TV Show database – Best way for structuring it?

First, you shouldn’t do this with the built in post types of post or page. Use a custom post type.

Example: movies and series, where
movies is non-hierarchical, but
series is.

Use register_post_type() and set hierarchical to true (default: false). Take a look at the rewrite argument > with_front to prepend /series/.

Then add some templates:

  • series-list.php,
  • series-detail.php,
  • series-season.php,
  • series-episode.php…
