“The Circle” fans get ready because a new season is right around the corner!
TODAY.com can exclusively reveal that Season 7 of “The Circle” will premiere on Netflix Wednesday Sept. 11. Episodes 1 through 4 will be released first and the rest of the season will arrive over the next three weeks.
The Season 7 finale will be available to stream on Wednesday, Oct. 2.
Following the format from previous seasons, the new contestants will move into a high-tech apartment where they will only communicate with each other via “The Circle.”
To reach the end of the game, some players will catfish as other people and strategically build the strongest connections to stay safe. Meanwhile, many contestants will play the game as their authentic selves as they try to navigate any chaos “The Circle” causes.
Players who are well liked will become influencers who can block other contestants from “The Circle,” sending them home. The player who plays the best game will win $100,000.
TODAY.com also has an exclusive trailer of the upcoming season that teases new twists that will shake up the game.
As host Michelle Buteau says in a voiceover, “The Circle” is “the ultimate game of social media, strategy and game play.”
“We’ve got more shocks and twists coming down the line than ever before,” she adds. “And this time, things are about to get really disrupted.”
She also described Season 7 as “the most brutal season yet.”
The clip showed glimpses of the players who will be competing this season. The full cast for Season 7 will be announced at a later date.
Season 7 shortly follows Season 6, which released its finale on May 8. During that season, Brandon Baker, who was catfishing as his friend back home named “Olivia,” charmed the other contestants and made cutthroat moves at the end that helped him secure the cash prize.
Baker became the second catfish to win it all after Season 2 star DeLeesa St. Agathe, who pretended to be her husband, “Trevor.”
So, will another catfish be successful in Season 7? Follow along on TODAY.com for more updates throughout the season.
