The spin-off of Prime Video’s hit show Citadel features Matilda De Angelis taking on the world of the independent global spy agency.
The new season of the spy-thriller series from the Russo brothers has just released a new trailer. Citadel: Diana, another chapter of the Citadel franchise, will be streaming on Prime Video starting October 10 and Amazon MGM Studios has dropped a new look that shows the lead actress, Matilda De Angelis, get into multiple scuffles while taking on the world of the independent global spy agency. The final episode of Citadel included a post-credits teaser trailer for Citadel: Diana. Citadel: Diana was created, produced, and filmed in Italy.
The official synopsis reads,
“Diana is set in Milan in 2030, where eight years ago, spy agency Citadel was destroyed by the powerful enemy syndicate, Manticore. Since then, Diana Cavalieri (De Angelis), an undercover Citadel agent, is alone, trapped behind enemy lines as a mole in Manticore. When she finally sees a way out and the chance to disappear forever, the only way to do so is trusting the most unexpected ally, Edo Zani (Lorenzo Cervasio), the heir of Manticore Italy and son of the head of the Italian organization, Ettore Zani (Maurizio Lombardi), who’s vying for leadership against the other European families.”
Citadel: Diana was directed by Arnaldo Catinari and developed by Alessandro Fabbri, who also serves as head writer and penned the series with Ilaria Bernardini, Laura Colella, Gianluca Bernardini, and Giordana Mari. In addition to Matilda De Angelis, the cast of Citadel: Diana also includes Lorenzo Cervasio, Maurizio Lombardi, Julia Piaton, Thekla Reuten, Giordana Faggiano, Daniele Paoloni, Bernhard Schütz, and Filippo Nigro.
Right from the beginning, Citadel was set up as an “Avengers-style spy show” where each of the spies could be featured in their own projects. Assuming audiences are hungry for more, Citadel: Diana won’t be the last spinoff in the Citadel Spyverse. Production on the second season of Citadel will begin later this year, with Joe Russo serving as director. Citadel: Diana is produced by Italian-based Cattleya, who is known for projects like Gomorrah, which is part of ITV Studios, and Amazon MGM Studios. The show is executive produced by the Russo Brothers’ AGBO. Gina Gardini, whose credits include Gomorrah and ZeroZeroZero, serves here as the showrunner.
