What does the trailer of The Circle season 7 give out to viewers?

As seen in the trailer, the setting for the show is an artsy and charming apartment located in the heart of Atlanta, Georgia, just like in the previous season. Comedian and Survival of the Thickest star Michelle Buteau's voice-over returns as the show host for this season.

The show's ultimate strategy remains the same as before, but this time, it includes a new twist that is even more shocking than the AI twist of season 6, as discussed by Netflix's Tudum.

The highly-anticipated lineup for the upcoming The Circle season has yet to be revealed. However, a teaser featuring some of the contestants has been released, offering a glimpse of the cast without fully showing their faces.

The show's premise teases:

"Clever catfish, shady tactics and game-changing twists collide as a new group of players competes for $100,000 in the most cutthroat season to date."

A look back on the previous seasons

The Circle is a reality TV show that revolves around a group of contestants living in the same apartment building but communicating exclusively through a social media platform called 'The Circle'. The ultimate goal is for the most popular contestant to emerge victorious. Despite seeming straightforward, the show introduces a unique twist by allowing contestants to either be themselves or pose as someone else, a tactic commonly known as "catfishing".

The contestants' weekly ratings are crucial in determining their chances of winning. To gain popularity, contestants employ various tactics, including adopting alternate personas (known as "catfish"), building strong connections and bonds, devising strategies to either support or undermine fellow contestants and actively seeking to increase their overall popularity. The contestants can block one another as well, and blocked contestants leave the show and even meet the contestants who blocked them.

In every season of the show, unforgettable catfish contestants created enduring impressions, overshadowing even the winners. Constant surprises and adjustments marked the show, but the previous season went in a bold new direction by introducing a robotic catfish named Max. The contestants faced intense emotional challenges, such as confronting their flaws and igniting fierce competition. Collaborative elements also played a significant role in the previous season. Operating under a catfish persona, Brandon secured the season 6 title due to his strategic prowess.
