Walking in Circles is an American comedy web series created by Adam Rady and James Rodehaver. The show revolves around a group of adventurers on a quest to slay Sithalazalamazar, a dragon who had previously killed one of the adventurer's fathers. The series has been described by its creators as "The Office meets Lord of the Rings." [1] The show itself follows a mockumentary format, featuring "whip-smart dialogue" [2] with much of the humor derived from role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons.

The series premiered on YouTube on July 19, 2011. The remaining ten episodes were released on a weekly basis via YouTube. The creators are currently gathering funding for a second season.

In 2016, the series won the award for Best Fantasy Series at the Vancouver Web Series Festival. [3]
