Notification Option for TV Season Finale (only)
Instead of selecting which shows notify you when a new episode comes out; provide an option to only notify when the selected show(s) have aired the last episode of a season. This feature would be especially great because I'm sure a lot of folks get too many notifications and also like to wait until all the episodes for a season have aired and then 'binge' them. Thank you!!

Unfortunately this data is not always available when the season has ended and no new episodes are planned to be produced. You might miss notifications for some shows or never receive one untill new season starts.
It is available on TVDB for some shows, but not all shows and often only available after some time (few days) after last episode has aired. Show production schedule is unpredictable in many cases.

something that can help, is maybe if there is a significant time elapse from the last time an episode was released, that could suggest,
the final has aired,
the final is scheduled for a later date
it was cancel or stopped / redirected production.
in any case, if you were someone waiting for the final, then waiting a bit longer after the last airs is probably not a big deal, and when you get the notification, you can do your binge. this also fixes the data availability problem, and if its off by default, good. (an example, doctor who (2005-2015) would have last ep air near Christmas, or animes with dubs are usually 2 weeks behind, so probably if something is weekly and it stopped for 3 weeks, send the notification)(also I cant delete my account (no password (forgot) and don't have the email anymore, I send a message to support 2025-12-05 IP 62.93.167.181)not this account, you'll know when you see it)

No worries! I see Sonarr has this feature in their calendar functionality (see screenshot). They depict it via the orange 'pause' icon and appears to be correct on the shows I watch. Maybe it's possible to use the source Sonarr is using for this data? Thank you again!!
