Series three of The Circle will launch with a special week-long celebrity edition in 2021.
Filming will return to Salford, Greater Manchester, and production on the new series is set to begin later on this year.
The hunt for new contestants for The Circle series three is officially underway.
The Circle sees residents in a plush apartment block living separately and communicating only through The Circle, meaning they can change any part of their identity or remain as themselves.

The popularity game involves contestants rating one another and competing for likes against each other.
More popular players gain power, while least popular ones get blocked before leaving the show.
Once eliminated, players have the chance to meet some of their co-stars in person for the first time, revealing their true identity in the process.
The winner of the show will receive £70,000.
The Circle 2019 winner was Paddy Smyth, who remained as himself throughout the series so he could connect with people without being judged on his disability, cerebral palsy.
