AN axed Channel 4 reality series has made a shock comeback on Netflix – but with a twist.
Short-lived show The Circle will land on the streaming giant’s platform with a brand new series this week.
However, it’s not all good news for fans of the UK format as Netflix bosses have commissioned another US series.
The Circle sees contestant move into a newly refurbished block of flats – and handed the keys to their own apartment.
None of the show’s participants have ever met one another in person.
Instead, they communicate by a specially designed social media app.
At the end of the series, the most popular player – the person who accrues the most likes – would win the £100,000 prize money.
Despite the show being a hit with fans, Channel 4 brought down the axe on the UK format after just three series.
Emma Willis hosted the second and third series, while Alice Levine and Maya Jama fronted its debut.
Meanwhile, Emma recently spoke about how The Circle’s axe had left her ‘gutted’.
The 48-year-old told Metro: “The Circle, I absolutely adored it and I was gutted that they didn’t keep going with it.
“Yes, if they brought it back I would love to do it.”
The Circle US’ brand new series will land on Netflix on Wednesday, September 11.
All of the shows we're saying goodbye to this year:
