Possibly, but not without resistance. Anytime something is successful, both the publisher and the audience will demand more of the same. Your best bet is to do some genre-blending in a way that brings something old and something new at the same time. For instance, if your first book is romantic-drama, your second could be action-drama. People will stick with you if it was the shared elements that brought them to your book in the first place.
Harry Potter is a good example. Several of the books have different genre elements --middle-grade mystery in one, action adventure in another, war novel in a third --but the overall series stays grounded around YA fantasy.
