The streaming behemoth has a secret menu with hundreds of hidden titles not available on the main platform.
Codes associated with a specific genre, such as High Brow Horror, Irreverent TV Comedies, and 90-minute movies, can be used to access the alternative catalogue.
There are two methods for gaining access to secret collections. You can do it from any desktop by entering the URL ‘netflix.com/browse/genre/’ and adding a unique ID code.
If you use Netflix on a TV, you can simply enter the code into the’search’ bar. It does not work on smartphones or tablets.
At the bottom of this article, we’ve compiled a list of all the codes:
The codes are numbers that represent categories tucked away in the Netflix library and link to content that was available when the company first launched.
Netflix uses an algorithm on the main site or app to personalise each subscriber’s homepage experience by collecting user interests and viewing history data.
It comes as Netflix is making headlines around the world for all the wrong reasons.
Despite using the feature as a promotional tool for years, the struggling site announced this year that it was cracking down on password sharing. In the United States, a complete ban is expected this month.
In a letter to shareholders, the company announced the news, noting that ‘widespread account sharing’ has reached over 100 million viewers.
These people, on the other hand, will be able to transfer their profiles to a new paid account, allowing them to keep their preferences.
The sharing ban is in response to the company’s first subscriber loss in more than a decade – 200,000 subscribers were lost in the first quarter of 2023.
The list is accessed by entering codes associated with a particular genre, such as 90-minute movies, High Brow Horror, and Irreverent TV Comedies.
In the run-up to the recent password-sharing ban, the streaming service hinted at a paid sharing option.
This will be applicable to multiple users on the same account.
People who watch Netflix using someone else’s account must now create their own logins and pay for their own access under the new rules.
To allow people to share an account, ‘paid sharing’ will be added, which will allow multiple users while costing less than a full subscription.
Accounts already include five ‘profiles,’ but these can only be used by members of the same household.
‘Every account comes with five profiles that can be used by any member of the household,’ according to a Netflix representative.
The new option is available for people who want to share their Netflix account with friends and family who live elsewhere.
What are the Netflix genre codes?
There are secret codes that can unlock dozens of hidden Netflix shows.
Put the code at the end of www.netflix.com/browse/genre or enter it into the streaming service’s search bar to access the secret codes.
