Citadel: Last News

While the original “Citadel” series seemed a bit like a bust, with its middling viewership and critical reviews, Prime Video is still pushing forward with its original plan of expanding the franchise worldwide. We saw that recently with the release of “Citadel: Diana,” an Italian take on the spy franchise.

When Prime Video’s “Citadel” was announced, it was just the first series in what was expected to become a massive global franchise. The idea was to make “Citadel” spinoff series around the world.

Joe Russo almost broke Twitter when he said that technology is moving with such momentum that we should be expect AI-generated films and TV shows in the very near future. Not only was kind of a questionable thing to say with a potential writer’s strike looming on the horizon, but, well, recent Russo productions like “The Gray Man” haven’t exactly given anyone hope for the future of screenwriting.

Stanley Tucci spoke with ET ahead of the premiere of his new Prime Video series, Citadel, where he revealed which one of his iconic roles he would never play again.«I would not play George Harvey again in, which was horrible,» Tucci shared with ET's Ash Crossan. «It's a wonderful movie, but it was a tough experience. Simply because of the role.»In the film, based on 2002 book ofthe same name by Alice Sebold, Tucci plays sadistic serial killer known for raping and murdering at least seven girls. He eventually gets killed by falling off a steep hill after trying to lure another girl into his car.Tucci admittedly tried to get out of the role before understanding director Peter Jackson's motivation for casting him in the sinister part.«I asked Peter Jackson why he cast me in that role.

April is an unrelenting month of releases, with television seemingly adding on new series or returns every other day. While tough to keep track of it all, there’s still a list of those we think are best prioritized.

Another year, another super-expensive TV series to premiere on Prime Video. And while the $250 million budget for “Citadel” isn’t as costly as “The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power,” it indicates that Amazon wants its new spy thriller to be another juggernaut for its streamer.
