TV Shows Language streams

Why oh why can we not have multi-language content for tv shows like for movies. Would be great for multilingual families!

Hello oliver369,


Thanks for that info and choosing the Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you want to watch TV shows from the iTunes Store in different languages and alternative audio tracks. To help you with this, please follow this positioning from this resource on your situation:

TV shows that you buy from the iTunes Store come with only one audio track. You'll see two versions of a TV show available for purchase if an alternate language is available.

Whilst, I understand this is the current situation. Go out to your local retail shop and you will for sure not have to buy duplicate copies. If you want the same language.

Feels very unlike Apple that this has been done half-hearted.

Amazon Prime Video's TV Shows are for instance showing in multi language - so I guess they should get their act together :)
