The Movie Database Support Forum

Hello, When looking at the latest incarnation of Doctor Who, the website indicates there are two seasons: Specials and Season 1. To my understanding, this is correct.

When using the API ( https://api.themoviedb.org/3/tv/239770 ), the following JSON is returned:

{
    "number_of_episodes": 8,
    "number_of_seasons": 1,
    "seasons": [
        {
            "air_date": "2023-11-25",
            "episode_count": 4,
            "id": 366208,
            "name": "Specials",
            "overview": "",
            "poster_path": "/yfv1M5j7tvYWD4hj4bufhYJvTx9.jpg",
            "season_number": 0,
            "vote_average": 0
        },
        {
            "air_date": null,
            "episode_count": 8,
            "id": 366207,
            "name": "Season 1",
            "overview": "After a transformation in the 60th-anniversary special episodes, the Fifteenth Doctor encounters Ruby Sunday, a 19-year-old, during a Christmas adventure. Together, they encounter familiar faces like Kate Stewart and Mel Bush, while also meeting a peculiar character from the 1960s and a mysterious duchess. The episodes follow the Doctor and Ruby as they explore new worlds and encounter intriguing characters.",
            "poster_path": "/91wVL2amQouWhbMfvrVeFNrrHmR.jpg",
            "season_number": 1,
            "vote_average": 0
        }
    ]
}

(Note I've removed the irrelevant portions for brevity.)

Note that number_of_seasons indicates 1, despite the seasons array clearly having two entries.

Is this expected behavior?

(This was reported to me by a user of my app)

Thanks, Casey

Hey Casey,

Yes, this is expected. When we count seasons, we do not count season 0 (specials).

👍🏻 👍🏻

Thanks for verifying, Travis! Hope you had a restful holiday season & a great New Year!
