While we know The Circle was axed from Channel 4 last year, Netflix has come through with yet another season of the US spin-off, with the fourth series set to arrive on our screens next week.
Hosted by comedian and actress Michelle Buteau, The Circle US will see a number of contestants enter The Circle apartments and log onto The Circle social media network in a bid to win around their peers – either as themselves or as someone else completely.
With lots of catfishing and celebrity contestants to come, Netflix has teased that season 4 could be “the spiciest season yet” – but who will emerge as the top influencer?
