Hi handpg2,
It looks like there are several options for downloading episodes of a TV show.
iTunes Store download options
When you buy a TV season or Season Pass, you'll see these options:
- Later: Don't download any episodes now. You can download your episodes later from iTunes in the Cloud.
- Download All: Download all available episodes.
- Download: Download the earliest unseen episode of the season. For example:
- If you haven't downloaded any episodes from a season, episode 1 of that season will download.
- If you've previously bought or downloaded episode 3 of a season, episode 4 of that season will download.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
