The Circle

2018–2021 · 3 seasons

A playful, gossipy social experiment that feels like eavesdropping on a friendly but strategic popularity contest.

Overview: Players from all walks of life will compete to win up to £50,000. All living in one modern block but separately in individual apartments, the players will never come face-to.face, and can only interact with one another through an specially-designed app called The Circle.
How it feels: Light, satirical, campy and warm. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Identity, deception, media, celebrity
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
