I changed my TV app language to Spanish and now I can't change it back to English. English and Default/Original are not in the list. I have tried reinstalling but that doesn't change anything. Same on my iPad 2019 and iPad Pro gen 4. Thanks.

Mine is the same as yours, no English in the list. I thought you meant in iPad settings,
From the show, it only changes the subtitles, not the audio. I tested French Audio to see if they spoke French but this only changed the subtitles to French. The language options are not working in this show, they only adjust the subtitles

This might be the fix:
Try another show, Try Tiny World. I just tested that one and it was stuck on French from the Tehran one I had tested first. It has a correct list to select English - Click Done. Hopefully this works for you and should change it for all shows.
To be clear, is this on your iPad , so I can check this show on mine
I tested one small part, it was English with English subtitles. Maybe there are parts where they speak a foreign language?
How were you able to change it to Spanish? In settings > TV App?
It’s the only place I can see where you can change the language for Apple TV App.
If reinstalling the app didn’t help, I’m not sure what else can fix it. Unless you take it out of the up next, continue watching, mark it as watched. Then restart it fresh. If the file was faulty, I’d have it as well. Sounds more like it’s something you did on your iPad. Which only a reset all settings might fix, this means you start setting up your iPad from scratch though, so not the best fix.
How did it end up on both though? Did you change it on both? I ask this because I wonder if your Apple ID marked this as a preference for this show and signing out of that on both iPads might work
Try restarting your iPad until the Apple logo appears,
see if you can add language; type in English to see if it comes up.
Hi,thanks again for your suggestions, however mine worked.
Please we the image below. This is on the Audio/Sub menu of the show - English isn't there. Spanish is off screen, but ticked. English is in the subtle list. Adding English to the TV settings menu does nothing. Looks like the meta data for the episodes hasn't been set correctly.
Hi, thanks for your reply.
Yes I see that the default language is Hebrew. Mine was in English until a changed it to Spanish :(
The list of languages in the text description shows English, but it isn't in the language selection for the episodes. I think that this is an admin problem ie someone forgot to enter it. I don't know if there is any way to get it fixed.
Ok, try also the main language setting first so it recognizes your preference, then try tv app language again.
Further to this issue, it appears to only affect Terahn the new TV show. I assume the default is used until you select a language. But in this case it can't be changed back.
I think this is a non English show, although mine is in English
Hi, yes this is in my iPad. If you change the language away from English there is no way to change it back.
Thanks for all your suggestions. I used the link to contact support. It will be interesting to see if they fix it.
They should fix this one. It’s the same on the Apple TV Box also. Usually though it’s when more people report it. I sent in feedback as well.
They fixed it! Thanks for your help.
