What is a citadel?
Citadel, an international and independent spy agency, collapses one day at the hands of Manticore, a powerful syndicate pulling the strings in the shadows. The two agents, Mason and Nadia, manage to escape before their memories are erased for their safety.
Eight years later, they were found by a former colleague, Bernard. He desperately needs them to stop the actions of the Manticore, stronger than ever.
Before going on a mission with Citadel agents, why not take a look at their secret profiles?
Richard Madden as Mason Kane
The brilliant Mason Kane has nothing to envy to James Bond, the most famous of all secret agents. As effective in infiltration missions as he is in combat, Mason has a reputation as the best agent in the Citadel. After the Manticore destroys the agency, his memory is erased and he must learn to live without his past, along with his wife Abby and daughter Hendricks. But Bernard’s return to her life signals a new beginning: the Citadel needs its best agent to be reborn.
After Game Of Thrones, The Eternals and Bodyguard, Richard Madden continues to play his role to perfection: a seductive gentleman in the guise of an angel, he handles the language of fists and guns as well as diplomacy.
Priyanka Chopra Jonas as Nadia Singh
Mason’s official partner, Nadia, struggles to gain his trust at first. Between mistrust and attraction, the two accomplices must tame each other before finally parting ways to destroy the Citadel. When Bernard convinces Mason to return to work, he realizes that he is the only one who can find Nadia and bring her back to him.
Exposed to mainstream Bollywood performances, Priyanka Chopra Jones has since gone on to star in The Jungle Book, Baywatch and Matrix Resurrections. As Nadia, she fits right into the long tradition of James Bond girls… as badass secret agents, because she’s just as evil as Mason!
Stanley Tucci is Bernard Ollick
Memorable in “The Devil Wears Prada” or “The Hunger Games Saga”, the legendary Stanley Tucci returns to the series after “Inside the Man”.
He portrays the sly and clever Bernard, a veritable Swiss Army Knife of the Citadel. After this one goes down, he rebuilds it and manages to orchestrate Mason and Nadia’s big comeback.
Leslie Manville as Dahlia Archer
England’s ambassador to America, Dahlia Archer, uses words like a real weapon. Cunning and determined, this influential politician is actually a key broker in the Manticore Syndicate. The return of Mason and Nadia will be synonymous with great danger for him.
Oscar and Golden Globe nominee Leslie Manville (Phantom Thread, The Crown) brilliantly portrays this mysterious and authoritarian character.
Roland Moller is Anders (and David) Seelie
The Silje twins, Dahlia’s craftsmen, are as brutal as they are efficient in their missions. Recurring adversaries of the Citadel agents, they are both played by the same actor, Roland Moller (Forgotten).
The Citadel is available from April 28 exclusively on Prime Video.
