Steven Soderbergh has not stopped since his brief retirement from directing a few years back, as the Oscar and Emmy-winner has a brand new limited series for viewers, Full Circle. This after he released Magic Mike's Last Dance earlier in 2023.
Full Circle is set to be Soderbergh's first TV series since 2018's Mosaic, with the new series also being of the limited variety (six episodes in all). Both Mosaic and Full Circle were written by Ed Solomon. Soderbergh's TV experience also includes The Knick, directed the TV movie Behind the Candelabra and the 2003 improvised political satire K Street.
A Soderbergh project is always buzz-worthy, so here is everything you need to know about Full Circle.
Full Circle release date
Full Circle is set to premiere on Thursday, July 13, exclusively on Max. The streaming service is going to release two episodes on July 13 and the two subsequent weeks, meaning all six episodes of the limited series are going to be available to stream as of July 27.
The limited series is one of Max's marquee originals of the summer TV schedule.
Full Circle plot
Here is the official synopsis for Full Circle:
