Prime Video announced today the global premiere date for Citadel: Diana, a new Italian spy series set within the “Citadel” universe. Check out the teaser.
Italian action-espionage series Citadel: Diana is the second title in the “Citadel” universe.
The first is the US series Citadel. In Season 1 (Season 2 goes into production this year), a new, nefarious spy syndicate launched an attack on Citadel, an independent, top-secret, global spy organization created to protect all people across the world. This forced Citadel to use Backstop technology to wipe the memories of its elite agents, including Mason Kane (Richard Madden, Game of Thrones) and Nadia Sinh (Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Quantico). Eight years later, the agents are reactivated to face the threat of a powerful new world order, under the now dominant Manticore.
Fast forward to Milan, 2030, for Citadel: Diana. Eight years ago, Citadel was destroyed by the powerful enemy syndicate, Manticore. Since then, Diana Cavalieri (Matilda De Angelis, The Law According to Lidia Poët, The Undoing), an undercover Citadel agent, has been alone, trapped behind enemy lines as a mole in Manticore. When she finally sees a way out and the chance to disappear forever, the only way to do so is trusting her most unexpected ally, Edo Zani (Lorenzo Cervasio, Paradise), the heir of Manticore Italy and son of the head of the Italian organization, Ettore Zani (Maurizio Lombardi, Monterossi), who’s vying for leadership against the other European families.
Citadel: Diana, an Amazon Original Series, premieres globally as a six-episode binge on Thursday, October 10, exclusively on Prime Video.
The international cast also includes Julia Piaton (Family Business), Thekla Reuten (Warrior Nun), Giordana Faggiano (Murders at Barlume), Daniele Paoloni (Marilyn’s Eyes), Bernhard Schütz (Barbarians), and Filippo Nigro (Suburra: Blood on Rome).
Citadel: Diana is directed by Arnaldo Catinari (Suburra: Blood on Rome) and developed by head writer Alessandro Fabbri (1992, 1993, 1994), who wrote the series with Ilaria Bernardini, Gianluca Bernardini, Laura Colella, and Giordana Mari.
The series is produced by Amazon MGM Studios with Cattleya (ZeroZeroZero), part of ITV Studios, and showrunner and executive producer Gina Gardini (Gomorrah), with the support of Italian Ministry of Culture – Directorate General for Cinema and Audiovisual. Riccardo Tozzi, Marco Chimenz, Giovanni Stabilini, and Emanuele Savoini also serve as executive producers. Anthony Russo, Joe Russo, Angela Russo-Otstot, and Scott Nemes from AGBO, alongside David Weil (Hunters), executive produce Citadel: Diana and all series within the “Citadel” universe. Midnight Radio also executive produce.
Citadel, Citadel: Diana, and subsequent “Citadel” action-espionage series traverse the globe, evolving the story of spy agency Citadel and its powerful enemy syndicate, Manticore. Each series stars top local talent and is created, produced, and filmed in the region. Up next is the series from India: Citadel: Honey Bunny, starring Varun Dhawan (Munjya) and Samantha Ruth Prabhu (The Family Man).
