Whether you’re tired of the best Netflix shows or best Netflix movies and want something different, or just want a simpler way to find the things you like, using Netflix secret codes makes searching a whole lot easier. In short, Netflix secret codes are a number that you enter in the search bar to bring up specific categories. While they don’t literally unlock hidden Netflix content, they do allow you to see categories that you can’t usually find by searching the traditional way. What’s more, Netflix secret codes allow you to discover a load of content you didn’t know was there. Want to know more about Netflix secret codes? Check out our guide on how to use them.
How to use Netflix secret codes
Using the Netflix secret codes isn’t as easy as some think. Some say you enter the code in the search bar on the Netflix app or website. But that doesn’t always work! The best way to use Netflix search codes is with a web browser.
- Simply open Netflix, and you should see this at the top of your screen:
- Then, and type in “/genre/” (without the quotation marks) and the code number, after the URL — (i.e. “netflix.com/browse/genre/43040” for Action Comedies).
- Hit Enter and you’ll get the page you’re looking for. You can try to do this without a web browser, but results are less precise. For example, if you want to see a list of British TV shows, simply enter the code 52117 in the search bar. Or if you’re a fan of Korean dramas, that’s 5685. It’s worth noting that certain codes only work in certain regions, so some of the codes below may not work for you. We’ll also add that some of the tagging is a little off, to say the least. Tag ‘77232’ is supposedly Asian Action Movies, but the Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot-starring Red Notice is in there, as is Matt Damon’s Elysium and Zack Snyder’s Army of Thieves. Below, we’ve listed all known Netflix secret codes. Have fun!
