Remove a show from Continue Watching by opening it and selecting "Remove from Continue Watching"

To clear a show from your Continue Watching row on Peacock, open the show's page and look for a menu option—usually three dots or a similar icon—then select "Remove from Continue Watching." The show will disappear from that row when ready, though you can still search for it and watch it later if you change your mind. Removing a show does not delete your watch history; it only hides it from the Continue Watching section on your home screen.

The exact location of this option depends on whether you are using Peacock on a phone, tablet, computer, or streaming device, but the principle is the same across all platforms. The menu is always on or near the show's title card or details page.

Key Takeaways

  • Open any show in your Continue Watching row, find the three-dot menu or options button, and select "Remove from Continue Watching."
  • Removing a show from Continue Watching does not erase your watch history—the show remains searchable and you can resume watching anytime.
  • On mobile devices, the menu button is usually in the top right corner of the show's page; on web browsers, it appears near the title or play button.
  • You can also clear your entire Continue Watching row by removing shows one at a time, but Peacock does not offer a "clear all" button.

How to remove a show on the Peacock app (phone or tablet)

Open the Peacock app and navigate to the show you want to remove from Continue Watching. Tap the show's title card or the show's page to open its details. Look for the three vertical dots (⋮) or a menu icon, usually in the top right corner of the screen.

Tap that menu icon and scroll through the options until you see "Remove from Continue Watching." Tap it, and the show will vanish from your Continue Watching row. You will return to the show's page or your home screen, and the change takes effect when ready.

How to remove a show on Peacock's website

Go to Peacock.com, sign in, and find the show in your Continue Watching row on the home screen. Hover your mouse over the show's title card. A menu icon (three dots) will appear on the card itself, usually in the top right corner of the thumbnail image.

Click the three-dot menu and select "Remove from Continue Watching" from the dropdown. The show will disappear from the row. If the menu does not appear on hover, click the show's title to open its full page, then look for the three-dot menu near the title or the play button.

How to remove a show on streaming devices (Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV)

Navigate to your Continue Watching row using your remote. Highlight the show you want to remove and press the menu or options button on your remote (often labeled "Menu," "Options," or shown as three dots). A menu will pop up with several choices.

Look for "Remove from Continue Watching" or similar wording and select it. The show will be removed from the row. If you do not see this option, try pressing the select or enter button on the show's card first to open its details page, then look for the menu option there.

What happens to your watch history when you remove a show

Removing a show from Continue Watching only hides it from that specific row on your home screen. Your watch history remains intact, and Peacock still remembers where you stopped watching. If you search for the show later or navigate to it directly, you can resume from exactly where you left off.

This is useful if you want to clean up your home screen without losing your place in a show. You can remove a show, watch other content for weeks, then come back and pick up right where you stopped—Peacock will still have your progress saved.

Why a show might reappear in Continue Watching

If you remove a show and then watch even a few seconds of it again, it will return to your Continue Watching row. Peacock treats any new viewing activity as a reason to bring the show back to that section. This is by design—the row is meant to show shows you have recently watched or are actively watching.

If a show keeps reappearing and you do not want to watch it, the only permanent solution is to avoid opening it. Peacock does not have a "do not show again" or "hide permanently" option for Continue Watching.

Clearing your entire Continue Watching row

Peacock does not offer a button to clear all shows from Continue Watching at once. You must remove each show individually by opening it and selecting the remove option. If you have many shows to clear, this takes a few minutes, but it is straightforward—open, tap menu, select remove, repeat.

Some users find it faster to do this on the website rather than the app, since you can see multiple show cards at once and move through them quickly. On a phone or tablet, you have to open each show separately, which takes longer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does removing a show from Continue Watching delete it from my account?

No. Removing a show from Continue Watching only hides it from that row on your home screen. The show remains in your library, your watch history is preserved, and you can search for it and resume watching anytime. Your progress is saved permanently.

Can I hide a show from Continue Watching without opening it?

Not directly. You must open the show's page or card and access the menu from there. On the website, you can hover over the show card to reveal the menu without fully opening the show's details page, which is slightly faster than on mobile.

Why does a show keep coming back to Continue Watching?

If you watch any part of a show again after removing it, Peacock will return it to Continue Watching. Even a few seconds of playback counts as recent activity. To prevent this, straightforward avoid opening the show.

Is there a way to organize Continue Watching instead of removing shows?

Peacock does not offer sorting, filtering, or custom organization for Continue Watching. Your only options are to remove shows you do not want to see or leave them there. The row displays your most recently watched content in the order Peacock determines.

Will removing a show affect my recommendations?

No. Removing a show from Continue Watching does not change your watch history or affect the shows Peacock recommends to you. Your recommendation algorithm is based on everything you have watched, not on what appears in Continue Watching.
