Movie & TV Search

Ratings, cast & episode guides

Movie & TV Search looks up any film or television show and returns ratings from IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes, and Metacritic alongside cast, director, plot, awards, and box office data. For TV shows it goes further — episode guides, per-episode ratings, full cast lists, and complete season breakdowns.

Whether you're making a watch recommendation, researching a show, or building an entertainment-themed project, this tool gives you the structured data you need in one call. No manual searching across sites, no tab-switching — just ask and get the full picture.

What you can do

  • search — find movies or TV shows by name and get IMDB IDs for precise follow-up lookups
  • get_details — fetch full ratings, cast, director, plot, awards, and box office for any title
  • get_episodes — get the episode list for a specific season with titles, air dates, and per-episode ratings
  • tv_show_cast — retrieve the full cast of a TV show with actor and character names
  • tv_episodes_detailed — get all seasons at once with episode summaries and ratings

Who it's for

People who want to know whether a show is worth watching before committing. Agents helping users find their next favorite series. Researchers or writers who need entertainment data. Anyone building watchlists, recommendations, or entertainment content.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find the right movie or show if I only know the name?

Start with `search` to get matching titles and IMDB IDs, then use `get_details` for the exact one you want. You can also filter search by movie, series, or year.

What extra details do I get from a title lookup?

`get_details` returns ratings from IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes, and Metacritic, plus cast, director, plot, awards, box office, and total seasons when the title is a series.

Can I pull episode lists for a TV show?

Yes. Use `get_episodes` for one season at a time, or `tv_episodes_detailed` to get every season in one pass with ratings and summaries.

Can I search by movie type or release year?

Yes. The `search` tool accepts `movie`, `series`, or `any`, and you can narrow results by year when you already know the release date.
