In a game of strategy and tactics, the cast must use alliances and friendships to win a place in the villa. Those in the villa at the end of the series compete for a cash prize.

The series is launching in spring 2023 and is a coproduction between Stephen Lambert’s Studio Lambert (The Circle) and Raw (Tinder Swindler).

Nia Yemoh, Stephen Yemoh and Tim Harcourt exec produce for Studio Lambert, Pete Campion, Ross Goodlass and Oliver Calleja for Raw.

In 2018, Netflix acquired global adaptation rights for The Circle, a Studio Lambert reality format that was initially commissioned by Channel 4 in the UK. It has since produced several international versions. All3Media-owned Lambert is also known for classic reality formats such as Wife Swap and Undercover Boss.
