The Russo Brothers’ are known for their world-building powers, but the Citadel spy universe they’re designing for Amazon MGM Studios marks a new approach altogether. Whereas the Marvel Cinematic Universe was carefully constructed over multiple movies and many years, Citadel has sped up the whole process for a content-hungry streaming world.
Citadel had first emerged as an idea back in 2018/2019, with development beginning in earnest after Amazon’s Jennifer Salke had approached the Russos about a creating an international spyverse. While the MCU and DC universes have decades of material to work from, Citadel would start from scratch.
There was an 18 month gap after the launch of the first Citadel series, starring Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Richard Madden, but things heat up this month. Citadel: Diana launched yesterday out of Italy, and will quickly be followed by India’s Citadel: Honey Bunny next month. Another season of the big...

Citadel: Diana is here. It’s hard to fathom how Prime Video’s massive, bloated disappointment Citadel inspired enough confidence to warrant several spinoffs in the coming months. The original series dropped with much buzz and fanfare, mainly due to the “from the Russo Brothers” stamp of approval and the presence of two attractive megastars.
However, as much as you might want to get lost in the eye candy of Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Richard Madden (and join Stanley Tucci in the “bald brotherhood”), everything about Citadel was overblown, overwrought, and overdone—yet undercooked, like that gorgeous holiday goose that never thaws.
Citadel: Diana, however, is different. Prime Video’s attempt to expand its reach into other markets—à la Netflix—benefits from scaling down the cast, giving characters more engaging arcs, and using special effects in small, effective doses. It also helps to have a breakout star like Matilda De Angelis.

Prepare for more double crossing, high-stakes fights and nervous breakdowns because Amazon Prime Video has dropped the first trailer for “Citadel: Diana,” the latest thriller set in the “Citadel” universe. All six episodes of the series will premiere on the streamer globally on Oct. 10.
“I’m not going to be done with this until I know why they died. I’m not going to stop,” Diana Cavalieri (Matilda De Angelis) says in the first moments of the trailer.

They are now widening their scope and will start shepherding film and TV works by other talents and also venturing into different genres.

Amazon Prime Video is expanding its big, global spy franchise "Citadel" with the conclusion of the show's first season. Not only is the main series — which hails from "Avengers: Endgame" directors Joe and Anthony Russo — getting a second season, but the first spin-off has officially been revealed in the form of "Citadel: Diana." What's more, the spin-off has already been filmed and is due to arrive next year.
While we won't get into spoilers here, those who watched the "Citadel" season 1 finale on Prime Video were treated to a post-credits teaser that teed up the ball for the new show, offering a look at the next chapter in the company's so-called "Spyverse." A universe that they spent an absolutely absurd amount of money on, it should be noted. Though it's also supposedly quite popular, according to the company's own calculations.

Russo discussed Agbo’s upcoming slate at the second-annual Sands International Film Festival of St Andrews.
With the big-budget Amazon franchise Citadel poised to launch on Amazon Prime on April 28, Agbo producer Joe Russo says the model of an English-language ‘mothership’ expanding into local content could have limitless possibilities.
“Because we all consume so much content, and we all basically have a PhD in storytelling, it’s become predictive. I think it’s important to explore new ways to tell stories. It’s also important to create a global community of storytellers, where we can share stories with each other.
