MERLE DANDRIDGE, known for her role in The Last of Us, along with Rahul Kohli and Michael Trucco, co-stars of The Fall of the House of Usher, are the latest actors to join the cast of Prime Video's Citadel for its second season.
They will join lead actors Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Richard Madden in the series, which is created by Joe Russo and Anthony Russo.
Production on the new season is set to begin this year, with Joe Russo returning as director, according to a press release.
The first season of Citadel revolved around elite agents Mason Kane (Madden) and Nadia Sinh (Chopra Jonas), who had their memories wiped as they narrowly escaped with their lives after independent global spy agency Citadel’s fall.
The show followed Mason and Nadia building new lives under new identities, unaware of their pasts. Until one night, Mason is tracked down by his former Citadel colleague who desperately needs his help to prevent rival agency Manticore from establishing a new world order.
Besides Chopra Jonas and Madden, season two will also see Stanley Tucci and Lesley Manville reprise their roles. Jack Reynor of Midsommar fame also rounds out the cast.
From Amazon MGM Studios and the Russo Brothers' banner AGBO, Citadel is executive produced by Anthony Russo, Joe Russo, Angela Russo-Otstot, and Scott Nemes for AGBO, with David Weil serving as showrunner and executive producer.
The series serves as the flagship show that will blend with local shows Citadel: Honey Bunny (India), starring Varun Dhawan and Samantha Ruth Prabhu, and Citadel: Diana fronted by Matilda De Angelis.
While Citadel: Diana will arrive on October 10, with Citadel: Honey Bunny premiering on November 7.
According to the makers, Citadel premiered to global success in 2023, becoming Prime Video's second most-watched new original series outside the US, and fourth most-watched worldwide, after 24 days. (PTI)
