Maturity ratings for TV shows and movies on Netflix
Make informed viewing choices for you and your family with maturity ratings for TV shows and movies on Netflix.
Maturity ratings are either set by Netflix or by a local standards organization.
Netflix sets maturity ratings by the frequency and impact of mature content in a title, such as the amount of violence, sex, adult language, nudity, or substance use that may be present.
Netflix also provides details on the mature content found within a TV show or movie, if applicable.
Maturity ratings and advisories found on a TV show’s details page reflect the overall or highest maturity level of the series.
Note:For TV shows with more than one season, we show the ratings for the season you're watching in the top corner of the screen when first playing the title. These may differ from the show’s overall rating or mature content themes. TV and movie ratings may vary by region.
