The Circle season 7 guide: Episode release schedule, players social media, and more to know!

As I delve deeper into the captivating world of The Circle Season 7, I can’t help but feel the thrill and anticipation that comes with each new episode. With a diverse cast hailing from different walks of life, it’s clear that this season is brimming with intrigue and drama.

Fans who have started watching The Circle season 7 can’t seem to tear themselves away, and it’s easy to see why! This Netflix reality competition show consistently ranks high in its genre, leaving us craving more. One aspect that makes The Circle so captivating is the unpredictable twists and turns it throws at us. While not all of these twists are perfect, I must admit that one example is the AI player.

Previously on The Circle, an artificially intelligent robot joined the competition. Frankly, it fell flat. As we’re into episode 4 of season 7, there’s been no hint of AI involvement yet – here’s to hoping it keeps that trend! Now, onto the topic of episodes…

The Circle season 7 guide: Episode release schedule, players social media, and more to know!

What are your thoughts on this series release schedule? Are you more anxious or thrilled while waiting for fresh episodes? For myself, I find the anticipation exhilarating, yet I can’t help but wish that the final episode was released in Week 3 instead of having to wait an additional week.

Meet the players (and follow them on Instagram!)

In the usual fashion, “The Circle” comprises individuals from diverse backgrounds. Notably, an AI bot graced our screens last season. Fortunately, thus far, only humans have been encountered! Here’s a rundown of those we’ve met and those yet to appear (at least for now).

Savannah, age 22. Savannah is a recent college grad from Texarkana, Texas, and is joining the game with her dog Samson. Follow Savannah on Instagram HERE.
Heather, age 26. Heather is a rock band manager from Nashville, Tennessee, who is entering the game as her friend (and former boyfriend) Andy. Follow Heather on Instagram HERE.
Kevin, age 23. Kevin is from San Diego, California, and is as friendly as they come! But he is here to win the game and won’t hesitate to strategize to get to the finish line. Follow Kevin on Instagram HERE.
Garret, age 30. Garret is from sunny Los Angeles, California, and is the happiest cat daddy you’ll ever meet. Follow Garret on Instagram HERE.
Darian, age 29. Make way for another player from Texas. This time, it’s Houston! Darian is a Southern gentleman who is going in as his authentic self! Follow Darian on Instagram HERE.
Deb, age 54. What’s that smell? Oh, it’s a catfish! Deb is from Pittsburgh and going in as a 26-year-old “version of herself,” but will she be able to keep up with this young crowd? Follow Deb on Instagram HERE.
Jadejha, age 24. Is that a Circle Romance I’m sensing between Jadejha and another player? No spoilers here! But you’ll want to stay tuned! Let’s just say, Jadejha is also from Houston. Follow Jadejha on Instagram HERE.
Antonio, age 31. Tennessee is sending us another player in Antonio, who Netflix teases is ready to be as messy and petty as needed! Follow Antonio on Instagram HERE.
Madelyn, age 25. Madelyn is from Franklin, Georgia, and is an education staffer by day, and manages her OnlyFans business by night. I know I said no spoilers, but you’ll want to keep an eye on Madelyn this season! Follow Madelyn on Instagram HERE.
Nicky and Jojo, age 24. Alert! We’ve got twins! The Scarlotta twins are loud and proud, but they don’t think they can win that way. So they are entering the game as Nick’s girlfriend, Gianna. Follow the Scarlotta twins (yes, they share an account) on Instagram, HERE.

What does the winner of The Circle get?

Once more, the victor of ‘The Circle’ walks away with a prize of $100,000! However, to secure the win, they must navigate through the competition by winning people over – this season is particularly messy! Contestants need to polish their social skills in flirting and be prepared for potentially hurting some feelings during the process.

What is the Disruptor twist?

The twist of the season is revealed right away, it’s called The Disruptor. Before each elimination, the players will have the chance to ask to become The Disruptor. What does this do? It’s different each time. Bottom line, they’ll be given either an advantage or disadvantage, it’s a gamble that may be well worth the risk OR ruin their game.

Quick episodes 1-4 highlights (spoilers ahead!)

If you haven’t had a chance to watch the initial four episodes of The Circle season 7, it’s advisable to halt your reading here. Last and final spoiler alert!

In simpler terms, the first two individuals pretending to be someone else are named Heather (posing as Andy) and Savannah. Before anyone was eliminated, it was Nicky and Jojo (disguised as Gianna) who caused a disruption. Interestingly, due to being the Disruptors, the twins were able to stay in the game. This was fortunate for them because if they hadn’t had this power, they might have been blocked by Savannah and Heather (Andy). As a result, no one left the competition that day. However, things are going to get uncomfortable later on when Savannah and Heather (Andy) will need to discuss this with Gianna.

On the second occasion that The Disruptor mode became available, Kevin seized the opportunity and was granted the authority to organize a gathering. However, there was a condition: Kevin could only extend invitations to two individuals for the party, with an additional pair of newcomers joining them. After much consideration, Kevin chose to invite Gianna and Darian.

In episode 3, it was revealed that Kevin, Nicky, and Jojo (Gianna) were the new influencers announced. However, this round saw someone getting blocked for the first time. Unfortunately, there wasn’t a Disruptor available to intervene in this situation. Kevin and the twins couldn’t seem to reach an agreement, but they eventually decided to block Savannah from moving forward.

In Episode 4, players were given an opportunity to assume the role of The Disruptor once more. Darian, Deb (representing Rachel), Madelyn, and Heather as Andy all opted to cause disruption. Interestingly, two Disruptors were selected this time: Deb (acting as Rachel) and Madelyn. Their power wasn’t overwhelming, but they could swap profiles and play as the other character until the next interception. A tricky situation arose since if either of them got blocked, both would have to exit the game. Oops! The outcome seemed uncertain.
