The Circle Swaps Netflix for Hulu With Celeb Twist
21 Oct
Summary
- The Circle moves to Hulu for season 8 after four years on Netflix.
- New season features celebrity contestants and real-time filming.
- Viewers will influence the game through audience voting for the first time.
The reality competition series "The Circle" is set to premiere its eighth season on Hulu on November 17, transitioning from its previous home on Netflix. This upcoming season will feature a reimagined format, incorporating celebrity contestants for the first time in the U.S. version, alongside regular participants.
The show will also be filmed in real time, with three new episodes released weekly on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. This fast-turnaround social experiment allows viewers to actively shape the game through audience voting, a significant shift from previous seasons. The season finale is scheduled for December 18.
Christina Najjar, known as Tinx, will host the new season on Hulu. This comes after Michelle Buteau, who hosted the show for seven seasons on Netflix, announced she was not asked to return for the Hulu iteration. The full cast, including the celebrity participants, has yet to be revealed.
