‘The Circle’ reveals cast for Hulu debut on November 17
Season 8 will mix celebrities with everyday contestants competing for US$100,000, with Tinx taking over as host.
Hulu has announced 11 starting contestants for Season 8 of The Circle, which premieres November 17 as the reality competition moves from Netflix. The lineup will bring celebrities and everyday contestants together for the first time, competing to become the most popular player and collect US$100,000.
The celebrity participants include The Bachelorette’s Hannah Brown and Dancing With the Stars’ Sasha Farber. Layla Taylor, from The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, and Dominic “Chef Dom” DeAngelis, from Vanderpump Villa, are also joining the competition. Contestants can use their own identities or pose as someone else; one will impersonate Lisa Vanderpump.
Viewers will gain a role in shaping the competition through live audience voting, a new feature for the series. An initial vote is already open to decide which identity Taylor and her friend Kate Racker will adopt in the game.
Tinx will replace Michelle Buteau as host after Buteau led the show’s seven Netflix seasons. Hulu will release episodes at 9 p.m. ET on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, beginning November 17.
