Fans of the Citadel franchise have a reason to celebrate. The wait for the next season is nearly over, as Prime Video has officially announced the return of its global franchise. On Tuesday, the platform released an action-packed trailer for the second season, confirming that the spy series starring Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Richard Madden will premiere on May 6.
The series continues the story of elite operatives Mason Kane, played by Richard Madden, and Nadia Sinh, played by Priyanka Chopra Jonas. Alongside them is Bernard Orlick, played by Stanley Tucci. All three are former members of Citadel, a legendary independent spy agency that was destroyed by Manticore, a ruthless and secretive network backed by the world’s most powerful families.
According to a press note about the new season’s plot, the stakes have never been higher. It read, “When a terrifying new threat emerges, “the three are pulled back into action. Now they must recruit an unlikely team of skilled new operatives and launch a globe-spanning mission to stop a conspiracy that could reshape humanity.”
The upcoming season will see many familiar faces returning to the screen. Apart from the lead trio, Lesley Manville and Ashleigh Cummings are set to reprise their roles. The makers have also expanded its ensemble cast for the second season. Joining the mission are Jack Reynor as Hutch, Matt Berry as Franke Sharpe, and Lina El Arabi as Celine. Other notable additions to the cast include Merle Dandridge, Gabriel Leone, and Rayna Vallandingham.
Citadel is produced by Amazon MGM Studios and the Russo Brothers’ AGBO. The executive production team remains a powerhouse, featuring Anthony Russo, Angela Russo-Otstot, and Scott Nemes for AGBO. David Weil returns to serve as the showrunner, director, and executive producer. Joe Russo and Greg Yaitanes are also on board as directors and executive producers for the new season.
