How to set profile maturity ratings or block titles

When you set a maturity rating for a profile, that profile will see only TV shows, movies, and games at or below that rating. You can also block specific TV shows or movies from individual profiles.

Set maturity levels for a profile

  1. From a web browser, go to your Account page.

  2. Open the Profile & Parental Controls settings for the profile you want to manage.

  3. Change the Viewing Restrictions setting.

  4. Enter your Netflix password.

  5. Set the maturity rating level for the TV shows and movies you want to allow in that profile.

    Note:
    Game ratings correspond to the TV show or movie maturity settings set for the profile. Learn more at Maturity ratings for games on Netflix.
  6. Select Save. TV shows, movies, and games above the selected maturity level will be removed from the profile.
