In November 2023, Netflix announced The Circle seasons 6 and 7 renewals, confirming that both seasons were filmed in Atlanta. It is highly probable that season 7 was filmed right after season 6 concluded, and if that's the case, The Circle fans will not have to wait too long before it premieres. According to Distractify, a staff member who had previously worked on the show indicated that filming took approximately three weeks. It means that if filming started immediately after The Circle season 6 wrapped up filming, it is currently in the post-production stage.

The Circle Season 7's Potential Release Window

It is estimated that The Circle season 7 will come out in early 2025 or as early as fall 2024. Netflix hasn't provided the actual dates for when The Circle season 7 will drop. However, previous seasons have debuted around April, May, and September. Therefore, there's a good chance The Circle season 7 will have the same timeframe and The Circle season 7 trailer will drop two weeks before the official debut date. Although The Circle season 7 has apparently been filmed, there has been no official communication from the streaming service, Netflix on when it will grace the screens.

The Circle Season 7's Potential Cast

Michelle Buteau will most likely return as The Circle season 7 host. The Circle season 6 introduced an interesting twist to the show by bringing a chatbot contestant. The AI joined The Circle as a 26-year-old veterinary intern, Max, who loved dogs and described himself as an "animal whisperer." With the presentation of AI on the show and the character getting introduced way too early, there is a chance that The Circle season 7 will have a chatbot as a cast member that will not be revealed to the contestants until the AI gets blocked or wins the competition.

Luckily for The Circle fans, producers cast a wide range of cast members, from contestants playing themselves, while others opt to get in as catfish. The Circle season 6 had some of the most competitive and strategic players ever. Some of them, like Brandon Baker and Quori-Tyler Bullock, had studied in previous seasons and came in ready to win. Previously, The Circle did cast celebrities such as the Spice Girls, Emma Button and Mel B, who posed as random 20-something-year-old dudes.

The show has also brought forth cast members posing as previous bigger versions of themselves, with the recent culprit being Jordan Staff, a contestant in The Circle season 6, who turned out to be one of the most hated players on the internet. Soon enough, The Circle season 7 cast will be revealed, and the viewers will see these cast members unmask the catfish. Additionally, the audience will also see the exchange of peach and other flirtatious emojis that signify the possibility of an actual romance outside The Circle.

The Circle season 6 is available for streaming on Netflix.
