Netflix's hit reality show The Circle has returned for a new season, with a stacked cast of players competing to be the most popular person in the show's closed social media channel. This time around, the competitors in the Circle's isolated apartments all come with some sort of social media experience, from content creators with millions of followers to a familiar face that's been seen on the show before.

In case you haven't caught up since the season premiered on May 4, there's already been a big surprise. The first episodes of this season saw Spice Girls Mel B and Emma Bunton dropping into the show as catfish with a specific mission to go undetected among the cast. The May 11 drop shows that the pop stars were successful, increasing this season's prize money to $150,000, which will go to one lucky winner.

Below, meet all the players from The Circle season 4.
