A montage at the end of an episode to entice the viewer into watching the next week's episode. Often used in conjunction with a To Be Continued, and often implies that loose end plotlines will be tied up. Usually done by the network, rather than being bundled with the episode itself. As with other promos, the scenes and quotes are often taken out of context to mislead the viewer. This is especially true of daytime soap operas, which as a rule drag stories out longer than their fans would like. However, some shows' next episode previews have been believed to spoil too much...

  • A montage at the end of an episode to entice the viewer into watching the next week's episode.

This is especially true of daytime soap operas, which as a rule drag stories out longer than their fans would like. "On the Next..." used to be fairly common, but has been largely phased out except in Japan (More common these days is a commercial for the next episode over the credits). Anime still makes extensive use of this trope, where it's become increasingly common to add Omake gags, chitchat between the characters, and other nonsense which doesn't really tell you anything "serious" about the next episode. They can also become a good excuse for No Fourth Wall jokes. This may explain why shows tend to have very short trailers nowadays. If a trailer shows much less than normal and has no dialogue, or just one word, be warned that it's probably going to be a disturbing episode. However, some shows' next episode previews have been believed to spoil too much... Contrast "Previously On...". Compare Precap, "Find Out Next Time!". Sometimes comes with a catchphrase. Examples of "On the Next..." include:
