Latest Netflix Codes to Find Hidden Categories (Oct 2024)

This post contains the list of the best Netflix codes for finding hidden categories and subcategories. It will also reveal how the codes work and how to use them on different devices.

Have you ever wondered why Netflix keeps pushing similar content on your home page? The platform’s algorithms learn your preferences and recommend content accordingly.

But the Netflix library is vaster than that. The Netflix secret codes will help uncover hidden categories and underrated genres. Please keep reading to explore these secret codes.

What are Netflix Codes?

Netflix’s secret codes are 5 to 6-digit numbers that open various sub-sections, genres, or hidden categories. These codes are shortcuts to help you find a niche or special content.

These codes have gained popularity among Netflix users because they’re easy to use and help explore hidden gems.

Netflix hosts over 13,000 titles, and the numbers keep increasing regularly. So, naturally, it can’t display all the content on the Home page.

Therefore, the titles are categorized into specific sections and genres. The secret codes reveal genres and categories. For example, you can use the secret code 31574 to view all the classic films.

Or, enter 6548 to browse all comedy content. These secret codes are also subdivided into sections like Horror Comedy, Action Comedy, family Comedy, and more.

For example, 3519 uncovers the subgenre of teen comedies.

How are Netflix Secret Codes Created?

Netflix has created and assigned codes to content categories and subcategories. However, the streaming service hasn’t officially promoted the secret codes. Instead, they have been discovered by Netflix enthusiasts who observe the patterns in the Netflix URL structure.

For example, you must’ve noticed that a Netflix URL looks like this: https://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/####.

The #### refers to the secret code or numerical number for each genre and subsection. Curious users explored various numerical codes to see if they could uncover a hidden Netflix library.

The Netflix secret codes were shared in online forums and communities, which is how they became public knowledge. And more kept coming.

How to Use Netflix Codes

Using Netflix codes is very simple. It won’t take long.

Generally, using the Netflix secret codes is slightly different on a web browser compared to smart TVs and apps. We have listed both methods below.

Web Browser

In a web browser, you can use the URL https://netflix.com/browse/genre/(type Netflix code here). Here’s how it works:

1. Obtain the genre code you want to explore (say 7424 for anime).
2. Go to the Netflix website and sign in to your account.
3. Edit the URL in the address bar to netflix.com/browse/genre/7424.

That’s it! You may replace 7424 in the above URL with any other code you choose (or pick one of the codes provided later in this post).

Smart TV, Amazon FireStick, Android/iOS App

Using the Netflix secret codes on smart TVs, Amazon FireSticks, or other Android or iOS apps is also reasonably straightforward. You only need to enter the code in the search bar.

Here’s how you do it:

• Launch the Netflix app on your device.
• Go to the Search option.
• Type the code and wait for the results to display.

The following is the screenshot from a FireStick where I searched code 67879.
