1. Name and organize according to Plex requirements.

2. Add the TVDB ID to the show folder name.  
  
See [Naming & Organizing Your TV Show Files](https://support.plex.tv/articles/naming-and-organizing-your-tv-show-files/) for above items.

3. After renaming, [Plex Dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064) both shows, putting them back one at a time.

If Plex still combines the shows, then split them and Fix Match if necessary. See [Merge or Split Items](https://support.plex.tv/articles/201018248-merge-or-split-items/).
