Pro Tips for 2026

  • The URL Trick: To use these on a browser, type: www.netflix.com/browse/genre/[CODE]

  • Region Locking: Not all codes work in every country. If a code leads to an “Error 404” page, that specific sub-genre isn’t available in your current region.

  • The “Recently Added” Cheat: Use code 1592210 to see the newest additions to the library regardless of genre.

  • Search for Specificity: You can combine terms. For example, if you want “Japanese Horror,” try code 10398 (Japanese Movies) and look for the horror sub-ribbon.
