Netflix has a lot of crazy reality TV shows in their library with an amazing set of contestants. But The Circle takes the cake for having the weirdest concept. Nevertheless, the show seems to be popular enough to have a fourth new season made. The Circle season 4 just premiered on Netflix, and the whole world is hooked on it.

People may love the show, which pitches contestants against each other to win a huge cash prize. However, the audience seems to be particularly irritated with this season’s contestants.

What is the show about?

The Circle returns for season 4 on May 4 after three seasons of catfishing, hashtagging, and virtual bonding. The much-anticipated Netflix reality show will star nine newcomers who are eager to make a good first impression.

In the show, some participants take on the role of themselves, while others assume the role of someone else. It’s top-notch catfishing. The stronger your first impression, the more likely you are to stay in the competition.

The disqualified player will have the opportunity to reveal their identity to any cast member for the first time. And the prize is $150,000.
