Summer may be coming up, but Prime Video is not taking a break yet.
After a string of hits, including the currently-airing final season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, the streaming behemoth is debuting its next star-studded series, Citadel, which is poised to be another big hit for the service.
Citadel stars Richard Madden and Priyanka Chopra Jonas as spies from the Citadel organization, with Stanley Tucci as another Citadel spy and tech expert and Lesley Manville as the British ambassador to the United States.
The Joe and Anthony Russo-produced spy series is described as action-packed with a strong emotional core and a global event with the potential for international, local-language spin-offs.
Per Prime Video, the show follows Citadel agents Mason Kane (Madden) and Nadia Sinh (Chopra Jonas) as the organization fell eight years ago; they narrowly escaped with their lives but had their memories wiped. Eight years later, Bernard Orlick (Tucci) recruits Kane back into Citadel to prevent the same syndicate that took down the organization from destroying something on a much larger, global scale.
Here’s everything you need to know so you can check out Citadel as soon as it premieres:
Citadel will premiere on Prime Video this Friday, April 28, with two episodes.
While Citadel‘s release day is technically Fridays, Prime Video tends to release new episodes on Friday at midnight GMT, which means depending on your location, you’ll be able to watch the premiere episodes of Citadel as early as 8 p.m. on Thursday, April 27.
Citadel is exclusively available to Amazon Prime or Prime Video subscribers. Amazon Prime costs $14.99/month or $139/year and comes with tons of additional perks aside from Prime Video, including free two-day shipping, a free year of Grubhub+, and savings at Whole Foods.
If you just want access to Prime Video without everything else Amazon Prime comes with, a standalone subscription is available for $8.99/month.
Season 1 of Citadel will have six episodes. The first two will be released at once, with one new episode released every Friday through May 26.
Yes! Ahead of the season 1 premiere, Citadel was renewed for a second season.
This renewal is in addition to the imagined multilingual and international spin-offs Amazon expects this show to produce, including a Citadel series set in India, Mexico, and Italy. We’ll have to wait and see if there is room for a spicy Italian Tucci-Citadel crossover — Searching for Citadel, perhaps?
