Netflix hides hundreds of subcategories that are inaccessible from the standard interface. A simple coded pasted into the URL netflix.com/browse/genre/[CODE] is enough to unlock movies and TV shows sorted by specific genre, from psychological thrillers to horror movies.
Here is the complete list of secret codes Netflix, sorted by category.
How to Use Netflix Secret Codes
Netflix categorizes its films, series and documentaries in hundreds of hidden subcategories, each associated with a specific number. These categories don't appear in the standard interface, but you can access them in just a few seconds.
Just type this address into your browser's address bar, replacing CODE by entering the desired number:
- netflix.com/browse/genre/CODE
For example, type netflix.com/browse/genre/10118 to display all of the superhero movies. Just change the numbers at the end, and you can switch from one genre to another without having to scroll for hours.
Want a romantic comedy, from a film by zombiesa psychological thriller Or even a well-crafted satire? A tag takes you straight to the right category, whereas a standard search by genre is far too broad.
Fans of stand-up comedy or gangster movies will also find something to their liking in the documentary and comedy subcategories.
Please note: these secret codes Netflix are internal to the platform and are not officially documented. Netflix may modify, disable, or move some of them without warning. A code may therefore vary depending on your region or stop working over time. If one of them no longer works, try the URL directly to check.
List of Netflix Secret Codes
Each subcategory has its own number. To unlock a hidden catalog, you have two options:
- Go to netflix.com/browse/genre/[CODE] from your browser, replacing [CODE] with the number you're interested in.
- Or just type the code directly into the search bar from the menu Netflix to go faster.
