Barbara Windsor type), Liza Tarbuck (paralleling Hattie Jacques), Meera Syal, James Dreyfus, and Frank Skinner (filling in the Sid James role). Harry Enfield's mockumentary Norbert Smith: A Life (1989) includes a clip from an imagined film, Carry On Banging (a parody of the more risque approach of the later films, such as Carry On Dick and Carry On Emmannuelle).The setting is the Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp of the 1980s, and featured Barbara Windsor, Jack Douglas and Kenneth Connor. In his diaries Kenneth Williams lamented this, and criticised several of the movies despite his declared fondness for the series as a whole. A three-part television retrospective with the same title, narrated by Martin Clunes, was shown on ITV3 in the UK over Easter 2015.

Carry On Smoking (1961), revolving around a fire station and various attempts to train a bungling group of new recruits. Carry On Emmannuelle, inspired by the soft-porn Emmanuelle, brought to an end the original Carry On run. However, by the late 1960s, at the height of the series' success, more ambitious plots occasionally necessitated locations further afield, which included Snowdonia National Park, Wales (with the foot of Snowdon standing in for the Khyber Pass in Carry On Up the Khyber), and the beaches of the Sussex coast doubling as Saharan sand dunes in Follow That Camel. A script was written and casting offers made to Williams, Connor, Douglas, Sims, Windsor, Hawtrey and Dale.Clips from several Carry On films are used in In The Movies It Doesn't Hurt (1975), a short film on laboratory safety for schools starring Bernard Bresslaw. Since 2013, StudioCanal has released a number of the Carry On films on Blu-ray, beginning with Carry On Screaming! The humour of Carry On was in the British comic tradition of music hall and bawdy seaside postcards.
