The Circle is returning to Netflix with a new flirtatious twist and a new collection of possible catfishes who may or may not be romantically available. According to Netflix’s Tudum:
“The Circle: Singles, the next season of the reality show, will follow contestants who claim to be romantically available as they compete for popularity with their secluded co-stars. Some of these participants will be speaking the truth, while others will be catfishing as a singleton in order to win Season 5’s cash prize.”
Marvin Archi is one of the future season’s participants. He may be recognized by the audience due to his appearance on America’s Got Talent. He was set to be a cast member on Big Brother season 24, however, he was replaced by Joseph Abdin.

Marvin Achi of The Circle is a USA Body Physique national champion.
Season 5 of The Circle will include a face that previously appeared on television screens as part of Season 17 of America’s Got Talent. Initially, it was assumed that he was replaced on Big Brother 24 due to conflicting dates, however, The Sun then stated that Marvin was removed because he had already been on television. He said in his BB application that he had never been on television before, which was a deal breaker. The chemical processing engineer, 28, was born in Rivers State, Nigeria, and now resides in Houston, Texas. People frequently assume he’s arrogant because of his physical appearance and ability, he says. He competed on Season 17 of America’s Got Talent but was not chosen as one of the top 55 performers for the semifinals.
He demonstrated an experiment to the judges at his audition. One of his beakers spilled chemicals over his shirt as part of the experiment, which he removed to show off his physique to Yello’s Oh Yeah. While Howie Mandel was unimpressed, Heidi Klum, Sofia Vergara, and Simon Cowell voted in his favor, moving him to the next round. The forthcoming The Circle season 5 competitor is a fitness model, USA Body Physique national champion, and trainer. The social media influencer already has a big following across various platforms, including 562K followers on Instagram, where he talks about his exercise routine, among other things.
Marvin Achi is not the only participant who has previously been featured on a reality program. Brett Robinson, who previously featured on Big Brother season 20, will join him. Brian Clark as Brittney, Billie Jean Blackett as Bruno, Chaz Lawrey, Oliver Twixst, Raven Sutton, Sam Carmona, Shubham Goel, Tasia Lesley as Tamira, Tom Houghton, and Xanthi Perdikomatis are among those joining The Circle for season 5.
Michelle Buteau hosts the program.
Participants in the forthcoming season of The Circle will either adopt fictitious identities or act as themselves. They will then communicate online while living in an apartment. The winner will be the one who makes it to the final round without disclosing their identity. Michelle Buteau, who hosted the first four seasons, will host the fifth. The first four episodes of the program will premiere on Netflix on Wednesday, December 28 at 3:01 a.m. ET.
