Although Disney Plus officially added the restart function, based on our tests in March of 2021, it did not appear on the browser or mobile app versions of the service. If the ‘Restart’ button does not appear, you can still easily restart your favorite shows and movies.

It’s a piece of cake now that Disney has finally implemented the new Restart feature. Just keep in mind you need to do a search for the show rather than go through the ‘Continue Watching’ section. If you do the latter, it will automatically resume the show where you left off and the option to ‘Restart’ will not appear.

Follow these steps to play something from the beginning on Disney Plus: Log into the Disney website or launch the app on your device. Use the search feature to find the show or movie you’d like to watch from the beginning.

After you have opened the site or the app, find the Continue Watching list on your home screen. Click on the desired episode or movie and click on Play. You can also rewatch an episode of a show or an entire movie on Disney Plus. Follow these steps to play something from the beginning on Disney Plus:

How much is Disney Plus?

Disney+ is available for $6.99 per month as a standalone subscription and $12.99 per month as a bundle with Hulu and ESPN+. If you want to learn more about Disney+ content or its various pricing options, the Daily Dot has extensive coverage of the new platform.

Disney+ customers now have more choices for how and when they watch. Disney+ had a massive launch on Nov. 12, but it wasn’t without its issues. One unexpected problem users encountered was the lack of “Resume” and “Restart” options on the service.

The “Add to Watchlist” feature makes it easier to navigate the Disney+ library if you happen upon content you want to watch later. These new options are not available on every device yet (they’re not listed on the Disney+ website), but given the expanse of the rollout, all Disney+ users should see an update shortly.

I’m really annoyed at the fact that Disney+ doesn’t have a “resume” button. — chynna jo (@chynnajo) November 16, 2019. Disney+ complaint: Theres no way to see what you’ve been watching, there’s no option to restart a show from the beginning, and there’s no way to pick up in a series where you left off.

Although these additions are welcome, Disney+ has not solved every problem. Other options that streaming customers have come to expect, such as “Continue Watching” and “Autoplay,” are not yet enabled, but were reportedly tested during the Netherlands beta launch.
