Regular Cast Edit

The regular cast section is only for the main or starring cast of the series. It is reserved exclusively for cast members with a series regular status per a season on-screen credits.

Any actor not credited as a series regular—including but not limited to recurring guest stars, guest stars and co-stars—should be added as a Guest Star instead. These actors not credited as series regulars might appear in one, a few, half, most, or even every episodes of a season.

Preferably, only the series regulars who are in all or most episodes of a season should be added as season regulars. Series regular actors are generally credited in every episode of a season, but the characters might not appear in every episode. It is completely normal for regular cast members to be missing from one or a few episodes of a season (i.e. credit only). This is often the case with television series with large ensemble cast. However, if a series regular is only in half of a season, they can be added as a guest star instead.

The host is usually credited as a season regular for talk shows and game shows. The same is true for the narrator of a documentary series.

Some series do not have season regulars. As an example, the anthology series Black Mirror does not have any series regulars because each episode has a different cast.

One important thing to remember is that each season is independent:

• The regular cast can change a little bit (e.g. Heroes), be completely different (e.g. Fargo) or stay exactly the same (e.g. Friends) from one season to the next .
• An actor can be guest starring or recurring for the first two seasons (Guest Star) and promoted as regular for season three (Regular Cast).
• An actor can be a series regular for the first six seasons (Regular Cast) and be a guest start in the seventh season (Guest Star).

The "Add To Every Season?" box should only be checked if an actor is a series regular for every (produced) season of the show.

When a series regular play two or more main roles (e.g. twins), they are usually credited as "Character 1 / Character 2". We sometimes choose not to credit a main role when the role itself is a big spoiler.

When series regular play different character each seasons, the characters should be credited individually. A good example is the horror anthology series American Horror Story.

When a series regular play a one episode role, they are not credited at all. For example, when a series regular play their character's parent in a flashback episode.
