If you’re a fan of Jack Atkins, or “Emily” on The Circle USA, then you’ve come to the right place.
The Circle US returned to Netflix on Wednesday, April 14th. Just the first four episodes were released on that date, as the series will be staggered across a period to Wednesday, May 5th.
With $100,000 up for grabs, the players are more ready than ever to catfish their way to the top.
Who is Jack Atkins from The Circle US?
Jack is a 20-year-old college student who is taking on The Circle US as Emily.
Jack describes Emily as a 21-year-old “cute, short, sweet” sorority girl in episode 1. He’s hoping to make alliances with both the guys and the girls through Emily.
His young age could help him in this game, as season 1 of The Circle US on Netflix saw 23-year-old Shubham Goel take home the prize.
