A new age of espionage

Madden and Chopra Jonas play agents of 'Citadel,' a spy agency with loyalty to no nation. Eight years before the series begins, they were double-crossed by another Citadel agent, and that's where the drama begins. Take a look at the trailer below to see Madden and Chopra Jonas in action. The series also stars Stanley Tucci, Lesley Manville, Osy Ikhile, Ashleigh Cummings, and Roland Moller.

Citadel‘s official description: “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 (Madden) and Nadia Sinh (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. One night, when Mason is tracked down by his former Citadel colleague, Bernard Orlick (Stanley Tucci), who desperately needs his help to prevent Manticore from establishing a new world order. Mason seeks out his former partner, Nadia, and the two spies embark on a mission that takes them around the world in an effort to stop Manticore, all while contending with a relationship built on secrets, lies, and a dangerous-yet-undying love.”

Nonetheless, after Prime dropped the trailer online fans went berserk. A fan said, "So excited. This is going to be an adventure. Priyanka, you are killing it," while another added, "Definitely watching this!" A fan shared, "This is dope bruh Russo brothers don't miss." A fan wrote, "Finally it’s here I’ve been waiting for this for ages," while another commented, "Eurythmics sweet dreams theme song.. you have my attention." A fan noted, "It's the 2nd most expensive show ever made after The Lord of the Rings. This is gonna be epic," while another tweeted, "Can't wait to stream it!!"

Seems like fans are psyched and are desperately waiting for the series to release. Anyhow, the six-episode series is scheduled to premiere on April 28, 2023, with its first two episodes.
