Trailer for the spy thriller action series by the Russo brothers CITADEL

Prime Video has released the first trailer for Amazon Studios’ upcoming spy action thriller series Citadelwhich comes from the executive producers Joe AND Anthony Russo. The film is the protagonist Richard Maden (Eternals) AND Priyanka Chopra Jonas (Quantum) as two secret agents who have had their minds wiped and find themselves on a mission around the world to stop the rise of a dark new world order.

It looks like a great series with high quality production value. Here is the synopsis:

Eight years ago, the Citadel fell. The independent global spy agency charged with upholding the safety and security of all people has been destroyed by the agents of Manticore, a powerful syndicate that manipulates the world from the shadows. With the fall of Citadel, elite operatives Mason Kane (Madden) and Nadia Sinh (Chopra Jonas) had their memories erased as they narrowly escaped with their lives. They have remained in hiding ever since, building new lives under new identities, unaware of their past.

Until one night when Mason is tracked down by his former Citadel colleague, Bernard Orlick (The man inside‘S Stanley Tucci), who desperately needs his help to stop the Manticore from establishing a new world order. Mason searches for his former partner, Nadia, and the two spies embark on a mission that will take them across the globe in an effort to stop Manticore, all while battling a relationship built on secrets, lies, and a dangerous but everlasting love. .

The series is also starring Lesley Manville (Ghost Thread, The Crown) as Dahlia Archer, the British Ambassador to the United States, whose loyalty may lie elsewhere. Highly cunning and ambitious, Archer is both a valuable asset and a formidable foe.

Citadel is the first in what Amazon calls “the beginning of an original franchise-slash-universe with interconnected stories spanning the globe. Everything is fine Citadel the series is created, produced and filmed locally in the region to form a distinct global franchise, with spin-off series already underway in Italy and India with international stars Matilda De Angelis (The ruin), Varun Dhawan (Bwaal), AND Samantha Ruth Prabhu (The family man).”

The project became one of the most expensive shows ever produced with a budget of over $200 million. This has been a passionate project for the head of Amazon Studios Jennifer Salkethat he was looking for a big project to make a splash, and this is a “avengersspy show style, with spies from key countries teaming up for the final mission. The plan also included spinoffs that would see the spy characters “have their own adventures on their own turf. India, Italy and Mexico”.

The six-episode first season of Citadel will release its first two episodes on April 28 on Amazon Prime Video, with subsequent episodes releasing weekly on Fridays through May 26. Watch the trailer and tell us what you think!
