REALITY TV show The Circle are "filming a new series" at its iconic block of flats in Salford, Manchester, according to eagle-eyed fans.
Residents spotted the iconic glowing circle being erected at the modern flat complex earlier this week amid rumours of a Channel 4 or Netflix return.
It was announced in May earlier this year that Channel 4 bosses had decided to axe the popular TV show after three long-running successful series.
The channel had revealed they would not be renewing The Circle for a fouth series – however fans think the show might be making a comeback.
"They [production staff] were rigging up #TheCircle before I left Salford for home.
"Definitely about to start filming for a new season.

"Which version? Not too sure, but I'd like to think it may not be US since their next Season had already been filmed."
An insider told The Entertainment Gazette that they were producing The Circle US, but were not able to tell us who the production was for.
One fan said: "Hoping and praying Netflix have snatched up the UK Circle and are keeping lowkey about it, and S3 is being filmed?
"But maybe I'm just trying to think that for my own sake."
