Everyone can do it, and there are no surprises:

Finally, we've increased the maximum number of themes that can be assigned to a series from 5 to 6. As part of this update we went through and retroactively applied new and split themes, based on tags and terms used in the series and release synopsis.

Creators, we did our best to spot check for accuracy, but we recommend...
