You cannot mix movies and TV shows in the same library. They must be in separate directory structures and separate libraries.

Which two series?

How are the files currently named and organized? Please provide a directory listing, screenshot, etc. that shows the full path to the files, including the folder added to the Plex library and the file extension (mp4/mkv/etc.).

Follow Plex naming and organization requirements for TV shows. You may need to [Plex Dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064) the shows afterwards.

As @napolij states, name them correctly then perform the [Plex Dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064).

Example:

```auto
/movies
   /Die Hard (1988)
      /Die Hard (1988).mkv
   /Die Hard 2 (1990)
      /Die Hard 2 (1990).mkv
   /Die Hard with a Vengeance (1995)
      /Die Hard with a Vengeance (1995).mkv

```
