Look what's entered The Circle season 3 chat — the trailer! Netflix is releasing a new installment of the social media-based reality TV show. And judging by the preview, we can expect more twists to the game.
The Circle has been a huge hit for Netflix, so much so that the streamer launched international editions in Brazil and France. And Netflix has already ordered The Circle seasons 4 and 5! (If you want to be on The Circle, check out the new NetflixReality.com site.)
The concept mashes up Big Brother and Catfish, with contestants living separately in the same building and only able to communicate by messaging each other through The Circle app. Some contestants choose to take on different identities in the hope of winning over the other players. The most recent edition featured several catfish in the finale, including the winner DeLeesa St. Agathe.

Every round, the contestants rank each other, with the top vote-getters earning influencer status and the ability to block other players from the game.
Along the way, the contestants engage in icebreakers and encounter twists that give advantages (or disadvantages). Season 2 introduced the role of the "joker," which allowed Courtney to anonymously chat with new players. And a new twist gave blocked contestants Jack and Lisa a second chance by letting them team up under a new profile.
New twists include something called a "burner profile" and a team of two players, sisters Chanel and Ava.
