I came looking through the posts trying to determine the same thing. I haven't found anything online - ideally the meaning of theses status' would be documented somewhere.

It'd be much appreciated if someone that maintains the API could chime in on this. For example:

• Clarification between 'Ended' and 'Canceled'. I'm guessing that 'Ended' is actually 'Completed' (like it's come to it's natural completion, and hasn't ended due to cancellation).
• What's the difference between the 'in_production' property and the 'In Production' status?
• 'In Production' seems to be similar to 'Returning Series', in that it indicates that it's started airing, and has future items coming.

Guess I'm mainly curious as to the cutoffs and logic behind each status.

There's a section of our contribution guidelines that explains the different tv statuses and their meaning. You can find it here. The guidelines are only available on the website, so I'm not too sure about documenting it through the API as well.

In the API this parameter is used as a filter.
https://developers.themoviedb.org/3/discover/tv-discover

&with_status=

Filter TV shows by their status.    
Returning Series: 0 Planned: 1 In Production: 2 Ended: 3 Cancelled: 4 Pilot: 5  
Allowed Values: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

Ah cool, thanks for the prompt replies.

As far as how/where to document it. Some of the API pages have descriptions about the endpoint. Perhaps just having the same link for the statuses section you posted but in the endpoint description for the series details? Or where ever those statuses are returned.

My native language is not English.
I cannot understand your new question.
I think you want to know where to find this information about the status parameter.
Being on this page,
https://developers.themoviedb.org/3/discover/tv-discover
click on the link ...show 24 more properties
The with_status parameter is at the end of the list.

Or where ever those statuses are returned.

Or, you want to know where this parameter is in a response with data from a TV Show.
Not in an answer for TV Discover get/discover/tv.
It's in an answer to Get Details get/tv/{tv_id}

My question was directed at Rebecca, and her ending statement. Here's the endpoint I was referencing: https://developers.themoviedb.org/3/tv/get-tv-details
