Secret Netflix Codes: How to Unlock Hundreds of Movies and Series
In the meantime, Netflix has also become a synonym for long film and series evenings in Germany. Nevertheless, it often happens to many users that they simply cannot find anything suitable in the suggested categories – or in the search they accidentally come across something exciting that Netflix has never shown them before.
The reason for this is that Netflix does not want to overwhelm its users and therefore only shows them a selection of what is on offer. The company’s clever algorithms usually do this pretty well – but it’s not uncommon for the exact film or series that a certain user would have liked simply to remain hidden.
How to discover the Netflix secret lists
But in addition to the displayed content topics such as “New releases”, “Currently popular”, “Light entertainment” or “Exciting films”, there are also dozens of category pages that users normally never see.
They can be called up via a URL – i.e. a web address – and a specific numerical code. Unfortunately, this method does not work directly in the app, but must be carried out in the browser on the computer or smartphone.
To do this, enter the link www.netflix.com/browse/genre/ and add the number 77232 at about the end – you land on the Netflix page for “Asian Action Movies”.
In the following we have compiled the most important known codes for you and linked each one: All you have to do is click on the genre and you will land directly on the associated topic page.
However, there is no way around a Netflix subscription, otherwise you cannot play films this way either.
How to bookmark the page
