You can block a specific show or movie on Netflix for one profile without blocking it on every profile. In a browser, open your Netflix account settings, choose Profiles, then Adjust parental controls for the profile. After verifying your identity, add the title under Title Restrictions and save.

Block a show from a Netflix profile in a browser

  1. Sign in to Netflix in a web browser and open the Account page.

  2. Under Profiles, expand the profile you want to change and select Adjust parental controls.

Use the Netflix app where supported

For supported profiles, Netflix documents this route in the app: My Netflix → profile name → Manage Profiles → profile → Viewing Restrictions → Block Titles. Select the title to block it. Kids profiles are an exception: Netflix requires you to manage title blocking for them in a web browser.

Choose between blocking one title and setting a maturity limit

Control What it changes When to use it
Title Restrictions Blocks a named show or movie on the selected profile. Use it to exclude a particular title.
Maturity rating Limits what the profile can show to titles at or below the selected maturity level. Use it to set a broader age-appropriate ceiling.
Profile Lock PIN Controls access to the profile; Netflix describes the PIN as four digits. Use it to restrict who can open a profile, not to block a particular show.

Netflix explains that you can block specific shows and movies from individual profiles in its maturity ratings guidance. Maturity ratings can vary by region. For a series with multiple seasons, the rating shown when a season starts may differ from the overall show rating or its content themes.
