Data sources and licensing
WhatNext uses TVmaze as its catalogue source, and TMDB for trailers and streaming availability (data by JustWatch).
TMDB (trailers and streaming)
Trailer information (which official video to show) comes from TMDB. Shows are matched by stable TheTVDB or IMDb IDs, never by title. The video itself plays from YouTube only after you tap play.
Streaming availability ("Where to watch") and the list of streaming services come from TMDB's watch-provider data, which is provided by JustWatch. Availability is shown for the country you choose in Profile and is cached, so it may be a few days old. WhatNext never uses your location to guess your country.
Streaming data by JustWatch.
This product uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB.
TVmaze
TV show titles, summaries, genres, show types, premiere dates, networks, web channels, artwork links and user rating averages come from the free public TVmaze API.
Modifications we make
We reformat and shorten summaries, strip HTML markup to safe text, normalise dates and missing values, group release events by week, and derive our own ordering for discovery feeds. Ratings shown as “TVmaze” are the unmodified source averages.
Artwork is linked directly from TVmaze’s image servers rather than re-hosted. Individual images may carry additional rightsholder restrictions.
What is not from TVmaze
Your list, statuses, ratings, private notes, Circles and recommendations are created by you and are not part of the licensed catalogue data. TVmaze does not endorse WhatNext.
Owner review items
ShareAlike obligations for adapted catalogue material, trademark clearance and operator details are documented for review in the project’s licensing notes and are not settled by attribution alone.
