Stuck doomscrolling on Netflix, unable to pick something to watch? It might be because you’re only seeing popular titles and recommendations based on your previous selections. Netflix secret codes can help you narrow down your search and find something totally new to watch.
Netflix has secret codes for comedy, Korean dramas, sci-fi, horror, and more. Whatever you prefer, we’ll share all the codes below and explain how to use them. Once you select a title, use CyberGhost VPN as your secret weapon to fix common streaming problems.
If you’re streaming at work or the university library, you might run into network restrictions that block Netflix. With CyberGhost VPN, you can bypass restrictions and access Netflix just like when you’re at home.
What Are the Secret Codes for Netflix?
Netflix secret codes are category codes that allow you to view hyper-specific types of content. Using them is like ordering off a secret menu – you have to know what to ask for. They’re great if you have a certain genre in mind or want to find something new.
These codes have been around since almost the beginning of Netflix, so there are a lot to choose from (over 36,000). While the Netflix secret codes list is constantly growing, some codes may appear unavailable at times since Netflix’s library changes constantly.
How to Use Netflix Secret Codes
To unlock the secret codes, open a new tab in a web browser and type “netflix.com/browse/genre/” followed by the ID code you’d like to explore. For example, if you want to watch 90-minute horror movies, you’ll head to netflix.com/browse/genre/81466239.
Wondering how to use Netflix secret codes on a smart TV or streaming device? Open your Netflix app, navigate to the search bar, and enter the code. The app will display titles related to your code’s category. This process may vary a little across different devices.
It’s also worth noting that Netflix secret codes in the UK are the same as Netflix secret codes in Canada, the US, and so on. You’ll use the same codes regardless of your location.

💡 Netflix has different content libraries for different countries, which can mean losing access to the shows you want to watch when you travel abroad. You can get around this easily with CyberGhost VPN. We have streaming-optimized servers in key countries that can reunite you with the Netflix library in your home country.
How to Find Similar Content on Netflix
Netflix codes are a nice feature but they can be overwhelming. You don’t always want to scroll through hundreds of movies and read all the plot summaries. Sometimes, you just want to watch something with the same feel as the movie you just finished.
If you enjoyed a movie or series, you can find similar content without relying on the You might like section. You simply need the show’s ID number.
Here’s how it works.
- Check the URL of the show you’ve just seen.
- Copy the number after the last slash — that’s the title ID.
- Add the title ID at the end of www.netflix.com/browse/similars/
- Enjoy streaming!
Why CyberGhost Is the Best VPN for Netflix
CyberGhost VPN helps you get the most out of your Netflix subscription. ISPs sometimes throttle your connection speed when you stream, which causes lagging and buffering. By connecting to a CyberGhost server, you can hide your activity with our powerful encryption and protect yourself from streaming-related throttling.
Our 10-Gbps server network and unlimited bandwidth provide a super-fast, uninterrupted connection to ensure you get flawless video quality. You can even connect to one of our streaming-optimized servers, which we monitor regularly to ensure you always have an IP address that can reliably access your favorite streaming platform.
If Netflix is blocked on the Wi-Fi at your school or workplace, CyberGhost’s VPN encryption can help you bypass these restrictions so you can watch wherever you like. And if you’re traveling abroad to a country where the show you want to watch isn’t available, you can always connect to a CyberGhost server in your home country to keep watching.
CyberGhost VPN has apps for PC, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS, Amazon Fire TV Stick, and Android TV, making it easy to stream wherever you are. Setup is fast and easy, but our support team is available 24/7 if you have questions.
Try it out for yourself with our 45-day money-back guarantee.
