How do I go back to a previous episode in Apple TV

I wish I could but, when I type in the name of the show in search, it only takes me to Up Next.

Find your show, but not through Up Next (any other listing will work, including Search). That will bring you to that show’s Details page. Then scroll down a bit to see a row of episodes. Scroll horizontally to find your wanted episode. Click the episode image to start watching that episode.

How do i continue to a second episode?

For what? For an Apple TV+ TV show episode? For an Apple TV Store purchase? For a show from a third party app or channel? Can you specify the title? On what device does this happen?

it does not automatically continue forward.

It should show the next episode at the end of the current episode, if a next unwatched episode is available yet (that may not have happened yet for new shows with a weekly release schedule).

how do i select different episodes?

Users may select the show itself, rather than an episode, e.g. by finding it outside of Up Next. On this show’s Details page, you will find a complete list of available episodes, below the big preview video or image. Select the poster frame for an episode to start that episode. You should find checkmark overlays for watched episodes, and a progress line overlay for partially watched episodes.

why does search just spin?

I don’t know. It is quite responsive for me, whether I search something popular, or something obscure, or something non-existent. Does this happen while connected to your home network?

None of the recommendations on this page work. I've searched out several listings for my show (Bloody Hundredth) and always its "resume episode," when I click the link. I literally can't finish this series because I missed the last half of the previous episode. I've been at this for 20 minutes and I'm really at my wits end with Apple.

I agree. I had a **** of a time going back to E1 in Manhunt rather than resume E3. One needs a **** notebook to write down where you left off on each program. Very difficult to manage! Only reason we bought it is for SOCCER!

The Bloody Hundredth is a companion documentary (1 ‘episode’ of 62 mins.) to the Masters of the Air drama series (9 episodes). The Bloody Hundredth isn’t divided into multiple episodes.

how do i select different episodes?

why does search just spin?

Me too. It shouldn't be this difficult to find all the episodes and select the first one. Why would I start at the 10th one???
