‘Citadel’ Season 2 Adds Rahul Kohli, Merle Dandridge, and Michael Trucco!!

The follow-up for one of the most expensive TV shows of all-time just got a thrilling new update. A new report from Variety has unveiled that Rahul Kohli, Merle Dandridge, and Michael Trucco will all star in Season 2 of Citadel. Details about their roles are being kept under wraps, but the three join new cast members Jack Reynor, Matt Berry, and Gabriel Leone, who all signed on for the Prime Video series last week. Both Citadel Season 1 stars Richard Madden and Priyanka Chopra-Jonas are back reprising their roles starring alongside the new cast members, with The Russo Bros. lined up to produce and Joe Russo even stepping into the director’s chair for one episode of Season 2.

When the budget for Citadel was revealed to be a whopping $50 million per episode ahead of the series’ release, expectations immediately went through the roof as many thought Prime Video was about to deliver one of the best spy-thriller TV shows ever. However, as we’ve seen many times, more money spent is not always an indication of a better quality final product. The first season of Citadel currently sits at a “rotten” 51% score from critics and a 63% approval rating from general audiences on Rotten Tomatoes. However, the series still scored record viewership for Prime Video, which warranted a renewal despite the divisive reception. In addition to a second season, there are also several Citadel spin-offs in development, including Citadel: Diana and Citadel: Honey Bunny, each of which has received exciting updates in the last several weeks.
