    You can turn this off but it can only be done from a computer or on a phone using desktop view…

    While logged into Netflix on a browser, you’ll need to follow these steps:

    • Account
    • Pick your profile under profile and parental controls
    • Change playback settings
    • Uncheck the 2nd box for autoplaying previews

      Isn’t that just for stopping the previews only when hovering over a title from the home screen, for instance? Doesn’t that exclude when you open the page for a show/movie, like to read it’s synopsis/cast? (the point the OP is making)

      To my memory, there is still no option to stop the auto-start.

        I tested it in the iPhone app and it doesn’t autoplay when clicking on the link. Maybe that’s just mobile and not web/TV apps
