The Circle: Celebrity Edition" Brings Star Power to Hulu's Hit Reality Competition Show
Hulu has announced a new edition of the popular competition series "The Circle," which originally aired on Netflix. The new version will feature celebrity players alongside everyday contestants in a game of popularity where identities are ever-changing. The series will be filmed in real-time, allowing audience voting to shape the game as it unfolds. The host and full cast for the new edition will be revealed at a later date.
This move by Hulu marks a departure from Disney's usual reality show offerings, which have focused on dating series and franchise expansions. The new series, "The Mob," hosted by Parker Posey, is a high-stakes reality competition set in a lavish Italian villa where celebrities compete for cash prizes. The decision to include celebrity contestants in "The Circle" is inspired by the success of similar formats like "The Traitors."
"The Circle" is produced by Studio Lambert, Omaha Productions, and Motion Entertainment. Executive producers for Studio Lambert include Tim Harcourt, Jack Burgess, Niall O'Driscoll, and Stephen Lambert. Peyton Manning, Jamie Horowitz, and Colin Campbell will executive produce for Omaha Productions, while Martin Oxley and Chet Fenster will do so for Motion Entertainment. Susan House serves as the showrunner, and All3Media International handles international format and tape sales for the series.
The new edition of "The Circle" on Hulu promises an exciting twist on the original series, with celebrity players adding a new dynamic to the game. Stay tuned for more updates on the host and cast as the premiere date approaches.
