Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Richard Madden on 'Citadel' and what it was like making a globe-trotting spy thriller.
From executive producers Joe & Anthony Russo and showrunner David Weil, the Amazon Studios global spy thriller series Citadel follows elite agents Mason Kane and Nadia Sinh , who had their memories wiped before escaping into new lives with new identities. When a former colleague comes calling eight years later, Mason must track down former partner Nadia, in order to stop a powerful shadow agency from destroying everything.
ANTHONY: That fact, right there, is another enormous credit to Amazon. They are the type of company, and they have the type of will and ambition, to attempt something this large that’s built on the backs of original IP. It’s a very unusual combination, to take a big swing like this with with new material that nobody is familiar with. For all of us, that was also a big thrill, creating the story from scratch and being able to go anywhere with it was.
What is it about spy stories that we keep coming back to and that’s so attractive about that type of world? MADDEN: Absolutely. And we kept each other in check. Sometimes you were like, “Okay, what character am I? What do I not know?” MADDEN: There are huge set pieces in this, and that’s something that’s amazing to be a part of. Not only that, we often see shows that are 80% drama and 20% action, or vice versa. This show aimed to be 100% of both, and I think that’s what we’ve managed to pull off. In the middle of these huge sequences with explosions and cars blowing up, we have this really intimate drama between these two characters and how they dance together.
