We’re aware of an issue with the PBS app on Roku where users browsing between seasons of select shows will be kicked out of the app to the Roku home screen. It does not affect all shows, and users are not kicked out when going to episodes directly from the app search. We are currently testing a fix that will be included with the next app update for Roku, to be released soon.

A fix has been released for this bug. Users can update to app version 5.9.2 on their Roku devices to receive the fix.
