The first four episodes ar all set to premiere on September 8, while episodes 5-8 will be released on September 15, episodes 9-12 will be available for streaming on September 22, followed by the finale on September 29. Viewers can subscribe to Netflix directly, via a mobile app store (App Store, Google Play). You can also watch it by signing up for the platform’s free trial. Apart from that, viewers can also opt for different subscription plans provided by the streaming giant. 

Plot

Previously, we reported all about what to expect from the show. The format is ahead of its time. It encourages sitting out of homes, limiting any kind of movement, and keeping interactions to a bare minimum, via an app as and when needed.

'The Circle' follows the lives of a group of strangers who are cooped up in plush apartments from where they connect, have fun, stir up conversations via a speech-to-text social media platform, and catfish — all of this to win the impressive $100,000 cash prize.

But the road to finish is not easy. Each of them has to pull stunts and devise strategies in a way that will put him or her on top of the table by the end of each week. After every voting session, there are influencers, who are the most voted contestants, and one who is blocked from playing further. Interestingly, those eliminated have a choice — they can either meet one person or they can choose to leave the building quietly.

Spoilers

'The Circle' fans love nothing more than the good old plot twist. Season 2 introduced the addition of the joker, which meant that Courtney could chat with new players anonymously. This twist ended up giving blocked contestants Jack and Lisa as second chance as they could create a new profile and get back in the game. So, it's only natural that season 3 would also consist of some jaw-dropping twists. The new twists include a burner profile. We will have to watch the show though to know more details about the twist.
