full screen display disappears for TV app and can't figure out how to get it back

I open the TV app on my mac and watch a movie in full screen. If I open another app, the full screen disappears.

I can see the TV app, I can hear the movie playing, but I can't see it and can't figure out how to get that screen back.

The only thing I can do is to close the TV app, reopen it, and resume the movie.

How do I find the hidden screen that is showing the movie and get it to display again?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.5

Sounds silly, but it takes a reboot of the machine to get your viewing window back. That's what worked for me.
