Infobox
{{Episode |title= |image= |caption= |season= |number= |overall= |airdate= |writer= |director= |previous= |next= }}
- title - Filling out is usually not needed because the infobox automatically copies the article title. All article titles are written in title case, even if the episode name is stylized, such as Raising Kanan's episodes which have all uppercase letters for its episode titles, so if the episode title is stylized, write the stylized version in this field.
- image - The official episode thumbnail used by Starz. Otherwise, use the series' title card until it is released.
- caption - Used to indicate the type of image used in the infobox. Only put either "Official episode image" or "Series title card"
- season - The number of the episode's season. Do not add a link to the season.
- number - The episode number in the season.
- overall - The episode number in the overall series.
- airdate - Release date.
- writer - The writer(s) of the episode. Use an ampersand (&) to separate the last writer from the rest when listing multiple writers.
- director - The director(s) of the episode. Like before, use an ampersand (&) to separate the last director from the rest when listing multiple directors.
- previous - The title of the previous episode with a link, but with no double quotation marks. Use the stylized version of the title if applicable.
- next - Same as the former, but for the next episode.
