I've been writing off and on for decades, but I have an idea that I love for a sci-fi series and I've written the pilot and have the majority of the first season planned.

Without assuming you do or do not know what I'm about to suggest below, what I would do is:
- Understand TV series development end-to-end, including how to write a TV series pitch bible
- Learn how to pitch and practice practice practice. Did I say practice? I mean to say practice. :-)
- Get professional feedback on your script from a reputable company. I love getting coverage from three professional readers independent of each other.
- Start pitching and evolving your pitch.
I am in no way affiliated with Stage32, but I've taken their webinars and they are very helpful and very affordable. They also have script coverage, consulting, and pitch services. Sure, you're going to spend a few hundred, but if you make a plan and start executing, you'll understand where you stand and what you need to work on.
In summary, learn the world of TV, get your series bible and pilot vetted and polished, then once you're ready, start pitching. Good luck and have a blast!
