Netflix stuck on the loading screen and won't play
Netflix is stuck because the app has lost its connection or got confused. Close the app completely and reopen it. This fixes it. If it's still stuck, restart your device.
When Netflix gets stuck on the loading screen, it means the app can't reach Netflix's servers or something is blocking the connection. A fresh start clears this. First close the app fully, then reopen it. If that doesn't work, restarting your device refreshes the connection to Netflix.
