And then, by the time you've eventually found something, it's time to turn the TV off and go to bed? Yep, we’ve all been there.
But what if you could bypass the browsing entirely and dive straight into the content you’re craving?
Say hello to Netflix’s secret genre codes. This clever trick opens up hidden categories you won’t find just by searching. Want a specific anime genre? Done. A nostalgic rom-com? No problem. With just a few clicks, you’ll have access to everything from cult classics to obscure documentaries.

Here’s how to use these codes to transform your Netflix experience in 2025.
How Do Netflix Codes Work?
It’s simpler than you might think:
Open a web browser (this trick doesn’t work in the Netflix app).
Add the code for your desired genre at the end of the URL (e.g., "8711" for horror).
Hit enter, and you’ll be whisked away to a curated list of titles in that category.
That’s it! Now let’s dive into the codes themselves.
