Secret Netflix Club unlocks never-before-seen TV shows and movies before release – check if you qualify for ‘private’ access

NETFLIX is offering a special opportunity to watch never-before-seen shows and movies – all you have to do is secure an invitation.

The streaming service introduced the Netflix Preview Club in 2021, but the invitation-only benefit has gone unnoticed, possibly due to selectivity.

The Preview Club gives users access to early versions of television shows and movies before they are released to the public.

In addition, members have the unique opportunity to participate in the creative process.

You will be asked to provide feedback on the content, which will be passed on to the creators and may impact the final cut.

This option is free and the service selects users based on factors such as “their viewing habits and how long they have been Netflix Member.”

However, a disclaimer applies: receipt of an invitation does not automatically mean your acceptance.

Potential members will receive an email from [email protected] or a notification in the Netflix App to start the process.

The invitation link leads to a website where users are asked to confirm their identity using information such as age and gender.

Within a few days, another email will arrive containing a questionnaire about your display preferences.

If this option is selected, users will receive a one-time PIN and instructions on how to access members-only content.

Users have about four days to watch the demonstration and complete a short survey.

Netflix: A future with free streaming options?

Some members will also receive an invitation to a moderated focus group where they discuss the content with other users, but this step is completely optional.

Netflix points out that films and series are shown months before release to give the creators time to make changes based on members’ feedback.

This means that participants have a special opportunity to get to know the content in its unfinished form.

You may notice elements such as incomplete sound or visual effects, green screens, and missing music.

Netflix Preview Club content can only be accessed through your main profile.

After logging in, select the primary profile and scroll down until you see a row titled “Content Previews.”

The feedback “helps improve the viewing experience for all Netflix members,” the streaming service says.
