So if you’re in the mood for something as specific as, say, Gentle British Reality TV (with the code 81240711) or Witchcraft & the Dark Arts (81552046), or think all movies should be short ( 90-Minute Movies, aka 81466194), there’s a code and corresponding collection waiting for you.Īccording to Mary Bertone of Netflix’s Curation and Taxonomy team, these codes date back to the days when Netflix was still in its DVDs-only phase. To explore these collections - ordering off the secret menu, if you will - all you need to do is fire up your web browser, type in “/browse/genre/” and then add your ID code of choice to the end of the URL.

Your Netflix queue is always stacked with movies and shows to hit play on, but what you might not know is that there’s a hidden way to make that viewing experience even better.Īmongst the films and TV series for your viewing pleasure, there’s a trove of secret category codes - a list that dates back to the earliest days of the company and already tops 36,000 (yes, really!) and is always growing, a treat for fans who either know exactly what they want to watch or want to try something entirely new.
