    Show naming clarification for new seasons

    Do I have to worry about upcoming seasons or not?

    Hey everyone, I am currently trying to fully understand the syntax I am being recommended to use for Shows to help out Jellyfin in finding the titles
    https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/shows

    Shows
    ├── Series Name A (2010)
    │  ├── Season 00
    │  │  ├── Some Special.mkv
    │  │  ├── Series Name A S00E01.mkv
    │  │  └── Series Name A S00E02.mkv
    │  ├── Season 01
    │  │  ├── Series Name A S01E01-E02.mkv
    │  │  ├── Series Name A S01E03.mkv
    │  │  └── Series Name A S01E04.mkv
    │  └── Season 02
    │      ├── Series Name A S02E01.mkv
    │      ├── Series Name A S02E02.mkv
    │      ├── Series Name A S02E03 Part 1.mkv
    │      └── Series Name A S02E03 Part 2.mkv
    └── Series Name B (2018)
        ├── Season 01
        |  ├── Series Name B S01E01.mkv
        |  └── Series Name B S01E02.mkv
        └── Season 02
            ├── Series Name B S02E01-E02.mkv
            └── Series Name B S02E03.mkv

    There is one scenario I could not quite grasp/understand.
    Let's say for example a Show/"Series name" releases its first season in 2015, then other subsequent seasons come out in later years.
    Is it sufficient to keep the main directory (housing all seasons) named as "Series Name A (2015)" and then just add the seasons that come out simply as Season 01, Season 02, etc... regardless of what years those other seasons came out?
    So in short the name of the show and the year of its first season release is enough?

    Thank you!

    That entirely depends on how online metadata providers organize the series. A good example would be Doctor Who. Same show, but the seasons prior to the 2005 revival are listed separately from 2005+. Different TMDB IDs, starting from season 1 for the 2005 revival, etc.

    So go to TMDB and look up your show and see how it is organized.
