Remove a show from Continue Watching by opening the title and selecting "Remove from Continue Watching"
To clear a show from your Continue Watching row on Peacock, open the show's main page and look for a menu icon (three dots) or an option labeled "Remove from Continue Watching." Click or tap it, and the show disappears from that row when ready. The show itself stays in your library—you can still search for it and watch it anytime. Removing it only clears your viewing history from that specific row.
The exact location of this option depends on whether you're using the Peacock app on a phone, tablet, smart TV, or web browser. On most devices, the three-dot menu appears near the play button or in the top corner of the show's page. On some smart TVs, you may need to highlight the show in your Continue Watching row and press a menu button on your remote to see removal options.
Key Takeaways
- Open any show in your Continue Watching row, find the three-dot menu or similar option, and select "Remove from Continue Watching" to clear it from that row.
- Removing a show from Continue Watching does not delete it from Peacock or erase your account—the show remains searchable and watchable.
- You can remove shows one at a time through their individual pages, but Peacock does not offer a bulk removal tool for clearing multiple shows at once.
- If you want to stop a show from reappearing in Continue Watching, you must remove it each time you finish watching or pause it partway through.
Where to find the Remove option on different devices
On a phone or tablet running the Peacock app, open the show you want to remove and look for three vertical dots in the upper right corner of the screen. Tap that menu, and you should see "Remove from Continue Watching" listed. If the dots are not visible, try tapping the show's title or artwork to bring up the menu.
On a web browser, visit Peacock.com, navigate to your Continue Watching row, hover over the show tile, and click the three-dot menu that appears. Select "Remove from Continue Watching" from the dropdown. On a smart TV or streaming device, highlight the show in your Continue Watching row using your remote, press the menu or options button (often labeled with three lines or dots), and choose the removal option from the menu that appears.
What happens when you remove a show
Removing a show from Continue Watching clears it from that specific row on your home screen. The show no longer appears in your viewing history on that row, and Peacock stops tracking your progress on it in that location. However, the show itself is not deleted from Peacock's catalog, and you can still find it by searching or browsing.
If you resume watching the show later, it will reappear in your Continue Watching row and Peacock will remember where you left off. Your watch history and saved position are separate from the Continue Watching row, so removing the show from that row does not affect either one.
Removing multiple shows at once
Peacock does not have a built-in feature to remove multiple shows from Continue Watching in one action. You must remove each show individually by opening it and selecting the removal option. If your Continue Watching row is cluttered with many titles, plan to spend a few minutes going through them one by one.
A faster approach is to clear your entire Continue Watching row by removing shows in batches over a few days. Start with the shows you are least interested in finishing, and work your way through. This keeps your home screen organized without requiring you to do everything at once.
Why a show might reappear in Continue Watching
If you remove a show and it comes back, you likely resumed watching it after removing it. Peacock automatically adds any show you play to your Continue Watching row, even if you removed it before. This is by design—the row is meant to show what you are actively watching across your account.
If you do not want a show in Continue Watching, avoid playing it again. If you have already watched the entire series and do not plan to rewatch it, removing it once should keep it off the row permanently, as long as you do not start playing it again.
Clearing your Continue Watching row on different account types
If you have a Peacock Premium or Premium Plus subscription, the removal process works the same way as described above. The Continue Watching row is tied to your individual account profile, so removing a show only affects your view—other people using the same Peacock account on different profiles will still see the show in their own Continue Watching rows.
If you share a Peacock account with family members, each person can manage their own Continue Watching row independently by signing into their own profile. Removing a show from your profile does not remove it from anyone else's profile. If you want to prevent a show from appearing for all users, you would need to remove it from each profile separately.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does removing a show from Continue Watching delete my watch history?
No. Removing a show from Continue Watching only clears it from that row on your home screen. Peacock still remembers where you stopped watching and how far you got into the show. If you play the show again, it will resume from where you left off.
Can I remove a show I have not finished watching?
Yes. You can remove any show from Continue Watching at any point, whether you have watched one episode or ten. Removing it does not affect your progress—Peacock still knows where you stopped, and you can pick up from that exact spot if you decide to watch it again later.
What if the three-dot menu does not appear on my device?
Try tapping or clicking directly on the show's title or artwork to bring up additional options. On some smart TVs, you may need to press the menu button on your remote while the show is highlighted. If you are using an older version of the Peacock app, update it from your device's app store and try again.
Will removing a show affect other people using my Peacock account?
Only if they are using the same profile as you. If your household members have their own profiles on your Peacock account, they will not see your removals—each profile has its own Continue Watching row. If someone is using your profile, they will see the show removed from their view as well.
Can I remove a show from Continue Watching without opening it?
Not directly. You must open the show's page or highlight it in your Continue Watching row to access the removal option. On some devices, you can right-click or long-press a show tile to bring up a menu without fully opening the show, but this varies by device and app version.
