rewatching

Seeing it twice

Rewatching is watching something again—a movie, TV series, or video you've seen before.

The word implies intentional return rather than accidental repetition: I've been rewatching The Office during quarantine.

People rewatch for comfort, nostalgia, or to catch details they missed the first time.
