10 Secret Netflix Codes to Unlock Hidden Content

Want something new to watch on Netflix, but getting the same old recommendations again and again? Shhh, come closer, have you heard about Netflix’s secret codes?

With these codes, you can bypass the recommendations given by the algorithm and search the full catalogue of movies and TV shows! The algorithm is based on what you have previously watched, rated and also what Netflix wants you to see, such as any sponsored content.

Each code unlocks a dedicated page to a specific movie or TV show genre making it way easier to search - maybe even find something you wouldn’t have considered watching previously. The code system is how Netflix organises its content. Being aware of this can open many more movies and shows for you…

How to Input the code?

You can enter the secret Netflix codes from your web browser or app by following these simple steps:

Via a smart TV or Amazon Firestick

1. Go to the ‘Search icon 🔎’ in your Netflix app.
2. Just enter one of the codes below (instead of typing a movie title).
3. That’s it, simples, see I told you!

Via a digital device (i.e. mobile, tablet, computer)

1. Open your browser.
2. Go to the Netflix homepage and sign in to your account.
3. Type https://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/[code] into the address bar.
4. Replace [code] with the specific code for your chosen movie genre (as given below).

So your final URL should look a little something like this...
