A premiere date has been set for the new series Citadel. Coming to Prime Video, the series is an action-spy thriller show starring Richard Madden (Game of Thrones, Eternals) and Priyanka Chopra Jonas (The White Tiger, The Matrix Resurrections) with Stanley Tucci and Lesley Manville also featured in recurring roles. On Monday, it was announced that the series will officially hit Prime Video on Friday, April 28, 2023.
The official synopsis for Citadel is as follows:
Eight years ago, Citadel fell. The independent global spy agency—tasked to uphold the safety and security of all people—was destroyed by operatives of Manticore, a powerful syndicate manipulating the world from the shadows. With Citadel’s fall, elite agents Mason Kane (Madden) and Nadia Sinh (Chopra Jonas) had their memories wiped as they narrowly escaped with their lives. They’ve remained hidden ever since, building new lives under new identities, unaware of their pasts. Until one night, when Mason is tracked down by his former Citadel colleague, Bernard Orlick (Tucci), who desperately needs his help to prevent Manticore from establishing a new world order. Mason seeks out his former partner, Nadia, and the two spies embark on a mission that takes them around the world in an effort to stop Manticore, all while contending with a relationship built on secrets, lies, and a dangerous-yet-undying love.
Citadel Unites Richard Madden and Priyanka Chopra Jonas
Along with the aforementioned cast, Citadel also stars Osy Ikhile as Carter Spence, Ashleigh Cummings as Abby Conroy, Roland Møller as Anders Silje and Davik Silje, and Caoilinn Springall as Hendrix Conroy. It is executive produced by the Russo Brothers, Mike Larocca, Angela Russo-Otsot, and Scott Nemes for AGBO alongside series showrunner David Weil. Also executive producing are Midnight Radio's Andre Nemec, Jeff Pinkner, and Scott Rosenberg, as well as Newton Thomas Sigel and PatricK Moran.
The plan is for Citadel to launch a "landmark global franchise" for Prime Video. Each Citadel series will be locally created, produced, and filmed in-region in different parts of the world. Prime Video states that series are already underway in Italy and India, respectively, starring Matilda De Angelis, Varun Dhawan, and Samantha Ruth Prabhu.
Citadel will start streaming on Prime Video on Friday, April 28, 2023. The premiere will include the first two episodes of the season with a new episode released weekly on every Friday thereafter, concluding with the season finale on May 26.
