The days of watching reality TV all weekend on Netflix may be over.
The streaming service will be bringing back "Too Hot to Handle" and "The Circle" for new seasons. However, in renewing the reality TV shows, Netflix will change the release schedule of the shows to release them weekly, rather than releasing all episodes at once when a new season debuts.
"The Circle" will premiere on April 14 with four episodes, and that process will continue every Wednesday until the season finale on May 5. According to Netflix, a premiere date for "Too Hot to Handle" has not yet been announced, but the new season will It will appear.
Splitting up episodes may be an unusual approach for Netflix, but it is something other streaming services are doing; Apple TV Plus and Disney Plus offer regular weekly episodes, with the latter currently offering "Falcon and The Winter Soldier" is available.
Netflix's other reality series have also been delivered weekly in the past, and at the time Netflix claimed it had no plans to move away from mass distribution of scripted programming.
"Too Hot To Handle" centers on a competition among attractive houseguests, who compete to win a $100,000 prize for not engaging in any romantic foreplay. In "The Circle," the contestants move into the same apartment but never see each other in person, communicating only through social media.
