LOS ANGELES, CALIFRONIA: 'Citadel' is a  spy action thriller TV series developed by David Weil for Amazon Prime Video, with the Russo brothers serving as executive producers.

The mini-series follows the story of an independent intelligence agency that was destroyed by a powerful syndicate known as Manticore, along with a traitorous agent, eight years prior to the start of the series. Two former agents, including Mason Kane (played by Richard Madden), had their memories wiped and were living under new identities until they were called upon to stop Manticore from gaining control of the world. In order to succeed, they must also reactivate another former Citadel operative, Nadia Sinh (played by Priyanka Chopra). The series promises to offer a unique blend of action, emotions and intrigue.
