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. While the American series didn’t necessarily become a massive hit, it looks like Prime Video is still moving forward with the spinoffs, including the Italian series, “Citadel: Diana.”

As seen in the teaser, “Citadel: Diana” follows the story of Diana, a Citadel agent who is stuck undercover in Manticore due to the Citadel being destroyed. She has to figure out how to stay alive, while also trusting an unexpected ally. It’s super spy stuff, which is exactly what the original “Citadel” is. So, if you enjoyed the first series, odds are you’ll probably dig ‘Diana.’
The series stars Matilda De Angelis, Lorenzo Cervasio, Maurizio Lombardi, Julia Piaton, Thekla Reuten, Giordana Faggiano, Daniele Paoloni, Bernhard Schütz, and Filippo Nigro. The show is still executive produced by Joe and Anthony Russo, who are the masterminds behind the franchise. ‘Diana’ is showrun by Gina Gardini.
“Citadel: Diana” debuts on Prime Video around the world on October 10. You can watch the teaser below.
Here’s the synopsis:
Milan, 2030: Eight years ago, the independent global spy agency Citadel was destroyed by the powerful enemy syndicate, Manticore. Since then, Diana Cavalieri (Matilda De Angelis), an undercover Citadel agent, is alone, trapped behind enemy lines as a mole in Manticore. When she finally sees a way out and the chance to disappear forever, the only way to do so is trusting the most unexpected ally, Edo Zani (Lorenzo Cervasio), the heir of Manticore Italy and son of the head of the Italian organization, Ettore Zani (Maurizio Lombardi), who’s vying for leadership against the other European families.
