About Citadel and its spin-off
In an interview with Variety, Amazon Studios head Jennifer Salke talked about Priyanka Chopra and Richard Madden-starrer Citadel, and that it will have spin-off series set in India, Mexico and Italy.
She said, “Local language and regional series are very important to us. We’re investing hugely in Citadel from the Russo Brothers. It’s a big global [spy thriller]. I’ve seen the first three episodes. The whole idea behind that show is global storytelling with standalone local series that feed into the storylines and fill in details about specific characters.
