He describes himself as a golden retriever who is trustworthy, loyal, and kind. The self-proclaimed “CEO of Radio TikTok” has also collaborated with Jason Derulo and Addison Rae. He hosted the premiere of 'Spiderman: No Way Home' earlier last year and even attended the Vanity Fair Oscar party this year.
Crissa Jackson
"I'm entering The Circle as your mom," Crissa said in the trailer. It's unclear whether she will catfish her fellow players, or if she'll stay herself and become the top influencer based on her basketball skills, which she's frequently showed off on Instagram. As the 13th woman to play for the Harlem Globetrotters, 31-year-old Crissa Jackson plans to tackle 'The Circle' with the same “full-court vision.” Additionally, she is also a comedian, actor, motivational speaker, and social media influencer. She was nominated as the Queer Advocate of the Year by GLAAD Media Awards in 2021. Now working as a basketball-influenced social media content creator, Crissa already boasts more than 13.8 million TikTok followers and another million-plus on Instagram.

"Catch me in your living rooms on May 4th for Season 4 of the Circle," Frank wrote via Instagram ahead of the trailer's release. He is seen in the trailer's first moments, joking that Netflix needs to "pay y'all f**king bills" after the group is alerted about a "data breach." Frank Grimsley is a stand-up comedian as well as a musician. He enjoys sports and is a passionate football fan. The Maryland native describes himself as an influencing school social worker, licensed therapist, storyteller, content creator, and, of course, the next big thing. “I like to call myself the big boy with a big personality,” he joked in his intro. “I’m fun as hell. People love me.”
John
The New Jersey resident will be playing the game as his mother Carol which leads to some awkward moments with his castmates. "I'm just realizing now that I'm going to have to reply as my mom," he says at one point in his intro. John Franklin is a content creator, storyteller, and tv personality. Unknown to many, he has a Youtube channel where he discusses content related to fashion and skincare. More notably, John is also a licensed therapist.
Alex
Alex Brizard, 28, is from Arizona and works as a commercial banker. He is also a co-host of the podcast ‘Two Dudes Watch Cartoons’. On Instagram, Alex describes himself as a “professional nerd". In his intro, he mentioned that he’s kind of like a catfish in real life because his personal and professional lives are so different. That's why he will be appearing as 22-year-old Nathan Alex Brizard, a digital creator whom he describes as a hot, young, fun, fresh-out-of-college frat bro.
Parker Abbott
The 21-year-old student from Miami, Florida, Parker Abbott describes herself as a “popping bottles kind of girl” whose “only two personality traits really are being in a sorority and going out and partying". However, the master strategist Parker isn't using her sexy Instagram photos on 'The Circle' instead she's actually going to be catfishing everyone as Paul, her 46-year-old father. Parker Abbott is a fashion enthusiast, socialite, and media personality, who occasionally gives sneak peeks of what she is up to on Instagram. Although, she likes to keep content related to her life and relationships personal.

29-year-old Rachel is no stranger to social media. According to her Instagram, she's the social media editor for the popular YouTube channel Smosh. Having had paranormal experiences as a kid in Houston, Texas, she also works as a professional ghost hunter, which means she'll be constantly on the lookout for clues. Known for being funny and charming, she also plays Accordion. Rachel also has a self-deprecating take on her formative years, joking, “Growing up as a Jewish, chubby kid, nobody told me that I was a dweeb, so I have grown up my entire life thinking that I’m just the coolest.”
Yu Ling
"If one of you tells my mom I swear to GOD!!!!!" the New York-based brand marketing consultant wrote on Instagram after the cast was announced. Yu Ling Wu is a storyteller, social media strategist, model, artist, and Youtuber. Unapologetically obsessed with fashion, she is always trying out different make-up products and serving fans with new looks via social media. A self-described first-and-a-half generation Chinese American, Yu Ling Wu recalls her immigrant parents “working to make sure that there was food on the table” while she was growing up in San Francisco. “So I would say that I was raised culturally by MTV, VH1,” the 25-year-old brand marketing consultant quipped.
Season 4 of 'The Circle' premieres Wednesday, May 4, on Netflix.
