Meet 'The Circle' Season 5 Cast and How to Find Them on Instagram

The Circle is back on Netflix for season 5 with a whole new cast of players competing in the game.

The reality television show, hosted by actress and comedian Michelle Buteau, follows a group of contestants who live in the same apartment building and communicate through online messaging devices but do not meet face-to-face.

Throughout the game the cast rate each other at ranking ceremonies, with the most popular being deemed "influencers," and the least being at risk of being "blocked" and eliminated from the game.

Contestants can create their online profiles as themselves, or they can be a catfish and play as somebody else, and this season has an extra twist as each contestant is playing as a single person, meaning lots of flirting is in store.

The first batch of the new The Circle episodes was released on December 28 and the season will continue on January 4 and January 11, culminating with the finale on January 18.

With the eclectic mix of new contestants having now made their debut, Newsweek has everything you need to know about the cast of the fifth season of The Circle, including where to find them on social media.
