Does Apple have autoplay?

I've been searching around and cannot find a 100% conclusive answer on autoplay/next episode. I just want the shows that I've bought from iTunes to automatically play the next episode without requiring manual intervention. Is this possible?

Thanks.

Yes play them via the ATV app.

By having them appear in the up next?

Yes, play from there and the next episode will automatically queue up and play the next one.

The up next comes up at the end of the episode and then just stops. I can not get it to auto play

TL/DR: Is there a way to make Apple TV have an autoplay function like Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, or basically any other streaming service?

I purchased The Office complete series on iTunes. Is there a way to have the episodes play continuously? I have an Apple TV 3rd Generation and a Fire Stick with the Apple TV app. Ironically, the Fire Stick has better results - the next episode shows up in the "Up Next" row at the bottom, it just doesn't start unless you do it yourself.

Any help here is greatly appreciated!

Play a song, then have similar songs autoplay. Or queue up music that you want to play next. Share control of your queue. And transfer your queue between your iPhone and HomePod so you can keep listening without missing a beat — all with Apple Music.

Autoplay takes the work out of choosing what to play next. Just play a song, then Autoplay finds similar songs and plays them afterward.

To see your Autoplay queue:

  1. Tap the song that's playing at the bottom of your screen.
  2. In the lower-right corner of your screen, tap Playing Next

    .
  3. Scroll down to Autoplay. 

To turn Autoplay on or off, tap the Autoplay button

 in the upper-right corner of your screen. If you turn off Autoplay on one of your devices, then Autoplay is turned off on any device that's signed in with your Apple ID.

If you play music that's not in your queue, you'll see an option to clear your music queue. If you choose Clear, then the music in your queue is replaced with the music you've selected to play.

If you're at a friend's house or have guests over, you can all add music to the queue on an Apple TV or HomePod. Everyone that wants to add music needs a subscription to Apple Music and an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

  1. Connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to the same Wi-Fi network as the Apple TV or HomePod.
  2. On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, open the Apple Music app.
  3. Tap the player at the bottom of the screen.
  4. Tap AirPlay

Update your HomePod and iPhone to the latest version of iOS. Then you can transfer what you're listening to between the two devices automatically, or with just a tap.

  • To transfer what's playing on your iPhone to HomePod, bring your iPhone within 3 feet of your HomePod. Then tap the message on your iPhone that says Play on HomePod.
  • To automatically transfer what's playing back and forth between your iPhone and HomePod, just hold your iPhone close to the top of your HomePod.

HomePod isn't available in all countries and regions.
