The Circus has plans to do extra episodes in case President Trump doesn't accept the election results

Deadline

“If Trump decides to not accept the election result on Election Night, which I think is a high probability if he’s lost, we’re going to keep making episodes through November if there’s an overtime here,” says co-host John Heilemann. He adds that The Circus, which he calls "the ultimate field show," will look different when it returns for the second half of Season 5 on Aug. 16 due to coronavirus pandemic. “The first thing is that we all assume that we’re not going to be overshooting like that because travel is going to be challenging, so we’re going to have to make decisions ahead of a given week,” he says.
