'Circle' Message: Do You Have What It Takes To Be on the Ultimate Social Media Experiment?

Netflix reality show sensation The Circle is rapidly rising to new heights. With French, Brazilian, U.K., and U.S. versions of the hit series, everyone wants to know how to get on the next season of The Circle.

For anyone who wants a chance to win $100,000, here's what we know about how to apply for The Circle on Netflix.

The social experiment competition show for the social media age "lets online players flirt, befriend, and catfish their way," per its description, toward the fruitful grand prize. Though it's a game of strategy, it's never clear what the best strategy is, which certainly makes each season a fresh and fun adventure. Not to mention the addition of twists and even that Season 6 AI contestant, Max. Producers definitely keep players on their toes.

According to the official website, casting for The Circle's U.S. version is closed as of this writing. However, that appears to be the best place to go to apply to be on The Circle, so at this point, it's important to habitually check back and see if casting opens back up. Because for what it's worth, The Circle casting account on Instagram does have an announcement about "casting for future potential seasons."

The basic requirements for applying include being over 18 years of age, being a legal resident of the U.S. and / or Canada, and being uninvolved with All 3 Media Group and / or Motion Content Group.

Additionally, the website provides a Terms and Conditions document, which includes information regarding proper identification, the casting and selection process, a medical and or psychological assessment, and a background check, among other criteria.

Previous cast members on the show have disclosed that those who make it to the second round of entries are asked for their social media handles, photos of themselves, and an introduction video.

Due to the digital nature of these entries, past contestants have also noted it's important to be as expressive as possible and to be "extra" to let your personality shine through. It's unclear what exact questions contestants may be asked, though.

The Circle's official Instagram page, @castthecircleus, is also a good place to check for updates (and maybe give a follow?) for those interested in joining the show. It may be important to note that this page has not been updated since October 2023.

That could just be because Season 6 and 7 were being produced simultaneously. While we don't have confirmation of that, one follower commented a rumor they heard about the seventh season wrapping filming around the time Season 6 premiered.

The studio behind The Circle has some previous success with reality shows, although nothing akin to the catfishing and social media deception that comes with The Circle.

Studio Lambert's other famous television shows include Undercover Bosses, Naked Attraction, Tattoo Fixers, and Body Fixers.
