Netflix Secret Codes List to Unlock Hidden Categories

Learn how to use Netflix codes to unlock hidden categories with different movies and series than you're used to

Did you know that Netflix has specific — but very specific — categories, such as acid humour, suspense classics, and British series — hidden from the interface? You can unlock these categories with Netflix secret codes without mystery.

These Netflix categories are not hidden on purpose but serve to organize the “digital shelves” of the streaming service and recommend content to users. These categories are accessed by Netflix codes that unlock these lists.

How to use Netflix’s Hidden Codes

The operation of the system in question is based on hidden codes. As they explain well on Netflix-codes.com, each code is associated with a different category, and by accessing each of the categories, we will only see the associated content.

The bad news anyway is that you probably won’t be able to use the Netflix codes in apps for smartphones or TVs, just in an internet browser. To get started, the user must be logged into their account using a browser.

  1. On your phone or computer, open the browser app.
  2. In the search bar, enter the address “https://netflix.com/browse/genre/X”
  3. Change the “X” of the URL to any of the codes corresponding to one of the categories.

And that’s it. Below, we offer you the complete list of hidden Netflix codes to access the different categories. If you do not want to carry out the previous process manually, you can also tap directly on each of the codes and you will be directed to the page of the corresponding category.

There’s so much more…

Still, the number of 200 hidden categories isn’t even close to every section Netflix has ever created for its catalog. As The Atlantic discovered in 2014, Netflix’s streaming service had 76,897 categories of movies and series.

On another page, Finder.com/netflix/genre-list (which may take a long time to load or crash your browser), are listed 27,002 hidden categories from Netflix, a number that is still far from the 70,000 revealed by The Atlantic for containing items such as “Asian horror movies with a strong woman as the protagonist”.

Tell us, what did you think was cool in these categories?

If you find any more, write them in the comments.
