Dec. 5, 2018

What are Netflix Codes?

Netflix offers a variety of genres you can browse like Action thrillers, Adventures, Dramas, Sports, etc. But there’s a whole treasure trove of hidden categories that you may never have explored. To help you discover even more specific movies and shows tailored to your interests, Netflix offers a bunch of genres that you can access by entering some unique codes.

When you use these codes, you’ll be able to unlock a more personalized Netflix experience. These codes help you refine your Netflix searches to find exactly what you’re in the mood for.

Before you learn how to use secret Netflix codes to get to those hidden Netflix genres, here’s a list of all the secret Netflix codes and the genres they correspond to.

Yeah, there are a lot of these, aren’t they?

Netflix codes can only be used when you’re browsing Netflix on the web. This means you won’t be able to use these codes to access genres on the Netflix app on your phone, tablet, or TV.

For instance, if you want to watch some 90-minute family movies on Netflix, you need to enter 81466229 in place of[NETFLIX CODE], which is the code for this specific genre. In this case, the URL for the genre would look like this:HTTPS://WWW.NETFLIX.COM/BROWSE/GENRE/81466229

This will prompt Netflix to show all the movies based on the chosen genre and you should see a screen that resembles the one below:

While all that is well and good, not all of us watch Netflix exclusively on a laptop, right? So, What do you do if you want to browse a genre on the Netflix app on your Smart TV, iPhone, iPad, Android device, PS4, or Xbox One? It’s simple. You will have to manually enter the genre name on the app, not the code that’s assigned to it.

For example, let’s say I want to check out the genre “Comic Book and Superhero Movies”. Since I cannot use the genre code on the Netflix app, you’ll have to do it using these steps:

This sure is a pretty lengthy way of getting these secret Netflix codes to work. It would definitely have been much easier if Netflix allowed you to enter codes on the search box instead of the genre names they correspond to.

Well, that was all about secret Netflix codes and how you can use them on a PC or the Netflix app on other devices. We make sure this list of secret Netflix codes is updated when the platform adds new genres.
