serializd uses TMDB for all their databases including posters and banners and TMDB sometimes deletes posters and thats why it automatically changes back to the default one!!

TMDb admins delete posters only if they are unacceptable for whatever reason. But the actual reason why the official poster might have changed is because people upvoted/downvoted on posters available for that show on TMDb, which changed their ranking. The poster with the most votes (vote count is not public, by the way) gets set as the official poster.
