New Delhi: As they imagine and develop a complete spy-verse that spans the entire world, 'Citadel' is the next significant step for content from Amazon Studios and Russo Brothers' AGBO. Joe and Anthony Russo are masters of their trade, whether it be breaking box office records with 'Avengers: End Game' or co-producing the Oscars winner 'Everything, Everywhere, All At Once'.

Speaking about the series, Anthony Russo said,"I think this show is capitalising on two very exciting trends that we've seen in storytelling over the past several years. We've all been developing a strong passion for narrative universes that have a sprawling expression to them, an interconnected, years-long expression, where characters change and morph and move between different iterations. And at the same time, we've seen this rise in global filmmaking and the ability of non-English language movies and shows to travel to other cultures, typically the more heavily English language-dominated cultures."

"We could have created a world where different regions were fashioning stories around a flagship narrative like this. So, I think there's something fresh and exciting about digital distribution and its reach. And I think you haven't seen anything like this before because this is new for the technology and the company behind it. And I think it points towards where storytelling can go. I think, you know, audiences are ready for something new. And for us storytellers, it's exciting to have a new format we can play in," Joe Russo added. 

Six episodes make up the debut season of 'Citadel', with two episodes releasing on Prime Video India on April 28 and one episode airing every week till May 26. The series starring Priyanka Chopra and Richard Madden will be available in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide. It will premiere in multiple languages including English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada.
