We’re not even halfway through the year, and Prime Video is already going for a grand slam of conversation-starting, widely popular original series.
After “Daisy Jones & The Six,” “Swarm,” and season 5 of “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” all made waves, “Citadel” is the next star-studded series to premiere on the streamer.
Set eight years after the fall of the Citadel spy organization, former agent Mason Kane (Richard Madden) is contacted by Citadel comms-and-tech expert Bernard Orlick (Stanley Tucci) about a growing threat from the syndicate that led to Citadel’s initial downfall.
The only problem is that in the aftermath of Citadel’s destruction, all of the agents that survived, including Kane and Nadia Sinh (Priyanka Chopra Jonas), had their memories wiped completely. “Citadel” also stars Lesley Manville as a British ambassador to the United States, Dahlia Archer.
The globe-spanning, action-packed spy series comes from Amazon Studios and AGBO, the production company founded by Joe and Anthony Russo (best known for their work in the Marvel Cinematic Universe). It’s also described as a series with an emotional core and is poised for a number of international spinoffs.
