TVmaze episode lists after a show is remade or retitled

Season numbers drift when a series is remade, split, or retitled for a region. Mapping your old row onto the current TVmaze list is the whole import problem.

Prefer a structured export over a screenshot. We match titles to TVmaze so S2E1 is the same episode the guide thinks it is.

Why screenshots fail

A photo of “Season 2” does not say which numbering scheme. A row with a TVmaze or Trakt id does.

When to check the list

Anthologies, reboots, and UK/US title swaps. Open the episode names, not just the numbers.

Frequently asked questions

Do you license TVmaze?

Episode lists, air dates, and artwork come from TVmaze under CC BY-SA.

What if two shows share a name?

Pick the year and network that match the one you watched.
