Amazon Prime Video has a knack for creating engaging content for its subscribers and always comes out with projects that will keep viewers at the edge of their seats.

Will their past ever leave them? Or something diabolical is coming for them? We’ll get to know more about these characters and their lives when the highly anticipated series hits Prime Video.

What is ‘Citadel’ about? Plot of the sci-fi series explained
The official synopsis reads, “Eight years ago, Citadel fell. The independent global spy agency—tasked to uphold the safety and security of all people—was destroyed by operatives of Manticore, a powerful syndicate manipulating the world from the shadows. With Citadel’s fall, elite agents Mason Kane (Richard Madden) and Nadia Sinh (Priyanka Chopra Jonas) had their memories wiped as they narrowly escaped with their lives. They’ve remained hidden ever since, building new lives under new identities, unaware of their pasts.”
However, things change when Mason gets tracked down by one of his former ‘Citadel’ colleagues, Bernard Orlick (Stanley Tucci), who desperately needs his help to destroy Manticore, a powerful organization that is manipulating the entire world from the shadows. Mason accepts the job and seeks out his former partner, Nadia, to stop the Manticore. The duo embarks on a journey to save the world and start a relationship that is built on secrets.
