Citadel on Prime Video is a big-budget, action-packed spy drama created by Joe and Anthony Russo, the brothers behind Marvel hits such as Avengers: Endgame and Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Citadel will be groundbreaking when it arrives later in 2023 in that it will have a main series and then several local language satellite spin-offs, including series set in India, Mexico and Italy. Amazon have said, "All of the local series are meant to enhance the entire entertainment experience and will be available for the viewer to deep dive into an imagined layered world.”
Starring Bodyguard’s Richard Madden, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, White Lotus star Leo Woodall and Stanley Tucci, the plot of the main show is being kept tightly under wraps but it will centre on the intelligence agency Citadel and the hunt for a man determined to bring it down. And Richard Madden plays a spy with problems of his own...
"There are multiple characters and multiple storylines that all intertwine, and I personally play a character who is an amnesiac—eight years of his life, he’s basically become a new person,” Richard explains. “There's a journey of discovering who he was before the accident happened, and he no longer remembers anything. It's a clash between the life that he's been living for eight years, and the life that he used to live. You get to delve into exploring the psyche of dealing with the consequences of things that you're not aware that you've done."
