Is there a way to restore the autoplay “binge” feature of the Apple TV app on an Apple TV 4k? It suddenly stopped working, which is forcing me to manually trigger the next episode. Not only that but if I don’t trigger it before the current episode completely ends then it won’t let me without going back to the “up next” menu. It’s really annoying.
Hello CrashOverride,
Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
These steps can help you with Up next:
"See what’s up next
The Up Next row displays content you’ve already started to watch or plan to watch.
, navigate to the Up Next row, then navigate left or right to see shows you’ve recently watched or added to Up Next.Add a movie or TV show to Up Next
, select an item to see its rating, description, available channels, and purchase or rental information.More details can be found here: Watch Now in the Apple TV app
If the issue persists, can you provide a few more details? When did you first notice this? Does this work on any of your other devices? Also, what is your exact tvOS version?
Cheers!

I'm running TVOS 16.3 on an Apple TV 4k (last generation). Up until this update it would automatically play the next episode in a series when I was watching something via Apple TV app. That feature has apparently disappeared or I don't know how to turn the function back on. It does show the next episode as available and if I don't manually trigger it and the episode completely ends I have to go all the way back to "up next" and then manually trigger the next episode to play. In all honesty, I don't want to go through the process of resetting it if that's the ultimate suggestion. I just find it annoying that this feature has disappeared.
I figured it out. It turns out that a setting in accessibility had been turned off that prevented the auto-play feature. I switched it back and it's working perfectly again. Thank you for the assistance.
Hello CrashOverride,
Nice work solving this issue with auto-play on the Apple TV!
Wishing you a lovely week, take care.
Hello CrashOverride,
If the steps in that article have not helped in getting a series to autoplay, we would recommend that you contact Apple Support directly to explore your options.
Best regards.
