Netflix’s The Circle returned with its fourth season on May 4, 2022. This season of the social media-based game show will feature commercial banker Alex Brizard, playing with the catfish name Nathan to be the “smartest player in The Circle.”

In the game show, a group of players are isolated in different apartments with no connection to the outside world. With the goal of becoming popular, players can only interact with their co-stars via a specially-designed social media app.

Players can only send pictures and images through the app, and since the app promises anonymity, participants can portray an entirely altered identity to others.

With the new season just around the corner, viewers are excited to find out every detail of Alex Brizard, aka Nathan from The Circle. So, read on to learn more about him.
