Because Plex Universal Watchlist captures what you want to watch, we’ll always be able to tell you where to watch it, even if it’s no longer on the service you first saw it on. Plex will even show you newly available titles from your Universal Watchlist when they are on one of your services. This means no more scrolling for hours on end looking for something to enjoy. If the title isn’t available on a service you have, simply add it to the new Plex Universal Watchlist, a simple way to keep track of anything you want to watch.

Plex is the first and only streaming platform to offer free ad-supported movies, shows, and live TV together with the ability to easily search for any title ever made and create a customized watch list for all the movies and shows you’re interested in, regardless of where they are. Starting today, with two major updates, global streaming media platform Plex becomes the only app you need to find any movie or show, acting as one window into ALL your paid and free streaming services.

Read more about what’s going on in these Plex and reddit threads. Update 4/7: Plex users have spoken out about an issue for children with the new Watchlist being a backdoor into watching restricted content.

Plex is out today with a big update to its platform UI including its Apple TV and Android TV apps.
