Before their grand return to Marvel Studios, the Russo Brothers had been trying to leave a rather large footprint in the streaming world with multiple films at Netflix and collaborating with Prime Video on a string of spy-centric series starting with “Citadel.”
The mothership series is finally back with Season 2, after some delay; the first season debuted back in 2023, and Joe Russo (“Agent Carter”) is behind the camera for the next run of episodes with a cast that features Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Richard Madden, Stanley Tucci, Lesley Manville, Ashleigh Cummings, Jack Reynor as Hutch, Matt Berry as Franke Sharpe, Lina El Arabi as Celine, Merle Dandridge, Gabriel Leone, and Rayna Vallandingham.
The official synopsis for the season 2 reads: “Citadel” is a heart-racing spy thriller following Mason Kane (Madden), Nadia Sinh (Chopra Jonas), and Bernard Orlick (Tucci) – elite operatives of a legendary agency destroyed by Manticore, a ruthless network backed by the world’s most powerful families. When a terrifying new threat emerges, the three are pulled back into action. Now, they must recruit an unlikely team of skilled new operatives and launch a globe-spanning mission to stop a conspiracy that could reshape humanity. With blockbuster action, shocking betrayals, and an expanded ensemble of mysterious agents, the stakes have never been higher – and anyone could be friend or foe."
Season 1 featured multiple episodes helmed by well-respected cinematographer Newton Thomas Sigel, who is lensing “Avengers: Doomsday” for the Russos after serving as director of photography on Bryan Singer’s four “X-Men” movies.
Showrunner David Weil is also serving as director alongside Greg Yaitanes and Russo.
