Tv Shows not updated

Hello, First of all I want to thank you for this API. It`s amazing. I'm working on a web app where an user can have a Database of their TV Shows and see when a new Episode is coming out. The problem is that some Tv Shows are not updated.
For example I saw that Vampire Diaries shows that the last season it`s season 9. Whereas the last season is 8.
Is there a way to fix this? Or any guidance on how to properly check which is the current season and the last episode coming out?
Thanks,
Flo

In some cases like Vampire Diaries, that was just erroneous bad data which had to get cleaned up. It actually was, on Feb. 19.
To your question about a proper query to get the next episode? Nothing yet but it's a feature I have in my backlog. I definitely want to see that one get released. Here's the ticket.

Just an update, tickets #470 and #471 were completed this morning. These two tickets include adding a
last_episode_to_airandnext_episode_to_airfield to the TV series get details call. The documentation for the get details method can be found here.P.S. you might not see the updated responses on all TV series yet, as some items will still need to be expired from the cache.
