The wait is finally over for spy thriller fans. Prime Video has brought back Citadel for a second season, and all seven episodes dropped on May 6, 2026. The new season brings back familiar faces while adding several new operatives to the team.
The show follows elite agents trying to stop a worldwide conspiracy after their independent spy agency was destroyed. Three years after the first season ended, Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Richard Madden return as Nadia Sinh and Mason Kane, two spies whose memories were erased but are now pulled back into action.
Returning Main Cast Members Reunite for a Dangerous New Mission
Priyanka Chopra Jonas returns as Nadia Sinh, a top-level Citadel spy known for her fighting skills and sharp mind. Nadia struggles with her past and her connection to the rival group Manticore, which adds tension throughout the season. Fans have praised her performance, with many calling her the highlight of the new episodes.
Richard Madden is back as Mason Kane, the other half of the spy duo. After the first season ended with Mason living under a new identity called Kyle Conroy, season two pulls him back into the spy world. Stanley Tucci also returns as Bernard Orlick, the strategist who brings the team together again despite his own memory problems from season one.
Lesley Manville reprises her role as Dahlia Archer, the ruthless leader of Manticore. Ashleigh Cummings returns as Abby Conroy, who has ties to Mason’s alternate life and family.
New Additions Join the ‘Citadel’ Season 2 Cast
The second season brings several new faces to the spy universe. Each new character adds a different energy to the team as they work to stop a threat that could change humanity.
Jack Reynor joins as Hutch, a new agent who decides to team up with Bernard Orlick. The trailer shows Hutch playing a key role in the mission. Reynor is known for his work in The Perfect Couple and Midsommar.

Lina El Arabi appears as Celine, another new operative joining the expanded team. Merle Dandridge plays Joana Malvern, a character whose shady past poses threats to global powers.
Gabriel Leone and Rayna Vallandingham also join the cast as new characters. Vallandingham, a skilled martial artist, brings real fighting experience to the action sequences.
What the Show Is About
Joe Russo directed the second season and serves as an executive producer alongside his brother Anthony Russo. The Russo Brothers are known for directing Avengers: Endgame and Avengers: Infinity War.
The storyline follows Mason Kane, Nadia Sinh, and Bernard Orlick as elite operatives from a destroyed agency. Manticore, a powerful network backed by the world’s richest families, wiped out Citadel. Now a new global threat forces the three to return to action. They must recruit fresh operatives and launch a worldwide mission to stop a conspiracy that could reshape humanity.
Fan Reactions to the New Season
The show has gotten mixed responses from viewers since its release. Many fans have praised Priyanka Chopra Jonas for her performance.
“#CitadelSeason2 Review: Bigger, Bolder, More Explosive — But It’s @priyankachopra Who Truly Commands the Show,” one fan wrote on social media.
Another viewer said: “The ‘Sexy Robot’ Richard Madden is back, but this time with a soul — and the chemistry with PC is pure electricity.”
However, some viewers expressed disappointment with the season. One user wrote: “#Citadel2 fails to impress with a dull storyline, weak suspense, and outdated plot.”
Another fan commented: “While Priyanka Chopra shines brilliantly, Mason Kane and Bernard Orlick deliver solid performances. Overall, the series feels slow and may test viewers’ patience.”
