The Circle (U.S. version) was primarily filmed in an apartment building located in Salford, near Manchester, England, specifically at the Adelphi Wharf Phase One building. This location was used for Seasons 1 through 5, where the contestants lived in separate furnished apartments rigged with cameras, along with shared amenities like an exercise room and rooftop lounge. The building features a large illuminated circle on its exterior and was chosen because the original UK version of the show was filmed there, making it practical to use the same site for the U.S. production initially
. Starting with Seasons 6 and 7, filming moved to a new location in Atlanta, Georgia, USA
. In summary:
- Seasons 1-5: Filmed in Salford, Manchester, England (Adelphi Wharf Phase One building)
- Seasons 6-7: Filmed in Atlanta, Georgia, USA
