Netflix Has a Secret Menu: Here's How to Find More Movies and Series

Tired of browsing Netflix and always seeing the same recommendations? With this simple trick, you can unlock hidden content you didn't even know existed!

We've all been there: you sit down to watch a movie at home, but end up spending more time scrolling through Netflix's menu than actually watching anything. This happens largely because of Netflix's algorithm, which is designed to personalize recommendations. However, this often means you see the same suggestions over and over again, leaving you thinking there's not much to watch.

The truth? Netflix has a lot more to offer—you just need to know how to access its secret menu.

How to Unlock Netflix's Secret Menu

The trick is simple. Using a computer for convenience, open Netflix in your browser. Then, modify the URL by adding a specific code to the end of this link:
https://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/

Each code corresponds to a specific category, unlocking a more detailed list of genres and subgenres than what you'd find through the traditional navigation menu. Once you enter the code, you'll see a curated list of movies or shows in that category. From there, you can play the content directly or add it to your list for easy access on your smartphone or smart TV.
