Amazon Prime Video’s ambitious Citadel franchise is expanding rapidly, and there are already a ton of exciting updates about the first spinoff, Citadel: Diana. Brought to the small screen by the Russo brothers, Citadel concerns two spies who must fight to recover their memories and their lives after their organization is infiltrated by a powerful enemy. Perhaps one of the boldest plans in TV history, Prime Video launched 2023’s Citadel with ambitious franchise goals in mind and wasted no time when revealing that a spinoff, Citadel: Diana, was already on the way.
Unfortunately for Prime Video and the entire team behind the show, Citadel seemed too big to fail but ultimately did. Ratings were down and reviews were equally middling, leaving the prohibitively expensive show twisting in the wind. Citadel season 2 was preemptively renewed before the first returns were even in for the debut season, but little has materialized in the time since. Similarly, Citadel: Diana has long been on the way, but Prime Video has been surprisingly quiet about their Italian expansion to the world of Citadel.

A Full Trailer Is Revealed
With the show’s premiere coming soon, the latest news arrives in the form of a full trailer for Citadel: Diana. The Italian Citadel spinoff has dropped a handful of exciting teasers thus far, but the full trailer offers the clearest look at the debut season. The lengthy trailer introduces Diana as she is recruited by Citadel to bring down a powerful crime family. However, her own motivation is to get revenge for fallen comrades, and she’s willing to play both sides against each other to achieve her goals.

Citadel: Diana Cast
Matilda De Angelis Stars As Diana
With so little known about the series itself, little is also known about the cast of Citadel: Diana as well. The only character that has any definition thus far is the titular heroine herself, who is played by Italian star Matilda De Angelis. An extensive list of actors has been announced to appear in the cast, though nothing is known about their roles, and they are largely known for their work in European productions in their home countries. It’s expected that more details are coming soon, and it’s unknown if Citadel characters will appear in the spinoff.

Citadel: Diana Story Details
The Series Takes Place In 2030
Hoping to escape, Diana must ally herself with the heir to Manticore, who is hoping to end the organization’s grip on Europe forever.
Though the spinoff was shrouded in mystery for a long time, the second teaser provided by Prime Video was also accompanied by a plot synopsis. Set in 2030 (8 years after the fall of Citadel), Diana is an undercover agent from Citadel who is trapped behind enemy lines as a mole within the Manticore organization. Hoping to escape, Diana must ally herself with the heir to Manticore, who is hoping to end the organization’s grip on Europe forever. More details will likely come soon, but the spinoff is already shaping up to be an exciting continuation of its predecessor’s plot.

Watch The Teasers Below
Immediately following the ending of Citadel season 1, a teaser trailer for Citadel: Diana was revealed to further entice fans. Though the teaser features no dialogue and reveals next to nothing about the plot, it does introduce the lead character and shows her in more than a few action-packed situations. Doing its job well, the first teaser for Citadel: Diana did just that.
Along with the announcement of Citadel: Diana‘s October 2024 release date, Prime Video released a second teaser which sheds more light on the series. Establishing the show’s 2030 setting, the teaser introduces Diana, who is an undercover Citadel agent stuck behind enemy lines as a mole within the villainous Manticore organization. In the teaser, she hatches a plan to escape life forever, but she gets help from an unexpected source.
After a handful of teasers, Amazon Prime Video revealed a full-length trailer for Citadel: Diana in September, and it offers the clearest look at the Italian spinoff thus far. The trailer opens with Diana vowing to get revenge for her fallen comrades, and she is recruited to go undercover within a powerful crime syndicate. However, her own motivations send her on a quest to bring down all the power structures around her, and she is the ultimate loose canon with nothing but revenge on her mind.
