Netflix Codes: Full Secret Genre Codes List (October 2026)

Netflix files every title under thousands of narrow genres, but the home screen only shows a few dozen rows. Each hidden genre has a number. Put that number at the end of a Netflix web address and you get a page with only that genre: action thrillers, K-dramas, 90-minute movies, 1990s Christmas films, and so on. Netflix itself says there are more than 36,000 of these codes, and the list keeps growing.

Most popular Netflix codes

These are the codes people look up most, plus a few of the newer collections Netflix added. Click a code to open the genre.

How to use Netflix codes

On a computer

1. Sign in to Netflix in any web browser.
2. Type netflix.com/browse/genre/ followed by a code, for example netflix.com/browse/genre/43048.
3. Press Enter. Netflix shows the titles in that genre that are available in your country.

Every code on this page is a link, so you can also just click one. Netflix's public genre pages also open when you are signed out, which is a quick way to preview a category before you log in.

On a phone

Open the code link in your phone's browser (Chrome, Safari, or similar). If your phone hands the link to the Netflix app and you land on the home screen instead of the genre, long-press the link and pick "Open in browser", or request the desktop site from the browser menu.

Some users report that typing the number into the Netflix app's search box brings up the matching category. It does not work every time, so treat it as a bonus, not the main method.

On a smart TV or console

TV, console, and streaming stick apps cannot open a genre web address. The workaround:

1. Open the code on your phone or laptop.
2. Add anything you like to My List.
3. On the TV, open My Netflix from the top bar. Your list is there, along with anything you were watching.

The TV app's own Shows and Movies tabs also have a genre menu, but it only covers the broad categories.

Save your favourites

Bookmark the genre pages you use often, or add them to your browser's home screen on a phone. Our what to watch on Netflix guide is another good starting point.

Netflix's own collection codes

In 2025 Netflix published its own list of category codes on Tudum, its official fan site, including newer hand-picked collections that most code lists still miss. Some of the best:

The full set is in the Netflix collections section of the table below.

All Netflix genre codes

Search by genre, mood, country, or code number.

Why some codes show few or no titles

Netflix catalogs differ by country, and titles come and go every month. The code numbers are the same everywhere, but a genre with 200 titles in the US might have 40 in Canada, 60 in the UK, and 10 in India. Country genres such as Canadian movies & TV or Bollywood movies are usually fuller in their home market.

An empty page, or one that bounces you back to the home screen, usually means nothing in that genre is licensed where you are right now, or Netflix has retired that collection in your country. It does not mean the code is wrong. Netflix also shows only what your profile's maturity rating and language settings allow, so a kids profile sees a much shorter page than an adult one.

Netflix codes not working?

• You land on the home page. The link opened in the Netflix app instead of the browser. Open it in a browser, or switch to the desktop site.
• The page is empty. The genre has no titles in your country right now. Try a broader code from the same section, such as 1365 instead of a narrow action sub-genre.
• You see far fewer titles than a friend. Check which profile you are on. Kids profiles and profiles with a lower maturity rating hide titles above that rating.
• The address does not load at all. Make sure there is no space or extra slash: it should read exactly netflix.com/browse/genre/ and then the number.
• A VPN shows a different catalog. Netflix decides your country from your connection, so genre pages follow whatever region it thinks you are in.

Other ways to find something to watch

• Search by genre name in the app, for example "heist", "anime", or "Korean". Netflix search covers genres, titles, actors, and languages, and it often shows a matching genre row at the top of the results.
• Check New & Popular (called New & Hot on some devices) and the Top 10 rows for what is trending in your country this week.
• Check our picks of the best TV shows to stream on Netflix and what to watch on Netflix.
• Try the best apps for Netflix users for ratings, trailers, and watch-party tools, or learn how to watch Netflix with friends.
• Thinking about changing plans? See how much Netflix costs in each country.

FAQs

Do secret Netflix codes still work in 2026?

Yes. The netflix.com/browse/genre/ format still works in web browsers in October 2026, and Netflix itself promotes the codes on its official Tudum site.

Is there an official list of Netflix codes?

Partly. Netflix's Tudum site published a list of popular and newer collection codes in 2025 and says there are more than 36,000 codes in total. No complete official list exists, so every larger list, including this one, is a compilation rather than an official list.

Can I use Netflix codes on my TV or in the app?

Not directly. TV, console, and streaming stick apps cannot open a genre address. Use a browser on your phone or laptop to find titles, add them to My List, then watch from My Netflix on the TV. Typing the code number into app search sometimes works, but not reliably.

Do Netflix codes work in Canada, the USA, the UK, and India?

Yes. The codes are the same in every country, including Canada, the USA, the UK, and India. Only the titles inside each genre change with your country's catalog.

Is there a Netflix code for adults or 18+ movies?

No. There is no secret adult category. Genres such as adult animation (11881), steamy romantic movies (35800), and steamy thrillers (972) contain regular rated movies and shows aimed at grown-ups, not explicit content. Every title still follows your profile's maturity rating, and parents can set ratings and a profile lock PIN in account settings so a code cannot get around them.

What is the Netflix code for family movies?

Use 2013975 for Netflix's family movie night collection or 783 for all children & family movies. For shorter picks, 81466229 lists 90-minute family movies.

What is the Netflix code for sitcoms and TV comedies?

Use 3903 for sitcoms and 10375 for all TV comedies. For stand-up, use 11559.

How do I see what was recently added?

Use code 1592210 for recently added titles, or open New & Popular in the app.

Are Netflix genre codes safe to use?

Yes. They are ordinary Netflix web addresses. They do not unlock paid content, bypass parental controls, or change your account.
