The second season of The Circle USA is reportedly being filmed in the UK this month.

The international versions of the popular Channel 4 series are filmed in the same Manchester location as the UK show, with local contestants and hosts flown into the UK to take part.

Channel 4 recently concluded filming on a third UK series as well as a celebrity version and according to Deadline, production on the second US season began straight afterwards.

The news comes despite the ongoing travel restrictions relating to coronavirus and Manchester's impending move into tier 3 status - the highest level of social restrictions in the UK.

Earlier this year Netflix gave a two-season renewal to the US version of The Circle following its successful debut on the platform in January.
