David Weil and the Russo brothers executive produce the American science fiction action thriller series Citadel, which they produced for Amazon Prime Video. The film features an ensemble cast that includes Stanley Tucci, Lesley Manville, Richard Madden, and Priyanka Chopra Jonas as Citadel agents Mason Kane and Nadia Sinh, respectively.
Amazon Studios head Jennifer Salke seeded the idea for Citadel in the minds of the Russo brothers and their independent studio AGBO around the middle of 2018. AGBO and Midnight Radio, a literary team that includes Josh Appelbaum and André Nemec, originally collaborated on the series. After having creative disputes with the Russo brothers, they left the program in 2021, and David Weil took over as showrunner.
With a budget of US$300 million, Citadel was the second most expensive series of all time as of 2023. Because of the significant reshoots that followed David Weil’s arrival as showrunner, this is the case.
The show has been called “an expansive and groundbreaking global event comprising a mothership series and several local language satellite series,” and “an action-packed spy series with a compelling emotional centre.” There are offshoots set in the Himalayas, India, Spain, and Mexico, among other places.
