Jack Reynor has been cast in Season 2 of the Amazon Prime Video spy drama Citadel, Variety has learned. The highly anticipated new season brings him alongside returning stars Richard Madden, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and Stanley Tucci.
While exact character and plot details for Reynor’s role remain shrouded in mystery, the shows core continues to revolve around former Citadel agents Mason Kane (Richard Madden) and Nadia Sinh (Priyanka Chopra Jonas). Richard Madden shared his experience working closely with Stanley Tucci, highlighting Tucci’s ability to seamlessly blend drama, action, and lighter elements into the series: And Stanley was the one that managed to really bring that tone to the scenes where we can straddle drama and action and thriller with these lighter touches, and make it funny – he’s a master of doing that.
Production Resuming Soon
The new season’s production is set to commence later this year under the direction of Joe Russo, who will also continue as an executive producer. The Russos have been pivotal in shaping the show’s unique blend of high-stakes espionage and intricate storytelling.
Reynor’s Expanding Portfolio
This marks Reynor’s third project with Prime Video, following his roles in The Peripheral and Philip K. Dick’s Electric Dreams. He reunites with the Russo brothers with whom he previously collaborated on the film Cherry, co-starring Tom Holland: It’s been a whirlwind for Reynor to process the wide swath of reactions sparked by Christian.
Diverse Acting Backgrounds
Reynor has built an impressive portfolio across television and film. His film credits include Ari Aster’s psychological horror flick Midsommar, where he portrayed the pivotal character Christian. More recently, he stars in Netflix’s limited series The Perfect Couple and CBS All Access’ (now Paramount+) series Strange Angel.
Showrunner and Production Insights
The visionary David Weil continues as the showrunner for Citadel. The second season also sees contributions from Anthony and Joe Russo, Angela Russo-Otstot, and Scott Nemes as executive producers under their AGBO banner.
A Global Narrative Expansion
The show’s groundbreaking approach aims to serve as a launchpad for multiple interconnected series across different countries. The impending Italian spin-off Citadel: Diana and the Indian iteration Citadel: Honey Bunny reflect its expansive universe slated for release in 2024.
Pushing Boundaries of Spy Drama
Priyanka Chopra Jonas’s involvement signifies the global dimension of ‘Citadel’: This one particular season, we had writers around the world that we’re creating threads that connected all of these different shows together.
The inaugural season began eight years prior to present day when Citadel—a global agency sworn to protect humanity—was crippled by Manticore, a devastating crime syndicate. With agents like Nadia Sinh (Priyanka Chopra Jonas) and Mason Kane (Richard Madden) fighting for reconstructing what’s lost, Stanley Tucci plays significant role as Bernard Orlick.
