The official storyline of Citadel
Citadel is an independent international espionage agency set up to defend the safety of all people, but 8 years ago it was destroyed by the agents of Manticore, a powerful association that manipulates the world in the shadows. With the fall of Citadel, all memories of elite agents Mason Kane (Richard Madden) and Nadia Sinh (Priyanka Chopra Jonas) were erased, but they miraculously managed to save themselves. They have remained in hiding ever since, building a new life with new identities, both unaware of their pasts. Until the night Mason is tracked down by his former Citadel colleague, Bernard Orlick (Stanley Tucci), who desperately needs his help to stop the Manticore from establishing a new world order. Mason searches for his former colleague Nadia, and the two spies embark on a mission that takes them around the world in an attempt to stop Manticore, all while having to deal with a relationship built on secrets, lies and a dangerous love but timeless.
After the debut of the first two episodes last April 28, Citadel will return with a new episode (for a total of 6 episodes) every Friday through May 26 on Prime Video.
