Globally Aimed 'Citadel' Spy Series Sports A Stellar Cast

We here at Telly Visions concentrate on British TV series and movies (and Canadian/Australian/New Zeland based productions, sometimes with a side of German or French fare). However, the major streaming services we cover are all American-based, and most of what they produce is American-focused. Netflix has been trying to change that, but on the small end of the scale, bringing in waves of mid-tier shows from other countries like India, South Korea, Brazil, Mexico, and the like. But until now, no one has attempted to make a truly global series in scale and attitude. Amazon Studios seeks to change that with what it bills as its most ambitious project ever, Citadel.

Helmed by Joe and Anthony Russo, best known as the team that made some of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's most successful crossover films, the concept behind Citadel is a single mothership show designed for global appeal. It will then beget spinoff shows, each set in and aimed at audiences in those markets Netflix is also targeting (Mexico, India, etc.). With both the Indian and American markets in mind, the main show stars Richard Madden (Game of Thrones) and Priyanka Chopra Jonas (Krrish) as a pair of spies who, until recently, both worked as elite spies for the titular Citadel, an organization with no allegiance or country.
