Remove items from Continue Watching on Peacock in three steps
You can remove a show or movie from your Peacock Continue Watching list directly from that section. Open Peacock, find the Continue Watching row on your home screen, hover over or tap the title you want to remove, and look for an X or menu icon. Select the remove option, and the title disappears from that list when ready — it does not delete the show or movie from Peacock itself, only from your personal row.
The exact steps depend on whether you are using Peacock on a phone, tablet, computer, or TV device. Each platform has a slightly different layout, but the principle is the same: find the title, locate the remove button, and confirm.
Removing items from Continue Watching does not affect your ability to watch them later. The show or movie stays in Peacock's library and in your search history. You are only cleaning up the row that appears on your home screen.
Key Takeaways
- On a phone or tablet, tap and hold a title in Continue Watching, then select the remove or delete option from the menu that appears.
- On a computer, hover your mouse over a title in Continue Watching until an X or three-dot menu icon shows, then click it to remove.
- On a TV device, use your remote to highlight a title, then press the options button or select the remove icon.
- Removing a title from Continue Watching does not delete it from Peacock or stop you from watching it later.
- If you remove a title by mistake, you can start watching it again and it will reappear in Continue Watching automatically.
Remove from Continue Watching on a phone or tablet
Open the Peacock app and go to your home screen. Scroll to the Continue Watching row. Press and hold your finger on the title you want to remove — do not just tap it, hold it for a moment until a menu appears.
A popup or menu will show options. Look for a button that says "Remove from Continue Watching," "Remove," or shows an X icon. Tap that option. The title will disappear from the row when ready.
If you do not see a menu after holding, try swiping left on the title instead. Some versions of the Peacock app use a swipe gesture to reveal the remove button. Swipe from right to left across the title, and a delete or remove icon should appear on the right side.
Remove from Continue Watching on a computer or web browser
Go to Peacock.com and sign in. On your home screen, find the Continue Watching section. Move your mouse over the title you want to remove.
As you hover, an X icon or a three-dot menu button will appear in the corner of the title card. Click the X to remove it when ready, or click the three-dot menu and select "Remove from Continue Watching" from the options that appear.
The title will vanish from the Continue Watching row as soon as you click. You can undo this by starting to watch the title again — it will reappear in Continue Watching once you play it.
Remove from Continue Watching on a TV device
On Roku, Apple TV, Fire Stick, or another streaming device, open Peacock and navigate to your home screen. Use your remote to highlight a title in the Continue Watching row.
Press the Options button on your remote (often labeled as a menu, settings, or three-line icon). A menu will appear with choices. Select "Remove from Continue Watching" or a similar option. The title will be removed from the row.
If your remote does not have an Options button, try pressing the back or menu button instead. Different devices use different button layouts, but most remotes have a dedicated menu or options button that brings up a context menu when you are highlighting a title.
What happens when you remove a title from Continue Watching
Removing a title from Continue Watching only affects that specific row on your home screen. The show or movie remains available in Peacock's full library. You can search for it, find it through a category or collection, or browse to it the same way you did before.
Your watch progress is also saved. If you remove a show you were halfway through and then watch it again later, Peacock will remember where you stopped and offer to resume from that point.
The title will not reappear in Continue Watching unless you start watching it again. Once you play even a few seconds of the show or movie, it automatically returns to the Continue Watching row.
Why you might want to remove titles from Continue Watching
The Continue Watching row can fill up quickly, especially if you sample many shows or start movies you do not finish. Removing titles you have no intention of finishing keeps the row focused on what you actually plan to watch next.
Some people remove titles because they finished watching them and do not want the row cluttered with completed shows. Others remove titles they started but lost interest in, so the row shows only active viewing plans.
If you share a Peacock account with family members, removing titles from Continue Watching can also help keep your personal viewing separate from theirs, though note that everyone on the account will see the same Continue Watching row unless you have set up individual profiles.
Use profiles to keep Continue Watching separate
If you share a Peacock account with others, you can create separate profiles so each person has their own Continue Watching list. Go to your account settings, select "Manage Profiles," and add a new profile with a name and age rating.
Each profile has its own home screen, Continue Watching row, and watch history. When you switch to your profile, you see only your titles. This is more effective than removing items one by one if multiple people use the same account.
You can create up to four profiles on a standard Peacock account. Each profile can be password-protected if you want to prevent others from accessing it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does removing something from Continue Watching delete it from Peacock?
No. Removing a title from Continue Watching only removes it from that row on your home screen. The show or movie stays in Peacock's library and you can watch it anytime by searching for it or browsing categories.
Can I undo a removal from Continue Watching?
Yes. Start watching the title again — play it for a few seconds — and it will automatically reappear in your Continue Watching row. You do not need to do anything else; Peacock adds it back as soon as you resume playback.
Why is a show still in Continue Watching after I finished it?
Peacock keeps finished shows in Continue Watching until you manually remove them. If you completed a series and want it off the row, use the remove steps for your device. Alternatively, you can clear your entire watch history from account settings, though this removes all titles from Continue Watching at once.
Can I remove multiple titles from Continue Watching at once?
No. Peacock requires you to remove titles one at a time. There is no bulk remove option. If you want to clear many titles quickly, the fastest method is to clear your entire watch history from your account settings, but this removes everything at once.
Does removing from Continue Watching affect other profiles on my account?
No. Each profile has its own Continue Watching list. Removing a title from your profile does not affect what appears in another person's profile on the same account.
