How to Change Netflix Profiles
Another way to deal with the “continue watching” list on Netflix is to keep your viewing habits separated within different profiles. If you want to rewatch a series, for example, or your roommate wants to watch a movie you’ve already seen, you can build a separate profile to make a fresh “continue watching” list. Now, as you browse through Netflix, the deleted items will no longer appear in your “continue watching” queue. However, Netflix will still use this information in its recommendation algorithms, so you might still receive recommendations based on the show/movie you removed from the list. You can have up to five profiles on a single account. Learn how to create a new Netflix profile if you need help.
