“Citadel is a globe spanning show”: Russo Brothers at World premiere in London of first to launch series in global spy-verse

The Russo Brothers - Anthony and Joe Russo - of The Avengers fame are the executive producers of the upcoming spy series Citadel featuring Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Richard Madden in the lead. The show will be streaming on Amazon Prime Video. In a recent interview, Russo Brothers spoke about their upcoming series.

Talking about the world that they created with Citadel, Joe Russo of Russo Brothers shared, “It is a spy agency that we started decades ago and, intended to be independent of any nation, so it can't be influenced by politics. And, its mission is to fight for the greater good for humanity.” He added, “This show was five years in the making.”

Joe continued, “This is a globe spanning show and, it was our mission to bring as much scale to it as possible and hence, our journey around the world to collect footage and the imagery for the show.”

Talking about the same, Anthony also said, “The idea that Citadel is a global agency, is really at the heart of what the show is because Citadel is a global show. It's not only this first generation that is being debuted this month on Amazon called Citadel, the English language version, but we also have versions being developed in Italy, right now in Italian. We have a version being developed in India as well and these are all going to live within the same narrative universe, the same spy universe. We are very excited about this.”

Joe further added, “It's a fresh story. The audience has no idea what's coming. We can surprise them at every turn and this is the show that is filled with surprises, nothing is what you expect. It's like an onion as you peel it back, and twists and twists on you. So, don’t think you’ve got it figured out too early.”

The first season of the global series includes six episodes, with two episodes premiering on April 28 on Prime Video India, and one episode rolling out weekly through May 26.
