What you can do is select which metadata sources are use, and which is the default (usually TMDB).  Have you checked that the online database you have set as default has the data you are expecting?

or use a 3rd party metadata provider - then emby just uses what its provided with

Hi, sorry for the missing information. Through pwhodges reminder to check which metadata I used I solved it. It was an user error. I thought emby would scan imdb for data but I was wrong and at the TVDB there was a way less data then on imdb. Thanks a lot. Great community!

Emby doesn't use IMDB for lookups because the cost is way too high.  It accepts IMDB ids though because they can be used as a search key in other databases.
