I expect same as covers, the series metadata require phoning the mothership to populate. The metadata probably won't be stored in/with the books either but in a central repository or database of some kind.

Everything on my Paperwhite is purchased, and I never turn off WiFi so it is free to call home any time.
In the Kindle Store, for some time now, most series books are delineated and you can View Books in Series, with a purchase option to buy them all at once. (I accidentally tapped that button a couple of weeks ago, and unlike single purchases, I was unable to reverse the purchase on my Account page and had to contact Customer Support) So they must already have metadata that could be used on-device somehow.
So I guess we’ll have to wait and see what happens with this.
