Netflix Secret Codes You Should Know! [2025 Update]

If you’ve thought that all Netflix has is what’s shown on their front page, think again.

Netflix is like a treasure trove of entertainment and the only way to truly uncover some hidden gems is by making use of their secret codes. 

Netflix secret codes are basically sort codes that are assigned to a particular category or sub-category on the website. This would be the short series of numbers present in the URL at the end of Netflix.com/browse/genre/******.

From Movies to TV shows and Documentaries, here’s a complete list of Netflix secret codes you must know.

Why Use Netflix Secret Codes?

Netflix secret codes are a smarter and faster way to explore the platform’s massive library. 

They let you jump directly to what you're in the mood for, like Asian Action Movies (77232) or Stand-Up Comedy (11209), without scrolling through endless menus. 

These codes help you discover hidden subgenres, such as Cult Sci-Fi & Fantasy (4734), that Netflix's algorithm rarely surfaces. 

Secret codes are a huge time-saver, cutting your browsing time to seconds with a simple URL tweak and best of all, they can be bookmarked making it easier than ever to find your favorite genres and sub genres.

How to Enter a Netflix Secret Code?

Using a Netflix secret code is simple, but it only works through a web browser. 

Start by opening a new browser tab, then type or paste the URL: https://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/, followed by the specific code you want to explore. 

For example, entering https://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/9875 will take you straight to the Crime Documentaries section. 

Press Enter, and Netflix will refresh to show that category’s content. This trick bypasses the homepage algorithm and brings you directly to the niche you're looking for.

On phones or tablets?

Unfortunately, Netflix Secret Codes cannot be typed directly in the mobile app.

Instead, open the device’s web browser, follow the web steps, and tap the title. The Netflix app then launches automatically at the right screen.

How to Stay Safe While Using Netflix Secret Codes Online?

While Netflix secret codes can boost your experience, it's important to stay cautious when using them online. 

Avoid clicking on unsolicited pop-ups or messages that claim to unlock “banned” or exclusive Netflix content as they often lead to scam surveys or malicious sites. 

Never enter your Netflix login on any third-party page claiming to preload secret codes; always use Netflix’s official website.

And to stay protected, only trust codes shared by reputable sources and verified tech sites before spreading them through group chats or social media.

Do secret codes work worldwide?

Yes, Netflix secret codes work globally in the sense that they will always direct you to the correct genre or category page, no matter where you're located. 

The actual content within that category may vary depending on your region, because Netflix's library is subject to licensing agreements, which differ from country to country. 

So while you can access, for example, the "Crime Documentaries" section using code 9875 anywhere in the world, the list of available titles might be different in the U.S. than it is in India or the U.K. 

The code works, only what you see depends on local content rights.

Takeaway

Using Netflix secret codes is the single quickest way to discover forgotten noirs, micro‑budget indies, vintage martial‑arts series, or under‑the‑radar festival winners. 

Don’t forget to bookmark the codes that you’ve been searching for or if they are genres that you love.
