rehash

Normal People actor Éanna Hardwicke has said he doesn't want a sequel to the hit TV series, as he's "not a fan of rehashing things".

As journalist Max Read pointed out recently, Musk's project isn't "like" Gamergate, but "straightforwardly is Gamergate, composed of many of the exact same people" rehashing the same unjustified grievances.

Mrs Perry's sister, Prof Julia Waters, said she was concerned the new system would be "a rehash of the discredited and dangerous system it is meant to replace".

I try to avoid projects that tell the same story over and over again, or rehash things just for the sake of it.

These stories also tend to be rehashed and retread because fame breeds fascination, of course, and name recognition helps when seeking the eyes and ears of an audience.
