The popular reality series ‘The Circle’ has begun a new season of production in Atlanta and will be streamed on Hulu instead of Netflix.
The reality competition ‘The Circle’ is back on set, this time filming its upcoming season in Atlanta, Georgia. Production crews have set up in the city’s studio facilities, where contestants will live in separate apartments and interact solely through a custom social media platform, as per the show’s format.
The series, which debuted on Netflix, has secured a new distribution deal with Hulu. The streaming giant will host the upcoming episodes, marking the first time the franchise will be available on a platform other than Netflix.
Industry analysts note that the move reflects Hulu’s strategy to expand its reality‑TV portfolio, while the producers aim to tap into a broader U.S. audience. The shift also aligns with the show’s tradition of rotating filming locations, with Atlanta offering diverse settings for the next round of social‑experiment gameplay.
