Remove items from Continue Watching by opening the show or movie and selecting "Remove from Continue Watching"
The Continue Watching row on your Peacock home screen holds the shows and movies you've started but haven't finished. To clear it out, you open the title itself, find the menu options, and choose to remove it. The exact steps depend on whether you're using the Peacock app on a phone, tablet, web browser, or streaming device — but the core action is the same on all of them.
You don't need to finish watching something to remove it, and removing a title doesn't delete it from Peacock or erase your account. It just takes that particular show or movie off your Continue Watching list so it stops appearing on your home screen.
Key Takeaways
- Open any show or movie in your Continue Watching row, then look for a menu icon (three dots or lines) to find the remove option.
- On phones and tablets, the menu is usually at the top or bottom of the title's detail page; on web and streaming devices, it's often in the upper right corner.
- Removing a title from Continue Watching does not delete it from Peacock or affect your account — you can watch it again anytime.
- If you want to clear your entire Continue Watching list at once, you'll need to remove titles one by one; Peacock does not have a bulk-clear option.
- Your Continue Watching list syncs across devices, so removing something on your phone will remove it from your TV app and web browser too.
How to remove from Continue Watching on the Peacock app (phone or tablet)
Open the Peacock app and find the show or movie in your Continue Watching row on the home screen. Tap on the title to open its detail page — the page that shows the description, episode list, and play button.
Look for a menu icon at the top or bottom of the screen. On most phones and tablets, this is three vertical dots (⋮) or three horizontal lines (☰). Tap it. A menu will appear with options including "Remove from Continue Watching." Tap that option, and the title will disappear from your Continue Watching row.
If you don't see the menu icon on the first screen, try scrolling down on the detail page or looking in the upper right corner. The exact placement varies slightly depending on your device and the version of the Peacock app you have installed.
How to remove from Continue Watching on the Peacock website
Log into Peacock in your web browser and locate the show or movie in your Continue Watching section on the home page. Click on the title to open its detail page.
In the upper right area of the page, you'll see a menu icon — usually three dots arranged vertically. Click it to open a dropdown menu. Select "Remove from Continue Watching" from the list. The title will be removed from your list when ready.
If the menu doesn't appear right away, hover your mouse over the title's image or description area — sometimes the menu icon only shows up when you move your cursor over the content.
How to remove from Continue Watching on streaming devices (Roku, Apple TV, Fire Stick, etc.)
Open Peacock on your streaming device and navigate to the Continue Watching row using your remote. Highlight the show or movie you want to remove.
Press the menu button on your remote — this is often labeled as Options, Menu, or shown as three dots or lines. A menu will appear. Look for "Remove from Continue Watching" and select it using your remote's directional buttons and select button. The title will be removed from the list.
The exact button names and menu layouts vary by device. If you're unsure which button opens the menu on your remote, check your device's manual or look for a button with three dots or lines printed on it.
What happens when you remove a title from Continue Watching
Removing a title from Continue Watching only removes it from that specific list on your home screen. The show or movie stays in your Peacock library and remains searchable. You can find it again by searching for the title by name, browsing the category it belongs to, or checking your watchlist if you've added it there.
Your watch history is not affected. Peacock still remembers where you stopped watching, so if you decide to watch the title again later, you can resume from where you left off — or start from the beginning if you prefer.
Removing a title from Continue Watching also removes it from the list on all your devices. If you remove a show on your phone, it will no longer appear in Continue Watching on your TV app, web browser, or tablet.
Why you might want to clear your Continue Watching list
Your Continue Watching row can get cluttered if you start many shows without finishing them. Removing titles you don't plan to finish keeps your home screen focused on what you actually want to watch next.
Some people also remove titles for privacy reasons — if you share your Peacock account with family members, clearing Continue Watching prevents others from seeing what you've been watching. Keep in mind that removing titles from Continue Watching is different from clearing your full watch history, which is a separate setting in your account preferences.
Clearing your entire Continue Watching list at once
Peacock does not have a button to clear your entire Continue Watching list in one action. You'll need to remove each title individually using the steps above. If your list is very long, this takes time, but there's no faster built-in method.
If you want to clear your watch history completely — which is different from removing individual titles from Continue Watching — you can do that through your account settings. Go to your profile or account menu, look for Privacy or Watch History settings, and select the option to clear your history. This removes all record of what you've watched, not just the Continue Watching list.
Frequently Asked Questions

Why isn't the menu icon showing up when I try to remove a title?
