The Russo Brothers executive produce a global series with international spinoffs for Amazon Studios
Citadel is an American spy action-drama series produced by Amazon Studios and AGBO. The series is created by David Weil with the Russo Brothers on board as executive producers. It is envisioned as a sprawling production with multiple spinoffs series taking place in local environments in Italy, India, and Mexico. Although the main American cast do not appear in all the international series, the stories overlap and tie together to create an ambitious production that spans the globe.
The series stars Priyanka Chopra as Nadia Sihn and Richard Madden (Game of Thrones) as Mason Kane, two former Citadel secret agents who had their memories wiped when their agency went down. The series also stars Hollywood stalwart Stanley Tucci as Bernard Orlick, a former Citadel member. Lesley Manville plays Dahlia Archer, alongside Osy Ikhile as Carter Spence, Ashleigh Cummings as Abby Conroy, Roland Møller as Anders and Davik Silje, and Caoilinn Springall as Hendrix Conroy.
