Releases

Watch Plan

• A new row on Home lays out what you’re behind on, a night at a time, and says when you’ll be caught up.
• It fits around what you’ve scheduled and what you’ve added to Up Next, and counts what you’ve already watched today.
• New episodes go on the night they air, and films you want to see on the day they reach your services.
• Choose how long a night runs and the order: airing first, most or least behind, fewest episodes left, or your own Up Next order. Plan from everything, just Up Next, or one of your collections, with or without films.
• Still to Watch lists everything in the plan and each title’s share of the time. Switch any of them out.
• Hold a card to keep it on that night, skip it, mark it seen, or leave it out of the plan.
