That all depends on the orbit and how everything synchs up.

Now when you have a supernova--you lose mass. There may be a black hole with an infinitely steep gravity well left behind--but the overall gravity is less with the blow out--so the planets farther out should be cast into the outer darkness.

Rogue worlds may be more common than previously thought.

To be on a rogue planet would be only slightly less depressing that being on a system planet around a rogue star... something comforting about having a neighborhood besides the dark void.
