The ink might barely be dry on Brandon Baker's check after winning Season 6 of The Circle, but that hasn't stopped fans from wanting to know if there will be a seventh season of the Netflix reality show. The series is the ultimate social media competition wherein players chat with each other from their apartments and don't meet face to face until someone is blocked or until they get to the finale.
It can get intense at times, but viewers can't get enough of the hashtags, emojis, and of course, backstabbing. It's only natural to want to know when and if Season 7 of The Circle is happening. And luckily for fans, the streaming platform released details about the future of the show well before Season 6 even ended. In the words of any number of former Circle contestants, insert shocked face emoji here and send.
When is Season 7 of 'The Circle' happening?
According to Netflix's Tudum news website, The Circle will return for Season 7 in Fall 2024. New episodes will drop every Wednesday, starting on Sept. 11, 2024, with the finale airing on Oct. 2. The schedule for Season 7 is as follows: episodes 1-4 will air on Sept. 11, episodes 5-8 on Sept. 18, episodes 9-12 on Sept. 25, and the finale on Oct. 2.
Like Season 6, Season 7 of The Circle will be filmed in an apartment building in The Big A, aka Atlanta. Netflix has announced that more details about the upcoming season will be revealed as we draw closer to the premiere date.
How long does it take to film a season of 'The Circle'?
There have been reports that filming takes a few weeks and that game play is at an all-time high nearly constantly. An alleged production staff member shared on The Circle subreddit that filming typically lasts three weeks. However, it can't be confirmed if the user really did work on the show at some point.
Still, three or so weeks of filming makes sense for The Circle. Any longer than that for these players each sequestered in their separate apartments might be a little much. Players are kept separate from each other for the duration of the game. And, Quori-Tyler Bullock from Season 6 shared in a TikTok about her time on the show, they were blindfolded and wore headphones whenever they moved from their apartments to other locations.
More than three weeks of that, and it might not make that $100,000 prize worth it. Hey, we said might.
Stream past seasons of The Circle on Netflix and stay tuned for Season 7, arriving in September 2024.
