'The Circle' Season 2 Cast's Instagrams Show Off Their IRL Social Media Skills

Open up your DMs: The Circle Season 2 is here. With brand-new contestants, the newest installment of Netflix's hit social media-based reality show is serving up even more hilarious challenges and digital drama. In the meantime, why not get to know the contestants even better? Behold, The Circle Season 2 cast's Instagrams...

Based on the British reality series of the same name, The Circle became a smash-hit for Netflix when its first season premiered in January 2020. The reality show/"social experiment" placed 14 contestants in separate apartments, where they vied to be the most popular player through text-based communication only. They took part in challenges, formed alliances, and (in the case of some contestants) pulled off some seriously convincing catfishing. Honestly, it's perfect pandemic TV.

Over the course of the season, players rank one another each week. Those with the highest number of votes become "influencers" who can choose which of the lowest vote-getters get eliminated and potentially win the final $100,000 cash prize. While being a social media pro IRL can be helpful in this game, it's not a requirement (for instance, Season 1 fan-favorite Shubham Goel wasn't into posting online at all).

Naturally, there's plenty of online drama to go around, especially since new players often join the game unexpectedly. As you watch, you can get to know members of The Circle Season 2's cast by checking their Instas for all the juicy details.
