The Circle Cast Includes A New Contestant You'll Never Believe Exists

The biggest twist in reality show history? The Circle cast for the 2024 season is nothing like you’ve ever seen before. The Netflix series just premiered its sixth season and there’s so much real and fake drama—one that’s even spearheaded by someone who doesn’t even exist.

 The Circle, which is based on the British reality TV competition of the same name, premiered on Netflix on January 1, 2020. In the first episode, eight or more contestants—who are a mix of real people and catfishes—move into their own isolated apartments within The Circle building, where they can only communicate with other contestants via The Circle, a social media-like computer program that transcribes their messages into text.

Each week, the contestants are asked to rank their fellow contestants. The two highest-ranked contestants are named “influencers” and have the power to “block” and eliminate another contestant from the Circle. One by one, contestants are blocked until one contestant is left, named the top influencer and awarded the grand prize of $100,000.
