Of course, including The Spice Girl’s Emma Bunton and Mel B in The Circle season four was truly iconic, however, season six’s twist is perfectly on brand for the catfishing show.

As usual, The Circle will feature a bunch of cast members who will chat with each other through their avatars from their private rooms. However, not all of the #circlefam will be human this year.

Yup, one of the faces chatting with their fellow contestants will actually be an AI bot.

Which contestant will be the AI bot?

The Circle season six cast will be introduced to Max, who’s actually an artificial intelligence chatbot but has been designed to become the most popular player in the game.

The creators of Max taught him to study past seasons and used previous competitors so that he could create the perfect profile and dialect.

“Basically, Max is social media catnip for the rest of the players, who initially have no idea that an AI bot is among them,” Netflix’s Tudum reported.

Max will be a 26-year-old veterinary intern from America’s mid-west who will have a dog in his profile pic, because, according to Max pups in pics “receive 38% more likes on social media.”

When does The Circle season six come out in Australia?

The brand-spanking new season will drop on Netflix in Australia on April 17, which is the same day as the US.

Unfortunately, the entire season won’t be available to binge straight away. The first four eps will drop on the premiere date, and four more will drop every Wednesday before the season finale on May 8.
