“You are a spy, like me, for an organization called Citadel,” agent Mason Kane tells mind-wiped super-spy Nadia Sinh in the first clip from Citadel. Amazon Prime Video dropped the first trailer for the spy thriller series from executive producers Anthony and Joe Russo (Avengers: Endgame) and David Weil (Prime Video’s Hunters) last week, and now the streamer has released an extended sneak peek reuniting Tier-One agents Kane (Bodyguard‘s Richard Madden) and Sinh (Quantico‘s Priyanka Chopra Jonas). Their first mission: get Sinh to remember Kane, Tier-One, and her past life as a Citadel spy to stop the global syndicate Manticore.
