+- A 'series' playlist for each season that includes episodes for that season
+- A contentType for new series that are NOT using series management. 
+ - This contentType needs a set of custom parameters that let a user select the season playlists using: `"field_type": "playlist_select"` with the number of params equal to the maximum number of seasons being managed.
+- A media item for each series with the contentType defined above 
+- A playlist that contains all of the Series to be shown in a rail in tha app 
+
+ The setup above will allow customers to create a new series as a media asset, name it, add a description, upload an image and then select the season playlists against the custom parameters. 
+
+## Setup series in Zapp
+Add a series of Feeds in Zapp
+- One feed for the list of series: `zapp-dsp-base-url/jw/seriplaylistses/[playlistid]` 
+- One dynamic feed to load the list of episodes from the playlists: `zapp-dsp-base-url/jw/seriplaylistses/{{seasonplaylistID}}`
+
+In Zapp studio you then need the following rails/screens:
+- A rail to show all series covers using the list of series playlist above. 
+- A new **Series screen** to show the list of seasons and episodes. 
+ - This screen has a large number of rails equal to the maximum amount of seasons that may need to be shown
+ - Each rail is associated with the dynamic episode list feed above
+ - {{seasonplaylistID}} can be set to the custom parameters defined in the new series contentType for example:
+  - `extensions.season1`
+  - `extensions.season2`
+  - `extensions.season3`
+
