Citadel: Diana premieres in Italy on Prime Video

Amazon is set to launch a new series titled 'Citadel: Diana' on Prime Video, premiering on October 10. This Italian spy thriller is part of the broader Citadel franchise, which includes an American series featuring Richard Madden and Priyanka Chopra. The show is set in Milan in 2030 and follows the character Diana Cavalieri, portrayed by Matilda De Angelis, who is an agent of the global spy agency Citadel. The agency was dismantled eight years prior by the enemy syndicate Manticore. The plot centers around Diana, who finds herself trapped behind enemy lines as a mole within Manticore. As she seeks a way to escape and disappear, she must rely on an unexpected ally, Edo Zani, the heir to Manticore Italy. This alliance is fraught with tension, as Edo is the son of the head of the Italian organization, who is competing for leadership against other European families. The series features a talented cast, including Julia Piaton, Thekla Reuten, and Filippo Nigro, and is directed by Arnaldo Catinari. The writing team includes Alessandro Fabbri, Ilaria Bernardini, Gianluca Bernardini, Laura Colella, and Giordana Mari, who have crafted a narrative that promises to blend action and intrigue. With a total of six episodes, 'Citadel: Diana' aims to expand the Citadel universe, offering viewers a fresh perspective on espionage and betrayal in a contemporary Italian setting. The anticipation surrounding the series reflects the growing interest in international adaptations of popular franchises.
