The Priyanka Chopra and Richard Madden-led spy series ‘Citadel’ has been officially renewed for a second season, according to Prime Video.

Joe Russo, who executive produced the first season of the show with his brother Anthony, will direct all of the episodes in the second season.

The show’s creator, David Weil, will return.

Prime Video said in a statement that ‘Citadel’ had ‘breakout success’ in countries around the world, including India, Italy, Brazil, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

Since its premiere on April 28, the show has become Prime Video’s second most-watched new original series outside of the United States, and the fourth most-watched globally, PTI reported from Mumbai.

Jennifer Salke, president of Amazon and MGM Studios, stated that ‘Citadel’ has become a “global phenomenon.”

“Our goal has always been to develop a new franchise based on original IP that will expand Prime Video’s international audience.” This show has attracted an unusually large number of new international customers to Prime Video.

“Its massive worldwide debut audience is a testament to Joe and Anthony Russo’s remarkable vision, the incredible talents of Richard Madden, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Lesley Manville, and Stanley Tucci, as well as the tireless work of the creative teams, cast, and crew,” she said.

Joe and Anthony Russo, known for directing Marvel blockbusters ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ and ‘Avengers: Endgame’, said they are excited to continue the association between their banner AGBO and Prime Video with ‘Citadel’.

“AGBO is thrilled to embark on this next phase of the spyverse with Jen, Vernon, and the entire team at Amazon. The innovative storytelling of Citadel has paved the way for an incredible, worldwide collaboration with creatives in front of and behind the camera,” they said.

‘Citadel’ follows elite agents Mason Kane (Madden) and Nadia Sinh (Chopra Jonas) as they narrowly escape with their lives after the fall of independent global spy agency Citadel.

Mason and Nadia are building new lives under new identities, unaware of their pasts, in the show. Until one night, Mason is pursued by a former Citadel colleague who urgently needs his assistance to prevent rival agency Manticore from establishing a new world order.

It also features pivotal performances by Stanley Tucci and Lesley Manville.

‘Citadel’ will act as the flagship show that will blend with local shows already under production in India and Italy, starring Varun Dhawan-Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Matilda De Angelis, respectively.

‘Farzi’ creators Raj & DK are on board as directors and showrunners for the Indian installment.
