Deep in the recesses of the Netflix library are thousands of secret codes that unlock extra streaming content. This Netflix hidden menu isn't readily available, but these codes let you browse categories and genres that are likely not appearing on your home screen.

How to Unlock Hidden Netflix Content to See Everything

Browse all movies and shows on Netflix using any web browser on a PC or smartphone. To send the movie to your television, it's easy to cast or mirror your screen.

To unlock the door to the Netflix hidden library, choose a code from the lists below. Once you've found a code, type this URL into your web browser: www.netflix.com/browse/genre/CODE (replace CODE with the category-specific code from the list below).

Netflix content varies, and not all codes work at all times in all locations. Recheck codes to see if the category becomes available in your area and turn off any VPN you might be using on your computer.

For example, to watch Asian action movies, you would type www.netflix.com/browse/genre/77232 into your browser to see the Asian Action Movies landing page.
