News Circles Netflix’s Cult Horror Film Circle Is Getting a Sequel It’s not the Circle of life, I can tell you that much. By Molly Templeton | Published on June 17, 2024 Comment 0 Share New Share Almost 10 years ago, Netflix released a horror film called Circle, which does not have a “the” and is not to be confused with the Dave Eggers novel The Circle (or its adaptation) or the reality show The Circle. In this geometrically named film, 50 strangers find themselves in a very dangerous room under very terrible circumstances: The room keeps killing people. But it’s not really the room. It’s the people in it. Now, Michael Nardelli (who played Eric in and produced the first film) and producer Brent Stiefel are teaming up with writer (and actor) Devon Graye for a sequel—named, in classic horror movie naming convention, Circles. Notably, Variety’s piece about the sequel does not mention the writer-directors of the original film, Aaron Hann and Mario Miscione. We only get one sentence about the plot of Circles: “17 years after being pawns in a cruel game of psychological warfare, the survivors of an invasion face a new threat.” Presumably—spoiler alert for a decade-old film!—this means Circle survivor Eric meets up with other humans who were put through the same incredibly awful process by the aliens whose invasion was revealed at the end of the first film. One can only imagine what future horrors are in store for these maybe not-so-lucky survivors. No casting has been announced for Circles, but if you would like to experience the first movie in preparation, it is on Netflix.
