The highly anticipated trailer for Amazon Prime Video’s new series, Citadel, dropped on Thursday evening, showcasing the sizzling chemistry between Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Richard Madden as two elite agents tasked with saving the world from a powerful global crime syndicate. The two-minute-14-second-long trailer offers a glimpse into the series, set eight years after the fall of the independent global spy agency, Citadel. The agency had been tasked with upholding safety and security around the world, but it was destroyed by operatives of a powerful syndicate called Manticore.
Following Citadel’s fall, the series’ protagonists, Mason Kane (Richard Madden) and Nadia Sinh (Priyanka Chopra Jonas), narrowly escape with their lives and have their memories wiped. They’ve remained hidden ever since, building new lives under new identities, unaware of their pasts. However, when Mason is tracked down by his former Citadel colleague Bernard Orlick (Stanley Tucci), who needs his help to prevent Manticore from establishing a new world order, he seeks out his former partner, Nadia. The duo then embarks on a mission that takes them around the world to stop Manticore, all the while contending with a relationship built on secrets, lies, and love.
The trailer is filled with high-stakes action sequences that give a closer look at the train crash that seemingly marked the end of Citadel. It also showcases the hand-to-hand combat abilities of the spies, making for a thrilling watch. However, amid all the action and chaos, the chemistry between the lead actors shines through, adding an exciting dynamic to the series.
The Sky is Pink actress shared the official trailer on her Instagram page, writing, “There’s more to it than meets the eye… So watch closely! Citadel will appear on your radar on 28th April!” The series will premiere on Amazon Prime Video on April 28, with new episodes releasing on every Friday until May 26. It will be available in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam.

With its star-studded cast and intense action sequences, Citadel promises to be a must-watch series for fans of the spy genre.
