Amazon Prime Video has canceled the second season of two ‘Citadel’ spin-offs: ‘Citadel: Honey Bunny’ and ‘Citadel: Diana’. The decision comes after Amazon’s acquisition of MGM Studios, where ‘Citadel’ is produced. Vernon Sanders, Amazon MGM Studios’ television head, explained that the stories from these spin-offs will be incorporated into the main ‘Citadel’ series’ second season. This move marks a shift in Amazon’s strategy for handling spin-offs.
What happened to ‘Citadel: Honey Bunny’ and ‘Citadel: Diana’?
‘Citadel: Honey Bunny’, starring Varun Dhawan and Samantha Ruth Prabhu, was released on Amazon Prime Video last year. Directed by Raj and DK, known for ‘The Family Man’, it followed the story of Nadia’s spy parents. The Italian version, ‘Citadel: Diana’, starring Matilda De Angelis, was also released last year. Both series received positive reviews. Sanders praised the shows, saying they were well-received but will now be part of the main series.
What’s next for ‘Citadel’?
The main ‘Citadel’ series, starring Priyanka Chopra and Richard Madden, is still moving forward. Sanders revealed that Season 2 will premiere worldwide in the second quarter of 2026. The new season promises more twists, new cast members, and continued action-packed adventures for Nadia, Mason, and Orlik. Fans can expect a more emotional and thrilling ride.
The cancellation of ‘Citadel: Honey Bunny’ and ‘Citadel: Diana’ follows the departure of Jennifer Salke, who led Amazon’s MGM Studios acquisition. Salke had greenlit ‘Citadel Universe’ and other projects during her tenure. The changes at Amazon MGM Studios have led to a reevaluation of their projects.
Interestingly, ‘Citadel: Honey Bunny’ received praise from viewers, with some even considering it better than the main series. The decision to cancel its second season has sparked mixed reactions among fans. Meanwhile, rumors are circulating about another potential cancellation – the ‘Tomb Raider’ web series starring Sophie Turner – though there’s no official confirmation on this.
