Peacock, the streaming service from NBCUniversal, offers a wide variety of movies and TV shows to its users. However, if you’re like me, you may have found yourself with a Continue Watching list that’s overflowing with shows you’ve already finished or lost interest in. Fortunately, it’s easy to remove shows from your Continue Watching list on Peacock. Here’s how to do it:
1. Open the Peacock app on your device and sign in to your account.
2. From the home screen, select the “Continue Watching” tab.
3. Find the show you want to remove from your list and select it.
4. On the show’s page, select the “Remove from Continue Watching” option.
5. A confirmation message will appear. Select “Yes, Remove” to confirm your action.
And that’s it! The show will now be removed from your Continue Watching list. You can repeat these steps to remove any other shows you no longer want to see in your list. Additionally, you can also hide shows from your Continue Watching list by selecting the “Hide” option instead of the “Remove” option. This will remove the show from your list but will not delete it from your account.
