Drop a show

is there a way to drop a show?

For example, ive seen the 3 seasons of Umbrella Academy, now i lost interest and i dont want to see season 4.

How can i make it to not show on my upcoming episodes list?

You should be able to hide the show with the small ‘:no_entry_sign:’ button.

What user said above is accurate. Hiding show will hide it and it will maintain where you left off.

If you really have no interest in ever coming back to the show and don’t want what you watched to remain in your history/records, you can go into the show and remove watched status for all episodes.

You can do this by going into the show details page from the trakt app, then click on the + where it shows % watched, then view all history. Then remove watch status for all.

I wouldn’t recommend removing the plays since that would affect your stats, etc. We’re looking into making the hidden/dropped status more clear in a future update. For now though you can hide from your progress and calendar to effectively “drop” the show.

Thank you , really appreciate :pray:

That’s awesome, thank you

Hiding isn’t the optimal solution for this problem a global “don’t want anymore” is better than hiding the show in different places. Maybe even with a note for why we dropped it.

I just want to remove the show from the future. I do not have the ability to hit ignore (it shows in upcoming but not up next, so there is no button to hit). I have already deleted everything I can think of (watched history, watchlist, etc.) and it STILL won’t stop telling me about it in Upcoming.

If you don’t want it to show up in Upcoming, you have to hide it from the Calendar:

Isn’t this essentially the same thing just under a different name?
What I wanted when requesting this feature 10 years ago, and what I assume many others want, is a specific list where we can easily see ours and others dropped shows along with their progress. Adding a “dropped” category to trakt.tv/users/user/progress would be simple enough I think.

I can’t get dropped shows to actually drop. On page refresh, they’re still in my Up Next.

What do you mean by that?
Do you have a specific show as an example?
Can you take a screenshot?

Preparing to click drop show.

Seems acknowledged…

After refreshing on all devices.

I think this is happening because you only watched a special of that show, so it’s not counting as ‘watched’. I’ll inform the developers about that.

In the meantime, if you want, you can hide the 4 seasons of that show, and it will be hidden from your progress section.

How do you hide shows now? The only interaction I see anymore is Drop.

You can click that icon after expanding the seasons (clicking on 'View Seasons").

Since we now have the option to ‘drop’ a show, you can only hide seasons (this is mostly used on shows you don’t want to watch earlier seasons, for example).

i’m having the same thing with a couple of anime. would be cool if the devs can fix it like you mentioned but i can hide those seasons for now hopefully. those two anime are also only the specials (the OVAs) that i’ve seen
