While there's probably still a sizeable wait until Citadel season 2, there's no shortage of action shows for Prime Video subscribers, with two spin-off shows having launched in the last few months.
In October 2024 we saw Citadel: Diana, an Italian show set contemporaneously with Citadel, and one month later we got Citadel: Honey Bunny which serves as a prequel (in form) for one of the two main characters of the primary Citadel franchise.
For those who don't know, Citadel is a spy franchise created by the Russo brothers about a spy agency of the same name, which was destroyed by its evil rivals Manticore, and its agents have to pick up the pieces. Season 1 arrived in mid-2023 and by the time it came out, we already knew it was just the start of an expensive franchise for Amazon.
But what about Citadel season 2, so we can continue to watch Mason Kane and Nadia Sinh rebuild the titular spy group and thwart their enemies? Well, you'll have to read on to find out. And if you haven't seen the show, here's how to watch Citadel.
Citadel season 2 release window
Amazon hasn't confirmed when Citadel season 2 will return, but it could be quite a way out still after its May 2023 renewal.
That's because the 2023 writers' strike apparently caused the release date of the season to be delayed, according to Variety. According to the publication, we'll have to wait until late 2024 or even early 2025 to see what happens next between Nadia Sinh, Mason Kane and Citadel.
As 2024 drags on, it seems more and more likely that 2025 is the ticket, especially with not one but two spin-offs landing in late 2024.
Citadel season 2 trailer
As with the release date, there's no Citadel season 2 trailer so far (unless you count the entirety of season 1, which set up lots of plot elements).
To give you something to watch, though, here's the trailer for Citadel: Honey Bunny, the most recent installment in the franchise.
Citadel season 2 cast
While Prime Video hasn't confirmed who's returning for the second season of Citadel, casting news has shown us one new face.
This is Jack Reynor, famous for Midsommar, The Peripheral, The Good Mother and Sing Street. His role hasn't been confirmed but he's joining the two leads of season 1 so we're expecting him to have a major role.
In addition, several major actors have been cast in undisclosed roles. Here are the names, including what you might know them from:
- Matt Berry (Toast of London, The IT Crowd)
- Marlene Dandridge (The Last of Us)
- Rahul Kohli (Midnight Mass, The Haunting of Bly Manor)
- Jack Reynor (Midsommar)
- Michael Trucco (Battlestar Galactica)
- Gabriel Leone (Ferrari)
Beyond that, we don't know who will come back for Citadel season 2. Here's who was in the first season, and given how often characters came back from the dead, even deceased characters could show up:
- Richard Madden as Mason Kane
- Priyanka Chopra Jonas as Nadia Sinh
- Stanley Tucci as Bernard Orlick
- Lesley Manville as Dahlia Archer
- Osy Ikhile as Carter Spence
- Ashleigh Cummings as Abby Conroy
Several more important characters were shown in Citadel season 1 via flashbacks, with their current whereabouts not explored, so we could see more faces pop up too.
Citadel season 2 spin-offs
Many Citadel spin-offs are in the works, and two have been officially confirmed: Diana and Honey Bunny.
Citadel: Diana
The first spin-off is Citadel: Diana, set in the Italian Alps, and it featured the titular agent who was placed within Manticore when Citadel fell.
Years later, she is given an opportunity to escape Manticore, though it means teaming up with a dangerous new face for the evil spy agency.
Citadel: Honey Bunny
The second spin-off is Citadel: Honey Bunny, set in India in the 1990s. It came out in November 2024.
Honey Bunny is a love story between the two titular agents (Samantha Ruth Prabhu as Honey and Varun Dhawan as Bunny). We see how they meet and also follow as they become estranged and then reunite in order to protect their daughter... who is Nadia Sinh, one of the two leads of Citadel.
So what do we know about Citadel season 2?
Something that Amazon has shared about Citadel season 2 is who'll be creating it.
Series co-creator David Weil will work as the showrunner of the show, while Joe Russo, who was executive producer for the first season, will be directing every single episode.
Russo was one of the show's three co-creators, with brother Anthony being the third.
The brothers also directed The Gray Man, Cherry, Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame, Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Civil War, and many episodes of Arrested Development and Community.
