    you can try rename: https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/rename.1.html

    or
    rename 's/expression/replacement/' filename

    select range of episodes per season then add season number (eg S01) in replacement string.

    then restart numbering for next set of episodes (eg 01 to 12) and add S02. and so on. more tedious than the gui Rename method but doable.
