"Citadel" trailer: Sizzling chemistry between Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Richard Madden grabs eyeballs

The trailer of Citadel starring Priyanka Chopra and Richard Madden has been released by Prime Video.

The two stars play secret agents in the upcoming spy series. The roughly 2.16 minute-long trailer features quite a few intense action sequences as the mind-wiped characters of Chopra Jonas and Madden strive to find out who they were in the past.

Upon its release, the trailer instantly drew attention due to the sizzling chemistry between the Chopra and Madden. In the story, the two spy characters try and fight their attraction towards each others while working together.


As they set out on a dangerous mission, the two stars are shown struggling with a "relationship built on secrets, lies, and a dangerous-yet-undying love".
Netizens seems to have taken a huge liking to the trailer. One Instagram user posted: "Chemistry (fire emojis)." According to another, "Their chemistry is just (heart eyes emojis)."

One person commented, "They are on fire. Love them both, I simply cannot wait to watch this show."

Produced by the Russo Brothers' (Joe and Anthony Russo) AGBO and showrunner David Weil, Citadel will premiere in multiple languages including English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada, PTI reported.

According to the makers of the series, it is a unique television event. What makes it unique is that the show and its subsequent off-shoots traverse the globe with interconnected stories, they said.

In Citadel, Madden and Chopra Jonas play Mason Kane and Nadia Sinh — both part of the independent global spy agency Citadel, which is "tasked to uphold the safety and security of all people".

Citadel was laid to waste by Manticore, a shadowy syndicate manipulating the world. As Citadel fell, Madden and Chopra Jonas' characters had their memories wiped out even as they narrowly escaped with their lives.

Since then, they've remained hidden, building new lives under new names, oblivious to their pasts.

Then one night, former Citadel operative Bernard Orlick (Tucci) tracks Mason down. Orlick is seeking help to stop the shadowy Manticore from setting up a new world order.

Mason and Nadia are then reunited. They embark on a mission around the globe.

The show will premiere exclusively on Prime Video on April 28 with one episode rolling out every week through May 26.

The series also stars Stanley Tucci and Lesley Manville. Other stars include Osy Ikhile, Ashleigh Cummings, Roland Møller and Caoilinn Springall.
