You can already have most of that with existing features around smart collections or publishing collections.

- **Actor collections** → smart collection based on an advanced filter by actor
- **Universe collections** → that’s more or less possible manually or based on some filter criteria (e.g. smart collection based on advanced filter `Studio=Marvel Studios`).
- **Seasonal Collections** → this one is probably the trickiest of your suggestions – you can currently only cover this with manually assigned collections
- **Smart Collections** → there’s already a few suggestion for that…
  - automatic/intelligent suggestions based on what you liked/watched → [[feature] intelligent user behaviour "you might like this"](https://forums.plex.tv/t/feature-intelligent-user-behaviour-you-might-like-this/76139)
  - active suggestions by/to other users → [Recommend server content (not just queued)](https://forums.plex.tv/t/recommend-server-content-not-just-queued/87784)

- **Recommend by Server Admin** → create a collection and publish it
