Hi,

For each special episode, please find out how the episode numbered on http://www.discovery.com/tv-shows/alaskan-bush-people/ at the time of release. It's best to use the listing at the time of release because History often moves the episodes around. For example, for a special episode that aired in June 2020, we should ideally use the archives to see the original June 2020 release.

but am not sure if these need to be added in the specials or as extra episodes in the seasons itself.

Special episodes listed as "Episode 0" as well as any odd-numbered (eg. Episode 101 in a 13 episode season) or unnumbered episodes are added to the special season. This is explained in the Contribution Bible.

However, special episodes that are counted as a regular episodes by the original broadcaster should remain in the regular season.
