I'm not a fan of the American one , I always preferred the UK one and the celebrity special was fun aswell.

They should do another celebrity one .

BB incoming?

[Strictly Jake]

What?! Why?! I really like it

[Nicky91]

I'd imagine Netflix will probably buy it up

hope so


it might cost quite some but that is going to be worth it for the rights to stream all of UK series on there worldwide (and to be making newer series)



personally i love the american version, i also like the french and brazilian debut seasons hope they also get a season 2


and i hope if it gets on netflix i can also enjoy the UK version

Wtf why? I'd imagine it's relatively inexpensive to film, and it's pretty popular - winwin!

if Manrika won it wouldn't have been axed

Netflix to revive the circle with transatlantic version

The streaming service will produce and stream The Circle USA, which will feature contestants from both the US and the UK, according to reports.

The success of recent programmes such as Too Hot To Handle, which features contestants from both countries, has inspired producers to acquire a transatlantic cast.

An insider told The Sun: ‘Using an international cast of contestants is an approach that’s already proved successful with similar shows, such as the steamy dating favourite Too Hot to Handle.’

The third series of Netflix’s US version will air later this year, with a further two series already having been commissioned. Auditions for British stars are said to have already started.

The show will continue with its title of The Circle USA as Netflix has not acquired the rights to the British version from Channel 4.

US comedian Michelle Buteau will continue as host of The Circle USA, so The Circle presenter Emma Willis is not expected to return.

Speaking previously about cancelling the show, Channel 4 bosses said: ‘The Circle has been a huge hit for young audiences and has grown successively over three seasons on Channel 4, consistently outperforming slot averages.

‘We’re incredibly proud to have worked with Studio Lambert North and Motion Content Group to invest in such an innovative show and to have given it a springboard for its international format success.

‘In much the same way as when we originally commissioned The Circle, Channel 4 has a responsibility to continually look at how we reinvent and create space for new ideas, and so we have decided not to commission the show for a fourth season.




good solution Netflix :thumbs:

[Nicky91]

also good they continue with Circle USA title rather than fighting for the entirety of the rights of the franchise from Channel 4 which would've taken so much time, and now they can go ahead with many more series content


am already perched again for season 3 of US version




Michelle is much better than Emma anyway :love: love her humour each episode :laugh:
