What is the story about?
Prime Video released the action-packed official trailer and announced the premiere date for the return of the high-stakes spy series, Citadel. All seven episodes will be released on Wednesday, May 6, 2026, exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.
Citadel is a heart-racing spy thriller following Mason Kane (Richard Madden), Nadia Sinh (Priyanka Chopra Jonas), and Bernard Orlick (Stanley Tucci) – elite operatives of a legendary agency destroyed by Manticore, a ruthless network backed by the world’s most powerful families. When a terrifying new threat emerges, the three are pulled back into action. Now they must recruit an unlikely team of skilled new operatives and launch a globe-spanning mission to stop a conspiracy that could reshape humanity. With blockbuster action, shocking betrayals, and an expanded ensemble of mysterious agents, the stakes have never been higher – and anyone could be friend or foe.
Returning cast members this season include Lesley Manville and Ashleigh Cummings, alongside an expanded ensemble cast featuring Jack Reynor as Hutch, Matt Berry as Franke Sharpe, and Lina El Arabi as Celine. Other notable additions include Merle Dandridge, Gabriel Leone, and Rayna Vallandingham.
With Citadel, Priyanka Chopra proves she is as good as it takes to be a top-rate spy hero in Hollywood. She kicks butt as Ethan Hunt, shoots from the hip as Jason Bourne, and socks the living daylights out of the baddies as James Bond 007.
Heck, cast her as 007 for all she’s worth — if they’re still confused over what happens to that franchise post Daniel Craig, given her Citadel form she might just nail it. Unfortunately for Chopra, she has to continue trying to prove her stakes at Hollywood stardom in cliché-ridden bags of excesses that give her little original space to excel.
What happened in first season
The show opens with a breathtaking action sequence on a train somewhere in the Italian Alps that would have you feel executive co-producers Anthony and Joe Russo spent too much time binging on random train stunts from
007 or M:I flicks along with series creators Josh Appelbaum, Bryan Oh and David Weil. The sequence leaves you stunned despite its cliches for the sheer vim that drives it, and it leaves Mason and Nadia presumed dead.
