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.
When is the next Full Circle episode?
All episodes of Full Circle are now streaming on Max, as episodes 5 and 6 of the mystery thriller launched on the streaming service Thursday, July 27. Here are the official details for the final two episodes of the limited series:
Full Circle episode 5, "Loyalty"
"Faced with suspension, Inspector Harmony makes a last-ditch plea to Sam, while Gena and Jeff come face-to-face for the first time in years."
Full Circle episode 6, "Essequibo"
"As chaos breaks out at Mrs. Mahabir's ritual, Agent Harmony finds a definitive link between the McCuskers and Guyana."
Full Circle plot
Here is the official synopsis for Full Circle:
