> Categories code and how to use them, continue reading…

Netflix has a master list of hidden categories that go far beyond the usual Action, Drama, Sci-Fi, and the like. Each URL has the format:

**[http://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/###](http://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/###)**

…where the “###” is where you put the code that relates to the particular Netflix category you’re looking for. For example, 35800 is steamy romantic movies, 11140 is supernatural thrillers, and 67879 is Korean TV shows. You can check out the complete list below.

“We categorize our content into thousands of subgenres to help match the right content to the right member based on their viewing history,” Netflix spokesperson Marlee Tart told Mashable via email.

Some of these categories don’t even come up in a Netflix search. While searching “Korean TV Shows” brings up the same list that appears at the category URL, searching “Classic War Movies” doesn’t bring up up any results. Some categories appear to be only used for suggestion purposes.

Tart didn’t share the exact number of genres they use to curate their movies and TV shows, but she says it changes often.

Netflix genre codes or commonly referred to as “secret codes” allow users to further refine searches into certain categories. Netflix is sometimes hard to navigate with close to 6,000 titles on the US Netflix and many other regions coming close too.

Here’s your ultimate guide on how category codes on Netflix work, how to use them, and then we’ll give you some headline categories to kickstart your new Netflix discovery.

## How to use Netflix category codes

Now we’ve been through the benefits of using Netflix category codes, let’s now take a look at how exactly you can use them. As our title suggests, Netflix categories are done using IDs. You can then use these IDs on the Netflix website to help filter your results.

You’ll either need to type in the code manually or use the links below to get onto a category page. It’s also important to note, this is only doable using a web browser but from there you can then add items to your queue.

The web address to access Netflix genres has changed in recent years and is now this:

> [https://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/INSERTNUMBER](https://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/INSERTNUMBER)

 ![image](https://onehack.st/uploads/default/original/3X/5/9/5956444ac77a373b95eed13c22065c850d5e08a1.jpeg)

Netflix category code usage

In the example above, we used the genre code [1390785](https://www.netflix.com/login?nextpage=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.netflix.com%2Fbrowse%2Fgenre%2F1390785) which takes us to Netflix’s list of Marvel animated titles on Netflix.

You can also find allocated categories on individual titles too. If you get the title card up and click on details, you’ll see a list of genres assigned to the title. All of these are clickable and take you straight to the genre page. You can also click on the cast members and directors which takes you to their other works too.

## Personalized Category Codes

Beyond the list of number codes below, Netflix also now has dedicated lists that are designed around you. The chances are you’ve already seen these rows within your Netflix app but you can also navigate to them directly using the following links:

- [Continue Watching Page](https://www.netflix.com/browse/continue-watching) – An expanded list of everything you’ve been watching recently.
- [Gems for You](https://www.netflix.com/browse/hidden-gems) – Designed to pick up hidden gems that are most likely to be of interest based on your viewing history.
- [Trending Now](https://www.netflix.com/browse/trending-now) – Page where it shows all the titles that are currently trending.
- [New and Popular](https://www.netflix.com/latest) – Displays top 10s, new on Netflix, worth the wait, coming this week and coming next week.

## How to Find Similar Titles to Another Title

Another tool you can quickly find new suggestions is by getting a list of titles that are similar to another. Usually, you can find this within the app or the title card but you can also trigger the page manually which gives you a larger list of suggestions.

Here’s how you do it.

First, you need to find the title ID of the show or movie you want to see suggestions for. You can do this by loading the page and an ID should be in the Netflix URL. You can see it highlighted for _Sons of Anarchy_ below.

 ![image](https://onehack.st/uploads/default/original/3X/a/2/a277ec48b2f3663d92545b587181f3e3d3cf00b3.jpeg)

Then, you need to copy that ID and store it somewhere. Then copy this URL:

> [https://www.netflix.com/browse/similars/\*NETFLIX](https://www.netflix.com/browse/similars/*NETFLIX) ID HERE\*

That’ll then take you to a full page of suggestions that are similar to the show you’re searching for and also those titles are geared towards you.

## Netflix Content Collections

In recent years, Netflix has begun introducing hubs to its service. These collections allow you to delve deeper into Netflix universes or creators’ works.

 ![image](https://onehack.st/uploads/default/original/3X/a/5/a5998ebf71420f7b727bb6ef53e3d396e9029c6b.jpeg)

- Shondaland Collection
- Ryan Murphy Collection
- The World of the Witcher
- [Netflix 2022 Oscars Collection](https://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/81586723)
- [Netflix 2021 Oscars Collection](https://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/81435539?so=su)

Not all of these content hubs work perfectly though and we suspect they’re still working on this feature.

Wow, a weekend kicked off with Scandinavian Movies, followed by a 12-hour rotation of Disney Musicals and Werewolf Horror Movies, and finished off with Satanic Stories to lull you to sleep? Live that Netflix dream.
