The fourth season of the American reality competition streaming series The Circle premiered on Netflix on May 4, 2022.

Players compete without ever actually meeting in person; they communicate through a simulated social media interface, portraying themselves in any way they choose.

They communicate solely using their profiles on a specially-designed social media app that gives them the ability to portray themselves in any way they choose.

Then, the day after a blocking, a video message is shown to the remaining players to reveal if they were real or fake.

[10][11] Filming for the season took place in Fall 2021 at an apartment complex in Manchester, England.

Various members of the first set of nine players were teased alongside a trailer release on April 27, 2022.

The next morning, the players celebrate making it to the final day in the Circle with video messages from Bru and Alex/Nathan.

The players were then tasked to make their final ratings, with these rankings deciding who wins the game.

Many fans were upset at the fact that most of the players were social media personalities and not "real people".
