List of The Circle (American TV series) episodes

This page provides a list of episodes for the American reality competition show The Circle, which is available on Netflix. The Circle involves contestants living in separate apartments and communicating only through a specially designed social media platform. Players rate each other, and the lowest-rated players are at risk of being "blocked" (eliminated). New players are introduced throughout the game, adding to the social dynamics. The goal is to become the most popular player and win the grand prize.

Each season of The Circle has a specific number of episodes, typically released in batches over several weeks. The episodes document the contestants' interactions, strategies, alliances, and eliminations as they compete. The show highlights themes of authenticity, deception, and the influence of social media on relationships and perceptions.

The information provided below is organized by season. Each season listing includes the season number, year of release, and a listing of individual episodes, usually including the episode title (where available) and a brief description or summary of the episode's key events and developments.
