NETFLIX is offering a special opportunity to watch never-before-seen shows and movies – all you have to do is score an invitation.
The streaming service launched Netflix Preview Club in 2021, but the invite-only perk has flown under the radar, possibly due to how selective it is.
Preview Club gives users access to early versions of TV shows and films before they’re shared with the public.
Members also have a one-of-a-kind opportunity to partake in the creative process.
They are asked to provide feedback on the content, which will be shared with creators and may impact the final cut.
The opportunity comes at no additional cost, with the service picking users based on factors like “their viewing behavior and how long they’ve been a Netflix member.”
However, there is a disclaimer: getting an invitation doesn’t mean you’re automatically accepted.
Prospective members will receive an email from noreply@netflixpreviewclub.com or a notification in the Netflix app to kickstart the process.
The invite link leads to a website where users are asked to confirm their identity using information like their age and gender.
Within a few days, another email will arrive, this one leading to a questionnaire about viewing preferences.
If selected, users will then be provided a unique PIN and directions on how to access the members-only content.
Users will have roughly four days to watch the screening and fill out a brief survey.
Some members will also receive an invitation to a moderated focus group where they will discuss the content with other users, though this step is entirely optional.
Netflix notes that movies and shows will be screened months before release to give their creators time to make changes in accordance with member feedback.
This means participants will have a special opportunity to see the content in its unfinished form.
You may spot elements like incomplete sound or visual effects, green screens, and missing music.
Netflix Preview Club content is only accessible on your main profile.
After signing in, select the primary profile and scroll down until you see a row titled Preview Content.
Feedback “helps improve the viewing experience for all Netflix members,” according to the streaming service.

The process is also highly secretive. Users cannot share “anything about these films and series,” according to an agreement viewed by The U.S. Sun.
They must agree to keep details like “titles, casts, characters, plotlines, endings” and more under lock and key.
While it is unclear just how many lucky users have been selected for the private club, roughly 2,000 had signed up as of December 2022.
