How to Find the Episode List on Apple TV

To find the episode list on Apple TV, open the show’s page in the Apple TV app and scroll down. Apple’s Apple TV 4K User Guide says that when the page for a TV show opens, you can “scroll down to view specific episodes, trailers, related items, and additional details.”

Navy summary card, how to find the episode list on Apple TV: open the Apple TV app on Apple TV 4K, open the sidebar and pick a tab such as Home, then select the show and scroll down to the episodes.

Open the show, then scroll down

These steps are for the Apple TV app on Apple TV 4K, taken from Apple’s user guide for tvOS 27.

  1. Go to the Apple TV app on Apple TV 4K.
  2. Open the sidebar, then select a tab, such as Home.
  3. Browse the tab until you find the show.
  4. Select the show, then scroll down its page to the episodes.

The same page has a play option too. Apple says you “can play the item (if available)” from there.

Search for the show by name

A show that is not on your Home screen can still be found by name. Apple says Search lets you “Find TV shows and movies by title, cast, or crew.”

  1. Go to the Apple TV app on Apple TV 4K.
  2. Open the sidebar, then select Search.
  3. Enter the show’s name in the search field.
  4. Select the show.

Apple’s Search steps end on that item, where Apple says you can “see ratings, descriptions, and purchase or rental information.” Apple’s scroll down for episodes step sits in its Browse steps above. Follow those steps when you want the episode list.

Find episodes of a show you bought or rented

Shows you bought or rented live in Library. Apple says the Library screen “includes your purchases and rentals, organized by category.”

  1. Go to the Apple TV app on Apple TV 4K.
  2. Open the sidebar, then select Library.
  3. Browse your shows, or pick a category or genre in the Library sidebar to filter them.
  4. Select the show.

Apple’s last Library step reads “Select a movie to play it, or select a TV show to see available episodes.”

Shared purchases show up here as well. Apple says “If you’ve set up Family Sharing with your Apple Account, your other family members’ purchases appear in your library.”

For more on that screen, see our guide on how to get to your library on an Apple TV.

White card, episodes of shows you bought or rented on Apple TV: open the sidebar and select Library, browse or filter by category or genre, then select the show to see available episodes.

Pick up a show you already started

To jump back into a show, select it in the Continue Watching row. Apple says that row lets you “immediately pick up where you left off.”

Apple’s note places that row on the Home screen, showing movies, TV shows and live sports from channels you subscribe to in the Apple TV app.

To move ahead after an episode ends, see how to get to the next episode on Apple TV. To have the next one start by itself, read how to get episodes to autoplay on Apple TV.

If an episode or a button is missing

What you see can depend on where you live and which device you use. Apple’s guide says “Not all features and content are available in all countries or regions, or on all streaming devices.”

The two Apple pages used here, Find things to watch and View your library in the Apple TV app, give steps for the Apple TV app only. If you get lost on the box itself, our guide to getting to the main menu on an Apple TV brings you back to the start.
