What is The Circle about?

The Circle is a reality TV show that offers a fresh take on social interaction in the digital age. Contestants live in separate apartments, removed from the real world, and can only communicate through The Circle, a specially designed social media platform. Striving to gain popularity, the players engage in strategic alliances, flattery, and even deception, as they attempt to outwit their opponents. The twist in The Circle is the ability for contestants to choose a different persona or 'catfish' other players to gain an edge. Each week, the contestants rate each other, with the top two becoming 'influencers' who wield the power to block one other player. Throughout the series, The Circle explores the intricacies of online persona and human social dynamics, as players grapple with questions of authenticity, trust, and self-presentation in pursuit of a significant cash prize. The show offers an engrossing exploration of the changing nature of human connection in an age dominated by social media and digital platforms.

The first episode of The Circle aired on January 01, 2020 and the most recent episode to air was on January 18, 2023.
