I was looking for information on a TV series that came out in 2016 and has a press release on IMDB, but the show itself isn't on the site, even though it has 2 seasons and has aired on the BBC America. The show is Weird Wonders of the World. 

I realize I am not the person to be adding this show, but shouldn't someone add it? I'm not sure if a show creator should do it or some other staff, but shouldn't it be listed somewhere?

Is it this?
http://www.bbcamerica.com/shows/weird...

It seems to be (at least) in the U.S. Netflix with the name "Weird Wonders of the World".
Year: 2016
Duration: 2 Seasons
Available Seasons: Season 1 (8 Ep), Season 2 (8 Ep)

Any case, anyone can add this series to IMDb. You need the confirmed names from the opening/end credits. You first need to add the "basic" specs and only after they're approved you can start adding episodes.

*EDIT: To make this a bit more confusing, Wikipedia lists the BBC TV series "World's Weirdest Events" with AKAs: "Weird Wonders of the World/Weird Wonders".  This "World's Weirdest Events" series IS on IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4987438/
BBC link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b069b2qc 

The first link says "host Chris Packham", so it could be that the series was originally shown in the UK from 2015 with the title "World's Weirdest Events" and then it premiered in the BBC America in 2016 with the title "Weird Wonders". Then in the U.S. Netflix it was renamed to "Weird Wonders of the World".

I'm about to make this doubly confusing as there actually are two different shows, one which is listed on IMDB but the one you linked from the bbc, which is the one I am looking for info on, is not. The 2015 show is a different series altogether, which may explain why one is missing.

I was looking for information on something I saw in an episode, but couldn't remember which one. As an aside, both series are available on Netflix currently. Oh and I'm in the US, just to make things easier.

EDIT: Let me clarify by saying the first BBC link you sent is the correct series I'm looking for (came out in 2016). The second series which is listed on IMDB is different and did debut in both the US and UK in 2015. I have seen both on Netflix so I can absolutely confirm they are different, one with 2 seasons (the 2016) the other has only 8 episodes as far as I know.

Well I could add it, but it wouldn't be very helpful as I'm looking for information on the show...

It seems that there's no need to add it since it's already on IMDb. Alternate names should be listed, of course.
Edit: Didn't first see your other post. Hmm..
