Season 2 of Citadel, starring Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Richard Madden, will premiere globally in the second quarter of 2026, Amazon MGM Studios confirmed. Along with the release window, the studio revealed that the international spin-offs Citadel: Honey Bunny (India) and Citadel: Diana (Italy) will no longer continue as separate series. Instead, their stories will be folded into Season 2 of the main Citadel series.

This marks a shift in Amazon’s earlier plans to create a franchise with independent international chapters. Despite the success of both Honey Bunny and Diana, the company has decided to consolidate everything into one global storyline, as reported by Variety.

“Having successfully traversed India and Italy, storylines from both Citadel: Honey Bunny and Citadel: Diana will be woven into the upcoming second season of the mothership series Citadel,” said Vernon Sanders, head of television at Amazon MGM Studios.

While both spin-offs received strong viewership, Honey Bunny was Prime Video’s most-watched title globally during its debut weekend in November, and Diana had the best launch for an Italian original on the platform in October, Amazon has chosen not to continue them independently.

Sanders said that although the successful and widely enjoyed international chapters would not continue as individual series, Season 2 of Citadel would be their most exhilarating yet.

Amazon shared the Season 2 logline, which reads, “One month after the events of the first season, we find our Citadel spies underground, as they’re being hunted by Manticore agents around the world. They’re pulled out of hiding to join forces with a new team of unconventional spies when Manticore’s Brazilian billionaire Paulo Braga threatens to unleash a cataclysmic piece of technology, built by Citadel’s own Bernard Orlick, into the world.”

Sanders said that viewers could expect high-stakes storytelling, new additions to the cast, and bold, cinematic ambition. He also mentioned that the new season would deepen the emotional journeys of Nadia, Mason, and Orlick as they face the relentless force of Manticore.
