I think that may be the case for continuing series even among folks who don't normally reread. If there is a long enough delay between installments, going back and rereading may be required to refresh your memory on the world, the characters, and the events.
I anticipate a marathon re-read session some time down the road when Brian Sanderson completes the unfinished last book of the Wheel of Time series.
