Juanra Bonet returns to television with a new project. When audiences are ready for a fresh challenge, he won’t need a vacation break—the show is moving forward. The Spanish adaptation of a popular format has secured an official name: Antena 3 will air the program under the title Circle of Celebrities. This bold choice marks a notable moment for the network’s prime-time slate and signals a renewed focus on bold, audience-driven formats.
Casting for Circle of Celebrities is currently open. Interested participants can apply through the network’s official channels, with details available on the station’s website. The process has been designed to be straightforward, inviting potential contestants to step forward and join a format that blends trivia with celebrity involvement and lively competition.
Warner Bros. ITPV stands as the production partner for this new adaptation, aligning with the Atresmedia group to deliver a high-energy game show during prime time on the main channel. The show’s premise brings several contestants into a fast-paced quiz arena, where a large rotating wheel determines the category of questions and the path to victory. In this format, anonymous contestants are supported by celebrity guest appearances, adding extra flair and commentary to the competition.
The original concept premiered on BBC One in November 2020 and quickly resonated with viewers, leading to successful adaptations across Europe. Countries including Sweden, the Netherlands, Finland, and Germany have launched their own versions. The next wave of adaptations includes Spain and the United States, with Denmark also exploring a local version in due course.
As the adaptation progresses, anticipation builds for how Circle of Celebrities will translate the familiar wheel-piece mechanics, host charisma, and crowd energy to a Spanish-speaking audience while maintaining its universal appeal. Observers note how the format’s blend of rapid-fire questions, chance-driven twists, and celebrity involvement creates a dynamic viewing experience that invites family and friends to play along at home. The collaboration between Warner Bros. ITPV and Atresmedia suggests a carefully crafted production that respects the source material while infusing it with regional humor, pacing, and production values tailored to the Spanish market. This cross-border approach mirrors a broader trend in game-show adaptations, where successful formats are localized to capture cultural nuances and viewer expectations while preserving the core suspense and entertainment that fans love.
