The Russian brothers will suffer another shot while Amazon takes the spin -Off of Citadel and delays season 2

It is not exactly the global espionage empire The Russian brothers They were imagining.

Amazon officially demolished two of his Citadel Spin -off included Citadella: Honey Bunny (India) e Cittadella: Diana (Italy), effectively pulling the plug on its ambitious plan to build a temptular international franchise under a high concept banner.

As confirmed by Deadline, none of the spin -Offs will go on with a second season and the largest “Cittadel Universe” who had once been advertised as the next great thing … well, quietly deflated.

Instead, Amazon plans to combine the remains of those spins -offs in the main series. Vernon SandersHead of Television of the Amazon MGM Studios, took a positive round on the pivot:

“Having successfully crossed India and Italy, the plots of both Citadella: Honey Bunny AND Cittadella: Diana will be woven in the next second season of the mother’s ship series Citadel.

“While these successful and widely appreciated international chapters will not continue as individual series, season 2 of Citadel It will be our most exciting. “

Sanders also made fun of a full return of action for the basic show:

“With the narration at the top, new additions to our extraordinary cast and bold and cinematographic ambition, the new season will deepen the emotional trips of Nadia, Mason and Orlick against the relentless strength that is mandatement. We are excited to share what will be next Citadel Season 2 has a preview globally in the second quarter of 2026. “

This is a remarkable delay. Season 2 was initially set for the end of 2025, but now she has returned to the middle of 2026. It is another bornecolo on the road for a show that has already taken its right dose of punches.

The first season of Citadel It has been afflicted by production problems, more showrunners, competing changes, expensive filming and was inflated in a bet of $ 200 million that has never paid enough. The assessments were decent. The reviews were warm, but Buzz has not remained.

And now, the spin-off Amazon hoped that they would anchor an interconnected spyverse are reduced to the narrative notes in the main show.

Here is the official logline for season 2:

“Season 2 is set a month after the events of the first season. In it we find ours Citadel Spies underground, while they are hunted by manticare agents all over the world.

“They are pulled out of hiding to join forces with a new team of non -conventional spies when the Brazilian billionaire of Manicore Paulo Braga threatens to unleash a piece of cataclysmic technology, built by the Bernard Orlick of Citadel, in the world.”

While the initial vision of this franchise was ambitious, but it cannot be denied that this follows another blow for the Russian brothers and their agbo production company.

After Gray man AND Cherry have been accumulated critically and NetflixThe electrical status It was a shit movie, Citadel It has become a case of study on how big budgets and big names do not always translate success.

There is still talk of a potential Citadel Series set in Mexico along the road, but for now the international expansion is on ice.
