When will 'The Circle' Season 5 release and where to watch it?
While an exact premiere date hasn't been revealed, the show is expected to return to Netflix by the end of this year.
What is 'The Circle' Season 5 all about?
The show follows a set of players who live in separate apartments (in the same building), and interact with one another virtually. The contestants can lie as much or as little as they want on their social media profiles as they attempt to become the winner of the season. They are occasionally asked to rate one another, and the two highest-ranking persons are frequently designated as ‘influencers’. These contestants are given the option to ‘block’ or ‘remove’ another player, which they might use to improve their own strategic positions.
Who stars in the ‘The Circle’ Season 5?
Michelle Buteau will be back to host the fifth season. She is a stand-up comedian, actress, television host, and podcast host. In 2017, Buteau was listed as one of ten comedians to watch by Esquire. She has also appeared in movies such as 'Someone Great', 'Always Be My Maybe' and 'Sell By'.
The rest of the cast will be announced by Netflix before the premiere.
