The Circle proved such a hit in the UK that the reality show's format moved across the pond, and now The Circle USA on Netflix is equally gripping viewers.
The series, which originally aired on Channel 4 in 2018, sees eight players take part in the game – and it seems fans are all loving contestant Shubham Goel.

The premise of the US series, which is dubbed Big Brother meets Catfish, is the same as the original. Contestants live in individual apartments and compete to be the most popular without ever meeting.
Via the social media app and their profiles, the players can portray themselves however they choose. They can be themselves, or pose as someone entirely different to raise their popularity. The contestants all rate each other based on their profiles and some are left blocked. In the finale, whoever is the highest rated wins the jackpot prize of US $100,000.
After the success of series one, Netflix announced in March 2020 that they had renewed the American version of the reality programme for another two seasons. Although it's not yet confirmed when the new episodes will launch.
