The synopsis of the upcoming season reads:
"The new season of the reality competition, officially called The Circle: Singles, will follow players who claim to be romantically available as they jockey for popularity with their sequestered co-stars. Some of these competitors will be telling the truth, and others will be strategically catfishing as a singleton, all in the hopes of winning Season 5’s cash prize."It continues:
"Shubham ‘Shubi’ Goel, who thrived in The Circle Season 1, will be one of those game players. You can expect more flirting, more drama and lots of surprises as these singles battle it out to be named top influencer."The contestants will take home a grand prize of $100,000. Tune in on December 28 to see what happens when The Circle season 5 premieres on Netflix.
