The seventh season of Netflix’s popular reality show, The Circle, is set to make its return, and fans won’t have to wait long. The streaming service has officially announced that the new season will premiere on September 11, 2024. Known for its unique take on social media-driven competition, the show has built a dedicated audience eager to see the latest group of contestants navigate the complex web of strategy and deception.
What to Expect in The Circle Season 7
The upcoming season promises to bring even more surprises and strategic gameplay. The first four episodes will be released on September 11, 2024, followed by additional episodes in weekly installments. The final episode, where the winner will be crowned, is scheduled to air on October 2, 2024. This format allows viewers to follow the unfolding drama over several weeks, adding to the suspense.

- Week 3 (Episodes 9-12): September 25, 2024

Unlike many reality shows that focus on dating or physical challenges, The Circle emphasizes social interactions within an online environment. Contestants live in separate apartments, only interacting through a social media platform designed specifically for the show. They can choose to present themselves as their true selves or adopt a completely different identity, with the ultimate goal of gaining influence and avoiding elimination.
New Location and Game Twists
While the first five seasons of The Circle were filmed in Manchester, England, the sixth and seventh seasons were shot in Atlanta, Georgia. This shift to the United States has added a new dimension to the show, offering a different cultural backdrop for the unfolding drama.
In the trailer for the upcoming season, host Michelle Buteau teases that this season will be “the most brutal yet,” hinting at more unexpected twists and intense gameplay. Buteau, who has been with the show since its inception, brings her comedic flair to the role, guiding both contestants and viewers through the intricate web of alliances, betrayals, and strategies.
“We’ve got more shocks and twists coming down the line than ever before,” Buteau says in the trailer, setting the stage for a season filled with surprises. The show’s format, which combines elements of strategy, social media influence, and deception, has proven to be a winning formula, and the new season looks to push these elements even further.
More on The Circle’s Impact and Past Seasons
The Circle has quickly become one of Netflix’s standout reality series, thanks to its unique concept and engaging format. Unlike other reality shows, it shifts the focus from physical challenges or romantic entanglements to the complex dynamics of online social interaction. Contestants must navigate friendships, alliances, and rivalries, all while hiding behind a screen. The show’s innovative approach has resonated with viewers, making it a hit across multiple seasons.
In Season 6, which premiered on April 17, 2024, viewers were introduced to Brandon Baker, who played the game as Olivia, a fictional persona. Baker’s clever strategy and ability to deceive other contestants earned him the $100,000 prize, following in the footsteps of previous winners like DeLeesa St. Agathe from Season 2, who also won by posing as someone else. These successes highlight the importance of psychological insight and strategic thinking in The Circle.
As Season 7 approaches, fans are eager to see what new tactics and personalities will emerge. With a fresh group of contestants ready to enter the game, the stakes are higher than ever, and only one will walk away with the grand prize and the title of top influencer.
