In the Apple TV app on your Windows device, select Home in the sidebar, scroll to the Up Next row, then navigate left or right to see shows you’ve recently watched or added to Up Next.
Shows and movies appear in the order you’re most likely to want to watch them. For example, when a TV episode is finished, the next episode automatically appears in Up Next. And if you’ve already caught up on a show, whenever a new episode becomes available, it immediately appears in the beginning of the Up Next row.
If you have an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple TV and are signed in with the same Apple ID you use for Windows, your viewing progress and episode selection stay in sync in the Apple TV app on those devices. For example, you can start watching a show on your Windows device and finish watching it on your iPad, or vice versa.
