Netflix secret codes: Supercharge your streaming with this list

Netflix offers movies and TV shows to suit every taste. But beyond the usual categories lies a hidden world of even more specific genres waiting to be discovered.

This guide reveals the secrets of Netflix’s hidden codes, a nifty trick that opens the door to an extensive collection of niche categories.

What are secret codes on Netflix?

When you’re browsing on Netflix, you’ll find categories like horror, romance, and documentaries. There are many to choose from, but these are broad categories. Secret codes give you access to niche categories — categories within categories.

Secret codes are numbers you can put at the end of your URL to find hyper-specific movie lists on Netflix. Say you want to only browse through a list of Christmas movies, or Japanese horror. You can find the codes for these genres and use them to search only for movies that belong to that genre.

How to use Netflix secret codes?

There are two steps to this process:

• Enter this URL into your browser: http://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/
• After the last slash in the URL above, input the Netflix code you want to look up. The full list is below.
