There might be bother within the Spyverse as Citadel season 2 has been delayed and the assorted spinoffs have been placed on maintain.
THR studies that Citadel season 2 has been delayed. Not solely that, however the varied spinoff sequence are being placed on maintain. That is simply the newest in a protracted line of points for Amazon MGM’s vastly costly spy sequence. In depth reshoots of the primary season made it one of the crucial costly TV exhibits of all time, with the six episodes reportedly costing $300 million. Yikes.
Manufacturing on Citadel season 2 wrapped up final November. The brand new season was initially deliberate to debut in fall 2025, however that’s been pushed again to spring 2026. Sources inform THR that Amazon MGM is “unhappy with what they have seen so far of season two.” It appears clear that the second season is having points just like the primary, which went by way of some main inventive turmoil.
Josh Appelbaum (With out Regret) was initially the showrunner of the primary season of Citadel, however he departed in December 2021 (together with a number of others) after inventive variations with the studio and the Russo brothers. David Weil (Hunters) was introduced in to rewrite the sequence, and cinematographer Thomas Sigel (Drive) helmed the reshoots.
The present is supposed to be an “Avengers-style spy show,” because it options spies from all around the world coming collectively for the final word mission. Two spinoffs have already been launched, together with Italy’s Citadel: Diana and India’s Citadel: Honey Bunny. Each exhibits have reportedly carried out effectively of their markets, however any additional spinoffs have been placed on maintain. They could choose up once more as soon as the second season of Citadel is again on observe, however the report wonders if this might be the tip of the franchise altogether. Citadel was speculated to be Amazon’s James Bond, and now that the corporate really owns Bond, Citadel doesn’t really feel as necessary.
Evaluations of the primary season have been reasonably combined, however our personal Alex Maidy was a fan. “From the excellent special effects to the intense fight choreography, there is almost nothing I did not love about Citadel,” Maidy wrote. “The marketing push behind this series is well deserved, as Amazon is about to have another marquee hit on its hands. Richard Madden never needs to be James Bond on the big screen as he has found an original character that sets himself apart from the 007 legacy.” You’ll be able to try the remainder of his evaluation proper right here.
