As reported recently, Citadel has garnered the second-largest international audience for Prime Video (while The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is the streamer’s biggest) and has enthusiastically been renewed for a second season with Joe Russo on board to direct all the episodes. As veterans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Russos are no strangers to expanded universes. Today, Prime Video has given us the first peek at a new chapter of the Citadel spy universe with the spin-off Citadel: Diana.
Matilda De Angelis (The Undoing) will be starring in Citadel: Diana as the central character in the forthcoming series. According to Prime Video, “following the finale episode, a post-credits teaser of Citadel: Diana reveals an exciting look at what’s to come as the Citadel Spyverse expands with the next chapter.
