Downloaded tv series
So I bought a whole tv series on iTunes Store thinking I can watch it all. I can’t download the last 4 episodes and it says series only? What does This mean?

Hello Kalalawi,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities. I understand from your post that you purchased a TV Series from the iTunes Store but you're unable to download the last 4 episodes and it says series only. I'd like to help.
"Choose how you want to buy TV episodes
There are four ways to get TV shows through the iTunes Store:
Purchase available TV episodes individually. You can download or stream the episode immediately after you complete your purchase.
Purchase all available episodes from a completed season. You can download or stream all available episodes immediately after you complete your purchase. If you've purchased one or more episodes from a Season, you can complete your season at any time.
Purchase all current and future episodes of a season and download them to your library or play them immediately.2 When a new episode becomes available, you'll get an email letting you know that you can download it. If you have an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, you'll also receive a push notification. If you've purchased one or more episodes from a Season, you can complete your Season Pass at any time.
Purchase a set number of episodes of a show that doesn't air in traditional seasons.2 The latest episode downloads immediately after you complete your purchase, and the rest of your allotted purchased episodes download as soon as they become available.
If you purchase a completed season, you'll generally pay less than if you buy each episode individually. If you purchase a Season Pass, you'll always receive a discount off the total of eligible episodes.
2. Season Pass and Multi-Pass might not be available for all shows, or available to users in every country or region."
Buy TV episodes from the iTunes Store individually or with a Season Pass
Let me know if you have any questions.
Have a great day!
Thanks for the reply. I purchased empire season 5. I have watched up to episode 13 but the next 5 episodes are unable to be downloaded. It says series only next to it but it’s a date of 30 dec 2019. Does that mean that even though the show has finished on tv I will not be able to watch the last 5 episodes until the end of the year?!? Thanks again.
