Cinopsys
Last checked October 26, 2026
The short answer
No. Letterboxd is built for films and does not track TV shows or episodes. Cinopsys tracks movies and TV episode by episode and syncs with Trakt, Simkl, MDBList and WeTrakr. Many people use both: Letterboxd for film community, Cinopsys for everything they watch.
This isn't really a fight. Letterboxd and Cinopsys are good at different things, and plenty of people happily use both. But if you found this page, you probably searched something like "Letterboxd for TV shows", so let's answer that directly, then show you what to use instead.
Letterboxd is a film-only social network, gorgeous for reviews, diaries and lists, but it doesn't track TV shows, and it has a paid tier for extras. Cinopsys tracks movies and TV episode-by-episode, and syncs with Trakt, Simkl, MDBList and WeTrakr. Use Letterboxd for film culture; use Cinopsys to track everything.
Does Letterboxd track TV shows? Not yet
Letterboxd is built around film: director filmographies, star ratings, the diary, the year in review. It has said since 2023 that TV is planned, and it was reportedly still working on it in July 2026, but as of October 2026 episode tracking isn't available yet. You'll spot the odd limited series or TV movie because of how it's catalogued, but there's no episode tracking, no season progress, no "up next." If your watching is half TV, and for most of us it is, Letterboxd can only tell half the story.
What Letterboxd does beautifully
Credit where it's due. Letterboxd's reviews and community are the real draw, its lists are a joy, and its taste-making culture is part of why people love film more. Nothing here replaces that. If you write reviews and follow other cinephiles, keep your Letterboxd. This is about the other half of your watchlist.
What Cinopsys adds
Cinopsys is a complete tracker for both movies and TV. Mark episodes as you watch, see exactly where you left off across every show, get notified when the next episode airs, and watch your stats build up over time, total hours, top genres, ratings. It works the moment you install it, no account needed.
When you do want your data in the cloud, Cinopsys syncs with Trakt, Simkl, MDBList and WeTrakr (your watch history and watchlist stay in step both ways), or backs up to your own Google Drive: your call.

The verdict
Letterboxd is a great home for film culture, and nothing here asks you to give it up. But for now it doesn't track your TV. Cinopsys does, movies and shows, episode by episode, with your data portable through Trakt, Simkl, MDBList and WeTrakr. Run them side by side and you've got everything covered.
Frequently asked questions
Does Letterboxd track TV shows?
No. Letterboxd is a film-only platform today. It doesn't track TV shows, episodes or season progress, though it has said it's working on it. A handful of limited series and TV movies appear because of how they're catalogued, but there's no episode tracking. If you want to track TV, you need a different app. Cinopsys tracks both movies and TV, episode-by-episode.
Is there a Letterboxd alternative for TV shows?
Cinopsys tracks movies and TV in one place, marks episodes as you watch, shows upcoming episodes and stats, and syncs with Trakt, Simkl, MDBList and WeTrakr.
Is Letterboxd free?
Letterboxd has a free tier (which shows ads) plus paid Pro (about $19/year) and Patron (about $49/year) tiers on the US App Store (prices vary by region) that remove ads and add stats, streaming filters and extras.
Can I use Letterboxd and Cinopsys together?
Absolutely, many people do. Letterboxd is wonderful for film reviews, diaries and a cinema-loving community; Cinopsys is the place to actually track everything you watch, especially TV. They complement each other.
Does Cinopsys have reviews and a social diary?
Cinopsys is a personal tracker focused on your library, ratings, history and stats rather than a public social network. If a film-first social feed is what you love about Letterboxd, keep it, and use Cinopsys for tracking everything, TV included.
