Tinx Will Host the Revived The Circle on Hulu, Premiering November 17

Creator, author and SiriusXM host Tinx will host the revival of The Circle, the reality competition show, on Hulu. Variety reported the casting on October 21, 2026.

The show ran for seven seasons on Netflix, where comedian Michelle Buteau hosted it. Deadline reported in June 2026 that the series was moving to Hulu as a new version made by Studio Lambert. The revival premieres on Hulu on November 17. It is also available on Hulu through Disney+ for bundle subscribers, meaning people who pay for a package of several streaming services.

The contestants are a mix of celebrities and everyday players, and this is the first U.S. version to let audiences vote. In The Circle, players live in separate apartments and chat with each other through a phone-style messaging system. They can only see each other's profiles, and they try to win by building a rapport and avoiding elimination. Viewers and players both help decide who moves on.

The season runs three new episodes a week, on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, for five weeks. The finale airs on Friday, December 18.

Studio Lambert, Omaha Productions and Motion Entertainment are producing the revival. Susan House is the showrunner, the person in charge of the show's day-to-day creative direction. All3Media International is handling international sales of the format and of the finished episodes to other broadcasters.

Tinx, whose real name is Christina Najjar, is best known in the U.S. for her SiriusXM call-in show It's Me, Tinx, which premiered in 2022. She also wrote The Shift: Change Your Perspective, Not Yourself, a 2023 book that appeared on the New York Times bestseller list. Her 2025 novel Hotter in the Hamptons followed. Both books are in development for television, with Tinx as an executive producer.

For viewers, the practical detail is the date. The first episode lands on Hulu on November 17, and the last one airs a month later.
