EW has dropped the first trailer for season 5 of Netflix’s titled The Circle. It has promised all that and more. The footage, which you can watch below, also debuts the surprise return of fan-favorite, Shubham Goel, a.k.a. Shooby, who landed as runner-up behind best bro Joey Sasso back in season 1.
As the trailer teases, this time around, Netflix’s social media competition will feature players who are all single and ready to hashtag mingle. More flirting, more catfishing, more drama, and more surprises await as a new set of contestants compete in challenges to earn the ultimate cash prize as a top influencer. Michelle Buteau is once again back as the show’s host and commentator.
As EW previously revealed, the new episodes, which roll out each Wednesday starting Dec. 28, will feature 11 new players, including Brett Robinson, who was a contestant on Big Brother 20. Three contestants are set to enter the game as catfish.
Different phases of the competition will be featured across 13 hour-long episodes in the following release cadence:
Week 1 (Wednesday, Dec. 28): Episodes 1-4
Week 2 (Wednesday, Jan. 4): Episodes 5-8
Week 3 (Wednesday, Jan. 11): Episodes 9-12
Week 4 (Wednesday, Jan. 18): Finale Episode
The new players come with big shoes to fill this season. Season 4’s winner Frank Grimsley walked away with a grand prize of $150,000, which was more than any previous winner.
