I also have a problem that fios TV one does not give the option to autoplay series on netflix. I guess it is useless to me now and I will watch it through my Roku. I also miss the clock and the red delete c button and the yellow triangle button so much. I'm wondering if occasional 4k viewing is worth the upgrade. I think I'll switch back.
None of the previews or mini previews are showing on Netflix ? Tried going into app but not much on there as I did it through Sky so nowhere to change preferences or anything on my profile or settings ?
since the Netflix app updated on Sky q a few days ago I no longer see auto play previews. There is nothing to select this within app. Logged into my Netflix account online and it shows autoplay is enabled. How can you get autoplay back?
Does anyone from Sky read these? I am having the same problem. Netflix said firstly that it was my tv, then as I said they used to work that Sky doesn't show autoplay previews. I gave up at that point and I can't bear the thought of having to ring the Sky help line
I've spoken to Sky and it appears the new build version from Netflix for Sky app has omitted the auto preview function amongst other things when they introduced the new household sharing part. Sky told me it's down to Netflix and won't be rectified until Netflix send Sky a new build version of their app which could be weeks or months off. So it's out of Sky's hands. We need to put pressure on Netflix to produce a new build version for Sky.
I've looked at this issue and the suggested options do not work for us. Since we are using the latest Chromecast with Google TV device we've noticed that Netflix won't autoplay to the next episode. It's important to mention that this issue only happen with the Netflix app, not with other apps where autoplay works very well (like the Disney app). We cast from our phones (Android), we've tried resetting the apps on both phones, also resetting multiple times the Chromecast device, none of this works unfortunately. So, apparently something related to the Netflix app on the device itself (Chromecast with Google TV) seems to be the issue as we've also tried to play from the device (without casting, using the remote control this time) and autoplay won't work.
This may not sound like a serious problem in the grand scheme of national and universal problems, but it remains deeply annoying. Many have been the times that my family wrapped up a Sunday night episode of The Great British Baking Show only to have some wildly inappropriate-for-families preview clip begin to play. ("Daddy, what does 'Don't F*** With Cats' mean?")
Netflix was so proud of this autoplay-with-sound achievement that, in a 2016 press release, it talked up its "new television user interface that uses video more extensively to bring content alive in real time and helps members decide whether to click play." For Netflix, this was great because it led to more people watching more content. Which it probably did! I certainly tried a few things I would not have tried otherwise. But there was no way to turn it off; I soon felt nearly assaulted by the Netflix app running on my Roku.
Netflix users, who were forced to lunge for the mute button moments after finishing an episode, had similar feelings; they complained about this behavior for so long without response that many gave up hope of succor.
But on Thursday, the almighty Netflix algorithm heard our puny human cries and has taken pity upon us. Netflix users can now switch off both autoplaying previews and the "autoplay the next episode of series" feature. Simply log in to your Netflix account on a Web browser, select "Playback settings," and tick or untick the two boxes that now appear there. Bam! (This may not work immediately, but switching profiles should force the change through.)
Not all Ars staffers offered words of praise, though. Editor Aaron Zimmerman lamented, "As an enthusiast of blaring, autoplaying ads that no one asked for and everyone hates, this is devastating news."
Beyond whether this feature is helpful or frustrating is the question of how autoplay actually presents accessibility concerns. There are at least three WCAG 2.1 checkpoints to keep in mind to help answer that question.
When binge-watching Netflix on your phone, TV, or computer, you may have noticed that the subsequent episode of a TV show starts to play automatically after the one you are watching ends. This ensures you do not have to manually play the next episode and can keep the show going without interacting with the remote.
While AutoPlay Next Episode is enabled by default, you or someone who has access to your Netflix profile may have turned it off. So follow these steps to flip it back on and ensure new TV show episodes play automatically after the current one ends.
After this, Netflix should automatically play the next episode once the credits start rolling for the current episode. Note that you may have to wait a few hours for this change to take effect.
In case the problem persists and you have waited a few hours after turning on Autoplay Next Episode, consider turning off and on the phone, computer, TV, or streaming device where you are watching Netflix.
It can also happen that there is an issue with the Netflix app version currently installed on your phone, TV, or streaming device. So, head to the App Store and update the app to ensure the best experience.
If you have connected your phone or tablet using HDMI cable or adapters to your TV, just remove them. If episode autoplay starts working, that means your device does not allow Autoplay Next Episode when connected to an external TV or screen.
If your binge-watching habit has become a problem, Netflix also added the ability to turn off autoplay of the next episode of a show. (However, it seems the judgmental "Are you still watching?" screen remains alive for the rest of us.)
It might take a little while before the change to the setting takes effect, Netflix noted. However, you can force the update by switching to another profile, and then switching back to yours to reload it.
There are few more horrifying experiences than finishing a show you have spent days, weeks, or even months breathlessly enjoying, only to be fed with a garishly loud preview immediately after the final credits of your beloved show is wrapped. Instead of sitting, thoughtfully, and considering what you just spent hours of your life watching, a new preview automatically plays at the end of your show.
Or, maybe you're tired of browsing Netflix and having previews of shows you have no interest in immediately sounding off through your speakers. Maybe you didn't really want to hear the drama of Shadow and Bone blasting across the room at you while you try to find the next episode of The Circle.
Scroll down a bit, past Membership and Billing, Plan Details, and Settings. Now, select the Netflix profile you want to manage. You'll see a variety of options here, including ratings, subtitle appearance, and marketing communications.
Now you have the option of checking or unchecking the box that corresponds with autoplaying previews while browsing on all devices. You can also manage autoplaying the next episode of a series, and decide your data usage per screen here. Just click save, and you're all done.

Step 2: Once here, you'll find all kinds of information about your account, including all the profiles you have set up. You'll need to deactivate the autoplay for all profiles individually (I guess some people like the feature?). Select the account you wish to change, and scroll down to click the Playback Settings section.
Netflix noted that there may be a delay before the setting changes take over, but an update can be forced by switching profiles, then switching back to reload your own profile with the updated settings.
When the pickings are slim on Netflix, subscribers can take advantage of that programming lull to catch up on shows that they may have missed the first time. These hidden gems can be found across genres on Netflix, because no matter how much the streamer pays for original shows, something always falls through the cracks,
This list of the best hidden gems on Netflix right now is meant to give these series a spotlight they might otherwise never receive. For July, our latest selections are Loudermilk, iZombie, and Master of the House. But you can find all of our previous choices below.
If you're looking for new Netflix original movies in July, there are a handful. But even fewer that can truly be called among the best of Netflix's originals. That's not too surprising. Even during Netflix's peak, when new original movies premiered almost every week, there were more bad films than good ones. It was a classic quantity over quality situation.
Netflix hasn't entirely fixed that disparity in 2024, but there are two new originals worth checking out this month. The first is the action comedy Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, and the second is the new rom-com Find Me Falling. You can catch these films and more in our roundup of the best Netflix original movies right now.
August is typically a quiet month for the entertainment industry, but Netflix didn't get that memo. The popular streamer has stacked its schedule for the month with enough original new series, returning fan favorites, and compelling licensed content to keep you glued to your television.
One big highlight that streams right at the beginning of the month is A Good Girl's Guide to Murder, a BBC co-production that stars Wednesday's Emma Myers. Other notable premieres include Lee Daniels' new film The Deliverance, the teen comedy Incoming, and new seasons of Emily in Paris and The Umbrella Academy.
