Citadel Episode Release Schedule

James Bond, who? Richard Madden and Priyanka Chopra star as sexy spies in Amazon Prime Video's latest series, Citadel, led by Avengers: Endgame's Joe and Anthony Russo. Madden plays a Jason Bourne-esque character named Mason Kane, and Chopra plays his partner, Nadia Sinh. They work together as the last two agents for a secret intelligence network known as Citadel, along with a character named Bernard (Stanley Tucci).

The first two episodes—full of action and mystery—recently premiered to mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike. But that hasn't stopped Amazon from pumping money into the new franchise-starter. With over a $200 million budget, per The Hollywood Reporter, Citadel is one of the most expensive television series ever produced. It falls just behind The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (which is also made by Amazon). The spy thriller has also already been renewed for a second season, alongside planned spinoffs in Italy, India, and Mexico.

“We’ve had the good fortune of being able to tell stories that travel around the globe, and we’ve seen the effect that those can have on audiences,” executive producer Anthony Russo told The New York Times. "But those were Hollywood-centric narratives that traveled. The idea that we could create a story that not only traveled around the world but was created around the world seemed like a very exciting movement forward."

There are four episodes left in the limited-series to kick this wild ride off, releasing weekly throughout May 2023. The first two episodes aired back on April 28, with subsequent episodes debuting over the next four Fridays from May 5 to May 26. But don't fear—there's much, much more Citadel coming your way.
