The Circle has found a new home on Hulu, with the streamer ordering a new version of the juicy reality series.
The series comes from Studio Lambert, the production company behind The Traitors, in which players must choose to either enter the game as themselves or to catfish their way through to win $100,000.
The format first launched on Channel 4 in the UK between 2018 and 2021, before Netflix launched a US version in 2020, which aired for seven seasons.
It has been reported that the Disney-owned Hulu secured the rights to the show after Netflix hadn’t renewed it since season 7, which aired in October 2024.
Unlike the Netflix version, the Hulu series will feature celebrity contestants and will introduce audience voting for the first time in the US.
There are plenty more reality competition series coming to Hulu from Studio Lambert, too. Earlier this year, it was confirmed that Parker Posey would host The Mob, a new reality competition series that sends a group of famous faces to an Italian villa where they will shake down, hustle and whack their way to win up to $250,000.
In each episode, the celebrities will tackle mob movie-inspired jobs to survive, but every mob family needs a don…
The synopsis reads: “Whoever they choose will have absolute power — deciding who makes money, who stays, and who ultimately gets whacked. In a game where power demands absolute loyalty, can the don stay in control, or will the family rise up and overthrow them?”
The Mob features an all star cast, including Demi Engemann (The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives), Bruno Tonioli (Dancing with the Stars) and Aida Turturro (The Sopranos).
Other cast members include William Belli (RuPaul’s Drag Race), Joe Gorga, (The Real Housewives of New Jersey), Harry Jowsey (Too Hot to Handle), Chelsea Lazkani (Selling Sunset), Debi Mazar (Younger), Bella Palk (Love Overboard), Romeo, Maria Georgas (Bachelor Nation) and Shane Parton (Bachelor Nation).
