You Need to Try These Netflix Secret Codes

There’s something exciting about a secret menu. It’s that knowledge that you know some insider information that others might not, and maybe that gives you some sort of advantage. Well, the same can be said for Netflix, which, if you didn’t know, has a bunch of secret codes you can play around with.

Now, Netflix’s secret codes have been pretty well documented up until this point, so they might not be as secret as they once were. However, what you might not have known is that new codes are being added to Netflix all the time.

As per a blog on Tudum earlier this year, Netflix’s secret category codes date back to the very early days of the company and now span a list of over 36,000 different options.

How do Netflix’s secret codes work?

If you’re new to Netflix’s category codes, allow us to spill the secrets. To check them out, all you need to do is first have a Netflix account, then open Netflix on your web browser, type in “netflix.com.au/browse/genre” and then add the ID code of your choice at the end.

Hitting enter will bring you up with some very specific search results, helping you browse through Netflix’s extensive catalogue and find the niche of your choice.

Note that this is for browser use only and won’t work on your Netflix apps.

What are some of the best codes to check out?

According to Tudum, new Netflix codes are added “whenever inspiration strikes” meaning new ones show up all the time. Some themes, like Human Connections, popped up due to the melancholy folks felt during COVID, while others are timed around a holiday or celebration.
