The secret Netflix codes that unlock thousands of hidden movies and TV shows
With Netflix’s ever expanding library of shows and films, you’d think it would be easy to find something you want to watch. There are hundreds of genres and sub-genres of films and shows to choose from, so why is it so difficult to make a selection?
You think there might be something better just around the corner, so you just keep on scrolling.
However, there are secret Netflix codes that can cut your search time down dramatically, giving you more time to enjoy the shows and movies you actually want to watch.
For example: You just want to see every Christmas movie on Netflix? There's a code for that.
How the secret Netflix codes work
Note: This only works if you’re watching Netflix through a browser. It doesn’t work on the app.
If you’re logged into Netflix (you need to have a valid subscription for this to work), type the URL www.netflix.com/browse/genre/XXXX.
Replace the XXXX with the numerical code (below) that corresponds to the genre or sub-genre that you’re looking for, and it will take you directly to the Netflix films or shows in that genre.
You’ll find hosts of previously unseen or hidden films and shows that simply don’t surface using Netflix’s own system.
It’s that simple. Here’s the full list of genres and codes for your perusal.
Not all codes may work immediately, or in all regions, as Netflix is constantly changing how it works, but they should help you find some hidden gems.
