How to use Netflix codes

Netflix genre codes work in any web browser. Here's exactly how to use them on a computer, a phone, and (with a small workaround) your TV.

Quick answer

Sign in to Netflix in a browser and go to netflix.com/browse/genre/ followed by the code, for example netflix.com/browse/genre/8711 for horror.

Step by step

  1. Sign in to Netflix in a web browser. Open Chrome, Safari, Edge or Firefox on a computer, phone or tablet and sign in to your Netflix account.
  2. Pick a code. Find a genre on Netflix Codes, for example 8711 for horror movies.
  3. Enter the genre URL. In the address bar, type netflix.com/browse/genre/ followed by the code, such as netflix.com/browse/genre/8711, and press Enter. Or just tap the arrow next to the genre on this site.
  4. Browse and save. You'll land on that genre's page. Add anything you like to My List so it's waiting in the app on your TV or phone.

On a computer (Windows or Mac)

This is the easiest way. Any desktop browser works: paste the genre URL into the address bar, or click the arrow next to a genre on this site.

On iPhone, iPad or Android

Use your phone's browser rather than the app. If tapping a link jumps into the Netflix app and lands on the home screen, long-press the link and choose to open it in the browser, or switch the browser to “desktop site”.

On a smart TV, Fire Stick, Roku or console

TV apps don't let you type a web address, so codes can't be entered there. Browse the genre on your phone or laptop, add titles to My List, and they'll be waiting in the TV app.

Popular codes to try

Horror 8711 · Anime 7424 · Comedies 6548 · Documentaries 6839 · Thrillers 8933 · Sci-Fi & Fantasy 1492 · Romance 8883

Troubleshooting

Can I enter Netflix codes on a smart TV?

No. TV apps have no address bar. Browse the genre in a phone or computer browser, add titles to My List, and they'll appear on your TV.

Do Netflix codes work on iPhone and Android?

Yes, in a mobile browser. If the link opens the Netflix app and drops you on the home screen, long-press the link and open it in the browser instead, or request the desktop site.

Why did the code open an empty page?

That shelf may have no titles in your country right now, or Netflix may have retired it. Try the parent category's main code.
