Whether you want to acknowledge the contributions of the many ‘below-the-line’ entertainment industry professionals who worked on your favorite streaming movies and TV shows, or you just want time to get a snack before the next episode rolls, it’s a good idea to turn on the ‘watch credits’ option on your streaming service.
Netflix, Hulu, et. al. don’t necessarily make this super-easy to do—it should be opt-in, not opt-out—but here’s a guide for how to watch the credits on Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max, Hulu, and Disney+.
