The Circle
Be whoever it takes to win
The Circle is a bold entertainment format that asks provocative questions about identity and the way we live our lives through social media.
A group of strangers compete to win a large cash prize – all living in one modern building but only interacting with one another through a bespoke voice-activated social media platform called The Circle.
Appearances are everything and no one wants to be rated the least popular by the rest. But how will each member of The Circle play the game? And will the others believe them?
