Netflix's code system is a lesser-known but clever way to unlock the platform's full catalog of programmes. While the homepage usually recommends shows and movies based on your viewing history, there's actually a vast world of hidden genres just waiting to be discovered-and they're all organized by numerical codes.

Netflix’s ‘Stranger Things’ official Instagram bio now reads “ALL EPISODES OF STRANGER THINGS ARE NOW PLAYING,” quashing fan rumours about a secret Episode 9 following the Conformity Gate theory around the series finale.

If you’ve already flown through all eight episodes of Harlan Coben’s Run Away, you’re probably feeling that familiar post-show emptiness, and now you can actually use secret Netflix codes to decide what to watch next.

Over on the tab with What's On Netflix, select your desired code, and place it at the end of the URL. For example, the "Fantasy Anime" subgenre code is 11146, so I altered the URL to read: https://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/11146.
