If you need your fix of The Circle since the show disappeared from UK TV, a new series of the American version begins on Netflix this week. So who will be in it and how much is the prize money?
The Circle USA, inspired by the British Channel 4 show, challenges contestants to become the most popular through social media posts. But contestants can choose to be themselves, or 'catfish' their fellow competitors by living an online lie and pretending to be somebody else. The most popular are chosen to be 'influencers' and the least popular get 'blocked' out of the game.
Despite living near each other, during the game, the contestants do not get to meet each other in real life. Netflix promises its latest season will be the 'Spiciest' of The Circle so far.
