“Citadel” spinoffs “Honey Bunny” and “Diana” will not be moving forward as individual series at Prime Video.
Instead, their storylines will be woven into the second season of the mothership series “Citadel,” which is set to premiere next year.
The India-set “Honey Bunny” and Italian series “Diana,” both executive produced by the Russo Brothers, followed different sects of the powerful Citadel spy agency for which the show is named.
“While these successful and widely enjoyed international chapters will not continue as individual series, Season 2 of ‘Citadel’ will be our most exhilarating yet,” Amazon MGM Studios head of television Vernon Sanders said in a statement. “With high-stakes storytelling, new additions to our amazing cast and bold, cinematic ambition, the new season will deepen the emotional journeys of Nadia, Mason and Orlick against the relentless force that is Manticore. We’re excited to share what’s next when ‘Citadel’ Season 2 premieres globally in Q2 of 2026.”
The logline for “Citadel” Season 2 reads: “One month after the events of the first season, we find our Citadel spies underground, as they’re being hunted by Manticore agents around the world. They’re pulled out of hiding to join forces with a new team of unconventional spies when Manticore’s Brazilian billionaire Paulo Braga threatens to unleash a cataclysmic piece of technology, built by Citadel’s own Bernard Orlick, into the world.”
“Citadel” stars Richard Madden, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Stanley Tucci, and Lesley Manville among its main cast.
The cancellations come despite reported success for both of the spinoffs, with “Honey Bunny” becoming Prime Video’s most-watched series worldwide during its first weekend of release in November and “Diana” debuting as the streamer’s best-launching Italian original in October.
They also follow the departure of Amazon MGM Studios head Jennifer Salke, who shepherded the idea for the series and its global expansion. “Citadel” not becoming the pop culture phenomenon Amazon expected could have contributed to her exit.
