Why can’t I see an option to remove a show/series/movie from my Playlist?

Can you remove content from Continue watching?

No, at the time of writing there is no option to remove content from the Continue watching carousel on the Sky Glass home screen. 

Shows will remain on the Continue watching carousel until you’ve finished them or they’ll automatically be removed as you add and watch other shows. Otherwise, there is no direct way to delete them.
