The sequel, ''[[The New Land (1972 film)|The New Land]]'' (''Nybyggarna''), was released in 1972. The 1974 U.S. television series ''[[The New Land (TV series)|The New Land]]'' is based loosely on both ''The Emigrants'' and its sequel.{{sfn|Brooks|Marsh|1995|p=738}} The creation of the TV series can be attributed to the popularity of the films.<ref name="Rafferty">{{cite web |url=https://www.criterion.com/current/posts/3899-the-emigrants-the-new-land-homelands |title=The Emigrants/The New Land: Homelands |last=Rafferty |first=Terrence |date=9 February 2016 |access-date=27 November 2016|work=[[The Criterion Collection]]}}</ref> In Sweden, the musical ''[[Kristina från Duvemåla]]'' by [[Björn Ulvaeus]] and [[Benny Andersson]], formerly of [[ABBA]] fame, was designed partly in reaction to Troell's films, particularly in differences in the set.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.dn.se/kultur-noje/scenrecensioner/goteborgsoperan-kristina-fran-duvemala/ |title=Göteborgsoperan: 'Kristina från Duvemåla' |last=Nyström |first=Martin |date=27 October 2014 |access-date=28 November 2016|work=[[Dagens Nyheter]]}}</ref> Troell also gave his approval to [[Daniel Espinosa]] to make a new ''Emigrants'' film adaptation in 2015,<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.dn.se/kultur-noje/film-tv/svenska-storfilmer-presenterades-i-cannes/ |title=Svenska storfilmer presenterades i Cannes |last=Lindblad |first=Helena |date=16 May 2015 |access-date=28 November 2016|work=[[Dagens Nyheter]]}}</ref> which was ultimately not produced.

The two films were considered to give [[Jan Troell]] his "international breakthrough".{{sfn|Lunde|2015|p=232}} They led to his receiving, and accepting, an offer from [[Warner Bros.]] to make ''[[Zandy's Bride]]'', one of the first times a prominent Swedish director moved to Hollywood since the 1920s.{{sfn|Lunde|2015|p=232}}
