I just wanted to know when a series was going to be streaming. Why is that so hard to look up? Why do web pages feed me advertisements rather than answers? So I decided to make this web page.

This is (hopefully) live at https://shows.unnecessary.tech/.

Feel free to fork this repo and add or update series information. The series data files should be stored in the data/series directory.
To add a new series simply create a file in the data/series directory with the name in the format title_sN.yaml where title is the series title in all lowercase with "_" characters instead of spaces, and N is the season number. The file should have the following format:

---
  name: "Daredevil: Born Again"
  service: Disney+
  season: 1
  date: 2025-03-31
  displayDate: March 2025
  universe: Marvel

The name, service, season, and date fields are mandatory and the displayDate and universe are optional. If you only have an approximate date you should fill in the displayDate field and then set the date to a value at the end of that approximate period. For shows that only have a year in which they are supposed to start, we set the date field to the January 1 of the next year. The format for the date field is YYYY-MM-DD however. The service field indicates which streaming service the show will be on. We currently have pages for the following services:

• Amazon Prime
• Apple TV+
• Disney+
• HBO Max
• Hulu
• Netflix
• Paramount+
• AMC+

Feel free to add a service if it is missing. The universe tag is provided to links series from the same universe. We currently have the following universes:

• Marvel
• Star Trek
• Star Wars

Please use the existing files for reference. To update a series, you can edit the existing file.

The web page is build using Hugo which you can install on your own computer if you want to preview your edits. Just run hugo server from the command line in the root directory of the project and you should see a preview at http://localhost:1313.
