The series credit is (usually) added if you submit "created by" credits in the writers section to some or all episodes. You can start on the series page and select episodes in the form. If no episodes are listed yet, the series credit can probably be added without selecting episodes. If the episodes already have creator credits, you can also try adding the series credit. Adding creator credits is probably only appropriate if the creators are or will be credited as such on screen.
