The Circle Finds New Home on Hulu!
10 Jun
Summary
- Hulu has ordered a new version of the social experiment reality show.
- The new version will feature celebrity contestants and audience voting.
- The show will be filmed in real time, offering a fast-turnaround experience.
Hulu has ordered a new version of the reality competition series, The Circle, which previously aired on Netflix. This marks a significant acquisition for the Disney streamer, as Netflix did not renew the show after its seventh season concluded in October 2024.
The upcoming Hulu iteration will distinguish itself by featuring celebrity contestants alongside everyday players. For the first time in the U.S. iteration, viewers will have the opportunity to vote, influencing the game's direction. The show is being reimagined as a fast-turnaround social experiment, filmed in real time to provide immediate access to twists and player ratings.
Contestants will live in isolation in separate apartments within the same building, communicating solely through a dedicated app. They can choose to play as themselves or adopt entirely new personas. The format, originally launched in the UK, has previously seen success on Netflix with multiple international versions, including those in France and Brazil.
