Interests Overview

Interests represent a genre or subgenre to help IMDb customers explore popular and highly rated TV series, movies, discover the most anticipated releases, watch new trailers, interviews, and IMDb Original Videos. To explore any of our 200+ available Interests, visit an Interest page by going to https://www.imdb.com/interests/all/ in your web browser or by tapping on the Search tab in the IMDb app, and scrolling to the Popular interests section and tapping on the Browse all interests link. For customers in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Australia, you can also search for any Interest using the Search bar at the top of the Search tab in the IMDb app, or in the Search bar at the top of IMDb.com. We are working to add search capabilities to more regions soon.

Interests also help you better understand the makeup of a title when visiting a title page. Interests for each title are listed alphabetically on the title page header first by subgenre and then by genre, and within the new Related interests widget that appears on every title page on IMDb.

Follow an Interest

Following an Interest lets you get easy access back to the related Interest page to make exploring titles from your favorite genres and subgenres easier. To follow an interest, tap the Add to your interests button on the top of any Interest page or tap the (+) icon on any Interest. These actions will result in the Interest being displayed within the Your Interests sections on the Search and You tabs. Your title recommendations across IMDb will also be better tailored to your specific tastes.

Adding to your Interests is currently only available on the IMDb iOS App and the IMDb Android App. The ability to follow Interests will be coming to IMDb.com at a later date.
