Netflix has a secret menu to help viewers stuck in the ‘doom loop’ of re-watching shows find hundreds of hidden shows and movies not on the main platform.

The list is accessed using codes associated with a specific genre, such as 90-minute movies, High Brow Horror and Irreverent TV Comedies.

To explore these collections, type in ‘netflix.com/browse/genre/’ and then add your ID code of choice to the end of the URL. 

The hidden content, which can only be accessed on a desktop or tv, is mixed in with over 5,500 movies and shows.

There are hundreds of movies and shows tucked away in a secret menu only accessible with unique codes  

The codes are numbers that represent categories that are tucked in the Netflix library and link to content that was offered in the company’s early days.

Users type the code into search in the Netflix television app to access the secret menu. 

Netflix uses an algorithm that customizes each subscriber’s homepage experience by collecting user interests and viewing history data. 

Only a minority of Netflix’s collection can be viewed without the unique codes.

Netflix is making headlines worldwide for its move to crack down on password sharing this year, with the ban said to happen this month in the US.

The company shared the news in a letter to shareholders, noting that ‘widespread account sharing’ has exceeded over 100 million viewers.

These individuals, however, will be able to transfer their profiles to a new paid account, allowing them to carry over their preferences.

Netflix said 2022 had been a ‘tough year’ due to its first subscriber loss in more than a decade – its customer base fell by 200,000 subscribers in the first quarter. 

The list is accessed using codes associated with a specific genre, such as 90-minute movies, High Brow Horror and Irreverent TV Comedies

Netflix, however, is aware some users will cancel their accounts, but those sharing can transfer profiles if they choose to open their own.

‘We believe the pattern will be similar to what we’ve seen in Latin America, with engagement growing over time as we continue to deliver a great slate of programming and borrowers sign up for their own accounts,’ the company told shareholders.

Netflix has been working to bring in more revenue, all while catering to consumers.

In November 2022, the company launched a ‘Basic with Ads’ option for $6.99 a month, compared to the ad-free version for $9.99 a month.

Advertisements are either 15 or 30 seconds long and play before and during shows and movies.

And leading up to the recent ban on password sharing, the streaming service revealed plans for a paid sharing option.

This will be for multiple users on the same account.

Under the new rules, people watching Netflix using someone else’s account must create their own logins and pay for their own access.

To enable people to share an account, ‘paid sharing’ will be added, allowing multiple users but costing less than a full subscription.

Accounts already come with five ‘profiles,’ but these are solely for use by members of the same household.

‘Every account comes with five profiles that can be used by any member of the household,’ a Netflix spokesperson said.

The new option comes if people wish to share their Netflix account with friends and family living elsewhere.

What are Netflix’s secret genre codes? 

There are secret codes that can unlock dozens of hidden shows on Netflix.

To access the secret codes, put the code at the end of www.netflix.com/browse/genre or enter the code into the streaming service’s search bar
