What is the theme for The Circle season 5?
For the first time in the U.S. edition, The Circle seems to have a unifying theme.

How does The Circle work?
The Circle involves contestants from all walks of life who are sequestered by themselves in individual apartments contained in the same building. Their only companion is the voice-activated platform called “The Circle,” which they can use to talk with fellow contestants. But displaying themselves purely through their profile allows them to be whoever they want, whether it’s themselves, another version of themselves or someone completely different.
How are players eliminated on The Circle?
Periodically throughout the season, the contestants are asked to rank their competitors. Those who finish at the top are called “Influencers,” and must decide who among the remaining players should be eliminated. Once they have made their decision, that player is “blocked” and must leave his or her apartment. Before they go, though, they have an opportunity to visit any other contestant they want, as well as record a video revealing who they are.When the group gets down to four or five players, one final rating takes place before the contestants meet face-to-face. The top finisher of that final ranking wins the game and the $150,000 prize that goes with it.
How much are players on The Circle paid?
While it’s unknown how much stipend players get the longer they stay on the season, the winner gets a cool $150,000 for finishing in the top spot at the end of it all, upped from $100,000 from seasons 1-3. Additionally, viewers can vote for their favorite player, who will receive a $10,000 prize.
Who is the host of The Circle?
Actress and comedian Michelle Buteau is returning for her fifth season as host of The Circle.
Where is The Circle filmed?
Producers went to great lengths to make us believe that season 1 of The Circle was filmed in Chicago—with photos of the Chicago skyline and drone footage of iconic landmarks! But did they convince us? Nope! The Circle season 1 was actually filmed in Salford, England. And producers used a similar location for the remaining seasons, filming in Manchester, United Kingdom.
Is The Circle scripted?
The actors aren’t memorizing lines or being given multiple takes to get the scene just right but, like every other reality show, they are being nudged by producers and given suggestions on angles. And don’t get us started on the editing process. They are definitely editing and arranging the footage to show off exactly what they want.
What happened on season 4 of The Circle?
Despite it being the twistiest season yet, Frank Grimsley stayed at the top of everyone’s ratings the entire time. His popularity and social connections gave him the victory in the finale. He finished at the top of the final rankings over fellow finalists Trevor St. Agathe, Yu Ling Wu, Rachel Evans, and Eversen Bevelle. TikTok personality Josh “Bru” Brubaker won the Fan Favorite Award of $10,000, making him the first non-finalist to win the award.
What is the British version of The Circle?
The series started in 2018 on Channel 4 in the U.K. The show caught on like wildfire, and proved popular with the younger demographic that lives its day-to-day life on social media. Unfortunately, after three civilian seasons and one celebrity season, the series was canceled in the U.K. But Netflix partnered with Studio Lambert to pick up three international versions in late 2018, calling the premise “compelling, timely, and buzzworthy.”
What are the current statuses of the other versions of The Circle?
The Brazilian and French versions of The Circle, which aired in March and April 2020, respectively, have not been formally renewed for any future seasons. The British version aired both a civilian and celebrity version in 2021. However, that proved to be the final outing of The Circle for its mother country.
Was The Circle renewed for season 6?
The Circle hasn’t been renewed for season 6 yet. The season 4 and 5 pick-ups came because the seasons were filmed together, so the delay is not surprising. We’ll wait to see if Netflix renews the show for another season or seasons.
