Q: Download single iTunes episode problem

HI there

I watched the first episode of a series and deleted from iPad after use. I then selected second episode to download but iTunes is trying to download both episodes and will not let me pause or delete the download if the first episode.. I dont have enough storage for both and even if I do I definitely won't have enough storage to have all downloaded at the same time.. Any help appreciated! Thanks

iPad, iOS 9.3.2

Hello Eilah_Rose!

From what you've said, you're wanting to stop the download of the first episode of the TV series so you're able to watch the second episode after watching the first. I'd certainly want to be able to watch my show and we can check a few things.
If you haven't yet, go ahead with force closing the iTunes Store app and restarting the iPad:
Force an app to close on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Then before trying to download the second episode again, you can check Settings > iTunes & App Store and turn off Automatic Downloads in case that was on and could be behind the first episode still trying to download.

Best wishes.
