Remove items from Continue Watching on Peacock

You can remove a show or movie from your Peacock Continue Watching list by opening the title and selecting the remove option, or by using the three-dot menu next to the title on your home screen. The item disappears from Continue Watching when ready, though Peacock keeps a record of what you've watched if you want to find it again later. Removing something does not delete your account or change your subscription.

The steps differ slightly depending on whether you're using the Peacock app on a phone, tablet, web browser, or streaming device. All methods work the same way in terms of what happens to your account — only the button locations change.

Key Takeaways

  • You can remove a title from Continue Watching by tapping or clicking the three-dot menu next to it and selecting the remove option.
  • On some devices, you can also remove an item by opening the title itself and finding a remove or stop watching button in the menu.
  • Removing a show or movie from Continue Watching does not delete it from Peacock or affect your account in any way.
  • You can still search for and watch the same title again after removing it from Continue Watching.

Remove from Continue Watching on the Peacock app (phone or tablet)

Open the Peacock app and go to your home screen. Find the title you want to remove in the Continue Watching row or section. Press and hold on the title card (or tap the three-dot menu icon if it appears on the card). A menu will pop up with options including "Remove from Continue Watching" or similar wording — tap that option.

The title vanishes from Continue Watching within a few seconds. If you don't see a three-dot menu on the card itself, try long-pressing the entire title card until a menu appears. On some versions of the app, the menu appears automatically; on others, you have to tap a small icon in the corner of the card.

Remove from Continue Watching on Peacock web browser

Log into Peacock on your web browser and look at your home page. Locate the Continue Watching section and find the title you want to remove. Hover your mouse over the title card — a three-dot menu icon should appear in the corner. Click that icon and select "Remove from Continue Watching" from the dropdown menu.

If you don't see the three-dot menu when you hover, try right-clicking directly on the title card itself. Some browsers and Peacock versions show the menu this way instead. The title will be gone from Continue Watching after you click remove.

Remove from Continue Watching on a streaming device (Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV)

Open Peacock on your streaming device and navigate to your home screen. Use your remote to highlight the title you want to remove from Continue Watching. Press the menu button on your remote (often labeled as Options, Menu, or a three-dot icon). A menu will appear with the option to remove the title — select it using your remote.

The exact button name varies by device. On Roku remotes, look for the Options button. On Fire TV remotes, press the Menu button (three horizontal lines). On Apple TV remotes, press the Menu button. If you're unsure which button to press, check your remote's manual or look for a button with three dots or lines.

What happens when you remove something from Continue Watching

Removing a title from Continue Watching only removes it from that specific list on your home screen. It does not delete the show or movie from Peacock's library, cancel your subscription, or erase your watch history. You can search for the same title later and watch it again, and your progress will still be saved if you haven't finished it.

If you remove a show and then start watching it again from the search results or a category page, it will reappear in your Continue Watching list. Peacock tracks what you've watched separately from what appears in Continue Watching, so removing something is purely a way to clean up your home screen.

Clear your entire Continue Watching list at once

Peacock does not have a built-in button to clear all of Continue Watching at once. You have to remove titles one by one using the three-dot menu method described above. If you have many items to remove, this takes a few minutes, but there's no faster way through the app or website.

Some users clear their list by removing the oldest or least-watched items first, then work through newer ones. Others remove everything they're not actively watching. There's no penalty for having a long Continue Watching list, so you can also leave it as is if you prefer.

Find removed titles again on Peacock

After you remove a title from Continue Watching, you can still find it by using the search bar at the top of the Peacock home screen. Type the show or movie name and it will appear in the search results. You can also browse by category — for example, if you removed a comedy, go to the Comedy section and scroll until you find it.

Your watch history is separate from Continue Watching. Some Peacock accounts show a "Watch History" or "Recently Watched" section where you can see titles you've removed from Continue Watching. Check your account settings or profile menu to see if this option is available on your device.

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 list on your home screen. The show or movie stays in Peacock's library and you can watch it again anytime by searching for it or finding it in a category.

Will I lose my place if I remove a show from Continue Watching?

No. Peacock saves your watch progress separately from the Continue Watching list. If you remove a show and come back to it later, you'll start from where you left off, not from the beginning.

Can I remove multiple titles at once?

No. Peacock requires you to remove titles one at a time using the three-dot menu. There is no bulk remove option or clear-all button for the entire Continue Watching list.

What if the remove option doesn't appear?

Make sure you're pressing or clicking in the right spot. On phones and tablets, try long-pressing the title card. On web browsers, hover over the card and look for a three-dot icon. On streaming devices, highlight the title and press the Menu or Options button on your remote. If it still doesn't work, try logging out and back in.

Can I undo removing something from Continue Watching?

There is no undo button. However, the title is not gone from Peacock — you can find it again by searching or browsing categories, and it will reappear in Continue Watching once you start watching it again.
