Getting: Title slug 'animaniacs' is in use by series 'Animaniacs'

Sonarr version (exact version): 3.0.10.1567
Mono version (if Sonarr is not running on Windows): 6.12.0.200

Description of issue:

I have added Animaniacs (2020) already.

When I try to add the older Animaniacs (1993), I get the following error:

“Title slug ‘Animaniacs’ is in use by series ‘Animaniacs’. Check the FAQ for more information”

“Check the FAQ for more information”

To be fair I don’t think the faq addresses this case.
Looks to me like the new series was deleted and merged into the old one. You can check it when searching the name via thetvdb.com, it only returns the original show and it has the newer seasons as well.

For some reason (cache?) thetvdb api still returns both.

Delete the now invalid 2020 show from sonarr, add the 1993 show.

Thank you Thirrian. That worked.
