iPhone landscape option not working when I turn the phone
An iTunes show I purchased on my iPhone X will not go to landscape mode when I turn it to its side. It will work with any streaming service.

Hey pdmeloon,
If you haven't already, double-check the Portrait Orientation Lock button in the Control Center. Here's how: Rotate the screen on your iPhone or iPod touch - Apple Support
The screen on your iPhone and iPod touch can rotate so you can see apps in portrait or landscape mode. Learn how to rotate the screen on your iPhone or iPod touch, or get help if the feature doesn't work.
Some apps don't support rotation, so your screen might not rotate even if Portrait Orientation Lock isn't turned on.
Rotate the screen on an iPhone without a Home button
1. Swipe down from the top-right corner of your screen to open Control Center.
2. Tap the Portrait Orientation Lock buttonto make sure that it's off.
3. Turn your iPhone sideways.
4. If the screen still doesn't rotate, try a different app — like Safari or Messages — which are known to work in landscape mode.
If that's not the case, quit the app and restart your iPhone to see if fresh connections help:
Close an app on your iPhone or iPod touch - Apple Support
Restart your iPhone - Apple Support
Keep us posted on the results.
Take care!
