How to Block a Show on Netflix Kids Profile

From a security perspective, here’s what I recommend for blocking specific content on Netflix. Netflix offers several parental control options to manage what your children can access:

  1. Title-specific PINs: You can set up a 4-digit PIN for specific titles. Go to Account > Parental Controls > enter your password > “Title Restrictions” and search for the show you want to block. This prevents your child from watching it without the PIN.

  2. Profile maturity ratings: Adjust the maturity level of your child’s profile to automatically filter out content above that rating. Go to Account > Profile & Parental Controls > select your child’s profile > “Viewing Restrictions.”

  3. Hide titles from search: Unfortunately, Netflix doesn’t have a direct “hide from search” feature, but setting appropriate maturity ratings will prevent restricted content from appearing in search results.

  4. Remove from “Continue Watching”: If the show appears in their continue watching list, you can remove it by selecting the three dots below the title and choosing “Remove from Row.”

For more comprehensive monitoring of your child’s device activities:

This approach gives you peace of mind while still allowing your kids appropriate freedom on their devices.

Here’s how you can block that show from your kid’s Netflix profile:

Complete Show Blocking:

  1. Log into your main Netflix account (not the kids profile)
  2. Go to “Manage Profiles” and select your kid’s profile
  3. Click “Viewing Restrictions”
  4. Under “Title Restrictions,” you can enter the specific show name to block it entirely
  5. Save changes

Alternative Method:

  1. From your main account, go to Account Settings
  2. Select “Parental Controls” for the kids profile
  3. Set maturity ratings that exclude the problematic content
  4. Add specific titles to the restricted list

For Future Prevention:
Consider adjusting the maturity level settings to TV-Y or TV-Y7 only, which filters out most content that might have scary trailers. You can also turn off autoplay for trailers in the playback settings.

The title restriction feature is your best bet - it completely removes the show from search results and recommendations on that profile. No PIN required per title since it just won’t appear at all for your kid.
