Netflix's The Circle is all set to premiere a brand new season on Wednesday, December 28. Among the contestants appearing on the show are season 1 fan favorite Shubam Goel and Big Brother star Brett Robinson.
The show revolves around contestants taking part in a social experiment where they can either be themselves or catfish their way into winning the grand prize. However, this season on The Circle, viewers will be introduced to a new twist.
The official plot for season five of The Circle reads:
"The new season of the reality competition, officially called The Circle: Singles, will follow players who claim to be romantically available as they jockey for popularity with their sequestered co-stars. Some of these competitors will be telling the truth, and others will be strategically catfishing as a singleton, all in the hopes of winning Season 5’s cash prize."
It continues:
"Shubham “Shubi” Goel, who thrived in The Circle Season 1, will be one of those game players. You can expect more flirting, more drama and lots of surprises as these singles battle it out to be named top influencer."
