‌Issue Description:‌  
Plex is incorrectly merging metadata for two distinct TV shows:

Original series: “Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt” (2010)‌  
New sequel series："New PANTY & STOCKING with GARTERBELT "(2025)‌  
While The Movie Database (TMDB) correctly lists them as separate entries, Plex appears to be combining their metadata or matching incorrectly.

> Server Version#: 4.148.0 The sequel series to the anime “Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt” was just released, and it is titled “New Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt”, but Plex’s library scan instead treats it as the same series as the original, meaning the new episodes overwrite the old series’ episodes in Plex’s database. Could this weird edge case possibly be fixed?

Thank you, I’ve seen this post, and I will wait for PLEX to fix this issue.
