After Three Years Off the Grid, Prime Video’s Priciest Thriller Returns With a New Trailer
As The Boys final season rolls out, Prime Video isn’t easing off the gas—Invincible, Young Sherlock, Fallout, The Night Manager, and more are queued up, with another big reveal still to come.
Prime Video is wrapping The Boys with season 5, but they are not exactly going quiet after that. Between Invincible, Young Sherlock, Fallout, The Night Manager, and a few others, there is plenty in the pipeline. And now their priciest thriller is finally clocking back in: Citadel season 2 has a date, a new trailer, and yes, it really is happening this time.
So, Citadel is actually back
Quick refresher: Citadel launched in 2023, got renewed fast, then ran straight into the 2023 writers strike. Season 2 slid from a planned 2024 release into 2025, missed that too, and has now landed on Wednesday, May 6, 2026. All seven episodes drop at once, so it is a full binge from day one.
Season 2 setup
Season 1 followed amnesiac super-spy Mason Kane, fellow operative Nadia Sinh, and handler Bernard Orlick as they tried to reboot their old lives and stop the global crime syndicate Manticore. Season 2 brings that crew back, but the threat is bigger, so the team is too. The new trailer backs that up and also hints that Bernard is getting way more hands-on this time. One more notable tell: Jack Reynor's character, Hutch, looks central to how this season plays out.
The roster (in front of and behind the camera)
- Returning leads: Richard Madden as Mason Kane, Priyanka Chopra Jonas as Nadia Sinh, Stanley Tucci as Bernard Orlick
- Also back: Lesley Manville, Ashleigh Cummings

The official logline
"Citadel is a heart-racing spy thriller following Mason Kane (Richard Madden), Nadia Sinh (Priyanka Chopra Jonas), and Bernard Orlick (Stanley Tucci) - elite operatives of a legendary agency destroyed by Manticore, a ruthless network backed by the world’s most powerful families. When a terrifying new threat emerges, the three are pulled back into action. Now they must recruit an unlikely team of skilled new operatives and launch a globe-spanning mission to stop a conspiracy that could reshape humanity. With blockbuster action, shocking betrayals, and an expanded ensemble of mysterious agents, the stakes have never been higher - and anyone could be friend or foe."
Bottom line
After a long, messy delay, Citadel season 2 hits Prime Video on Wednesday, May 6, 2026, with all seven episodes available immediately. The trailer is out now, the cast is stacked with returning faces and a few intriguing wild cards, and the show looks like it is leaning harder into big-scale action. Took a while, but it finally looks ready to justify that price tag.
