In mathematical and scientific contexts, serio refers to a sequence or a series of numbers, and serioj can be used to talk about multiple such series. More broadly, serioj can describe any collection of items arranged in a particular order or published in installments, such as a set of related works, a publication run, or a sequence of events.

In literature and media, serioj commonly describe works developed as a connected progression or a group of related titles, such as a book series, a magazine serial, or episodes within a television series. The term emphasizes continuity and order across the items it encompasses.

Etymology and cognates: Serio traces to Latin series and is cognate with similar words in many Romance languages (for example, serie in Italian and French série). The Esperanto form serioj reflects a standard plural pattern in the language, where many root nouns ending in -io or -o take -oj in the plural.
