Show → Season → Episode
A real hierarchy, not a tagged playlist. Seasons are numbered within their show, and episodes are numbered and ordered inside their season.
ON AIRTV SHOWS & SERIES
Publish a series the way television is organised — show, season, episode — with access you set on the whole show or on a single episode, and the next episodes already lined up under the player.
- Show → Season → Episode
- Access per show or per episode
- Up Next in every season
- Duplicate next week’s episode
02/ 07WITHOUT IT
- 01
Season two sits in the same flat list as season one, and nobody can tell episode 4 from episode 14 without reading every title.
- 02
Making the pilot free means copying it somewhere else, because access is all or nothing for the whole playlist.
- 03
And every week someone rebuilds the same episode from a blank form — the artwork, the description, the access — and gets one field wrong.
03/ 07HOW IT WORKS
The show carries the defaults. Episodes inherit them until you say otherwise.
- Step 01
Create the show
Poster, backdrop, year, content rating, genres, cast & crew and a trailer. Set its access once: free, any active subscription, or only the plans you name.
- Step 02
Add the seasons
Each season gets its own number, poster, description, release year and trailer — and its own tab on the show page.
- Step 03
Add episodes, and the exceptions
Episodes inherit the show’s access. Override any one of them: open the pilot to everyone, keep the finale for a named plan.
- Step 04
Duplicate for next week
Press Duplicate and the episode’s whole setup is copied as the next number in the season. Change the title and the video, and publish.
04/ 07WHAT IT DOES
Every capability below ships in Content → Shows in the Studio and on your public site, in your brand.
02
Season tabs on the show page
Visitors switch seasons from tabs, each with its own poster, description, release year and Watch trailer button — beside a trailer for the show itself.
03
An episode grid people can scan
Thumbnails, episode-number badges, runtimes, and a lock badge on every episode that isn’t free.
04
Per-episode access
Episodes inherit the show’s access or override it one at a time: free, any active subscription, or only the plans you name.
05
Up Next
Under the player, the following episodes of the season are lined up with thumbnails and runtimes, so nobody goes back to the show page to find the next one.
06
Duplicate
Clone an episode’s entire setup as the next number in the season, with its view count starting at zero. A weekly drop starts as a copy, not a blank form.
07
Drag episodes into order
Reorder a season’s episodes by dragging them, and the show page follows.
08
A rail that keeps them browsing
12 recommended titles on every episode page — shown even when the episode is locked, so a blocked viewer still has somewhere to go.
09
Save the show or one episode
My List holds a whole show or a single episode, and Continue Watching brings a half-watched episode back with a link straight into the player.

Questions operators ask
Yes. Episodes inherit the show’s access by default. Set a different access on any episode — a free pilot, a finale for one named plan — and only that episode changes.
