Netflix is a great way to watch movies and TV shows, but did you know that you can unlock hidden categories? By using secret codes, you can access a variety of different genres that might not normally be available to you.

In this blog post, we will discuss how to find Netflix secret codes and what they can offer you. We will also provide a list of some of our favorite hidden categories!

If the standard categories aren’t enough, you can discover a new world of shows and movies with Netflix secret codes.

Using Netflix secret codes makes searching a lot easier whether you’re bored of the algorithmically selected Netflix content and want something new, or simply wish to discover what you enjoy faster.

In a nutshell, Netflix secret codes are a string of characters that you input into the search bar to bring up different categories. While they don’t actually unlock hidden Netflix material, they do allow you to view categories that aren’t usually accessible to you by searching the standard way.

How to use Netflix secret codes

The process for using Netflix secret codes is pretty simple. All you need to do is log into your Netflix account and then head to the search bar.

From there, you’ll want to input the code of the category that you’re interested in. Once you hit enter, a list of content within that category will appear!

For example, if you want to see a list of British Movies, simply input the code 10757 in the search bar. Or if you enjoy Anime, it’s 7424. Keep in mind that some codes are only valid in specific regions, so some of the codes below may not be accessible to you.

I think it is important that we clarify that some of the tagging is a touch off. While researching this article I found that the children’s animated movie “Free Birds” was categorized as a “Zombie Horror movie” and the action thriller, “Law Abiding Citizen” starring Gerard Butler is classed as a “Sports Movie”.

How are Netflix’s secret codes created?

Netflix categorizes its series and films using a combination of human and artificial intelligence. In other words, Netflix has a staff dedicated to monitoring, evaluating, and tagging the platform’s content in order to acquire metadata such as the movies’ endings, storylines, settings, and contributions of principal characters.

Surprisingly, the amount of data collected quickly grew out of control, forcing engineers to intervene. The material was divided into tens of thousands of distinct micro-genres using the power of algorithms, according to Netflix’s terminology.

Do Netflix Secret codes really work?

Yes, all of them are valid. Occasionally, a code associated with a category may not work because it is either unavailable in your region or has been modified by Netflix.
