Citadel has just been renewed for a second season on Prime Video, according to The Hollywood Reporter. This is ahead of the series’ April 28 premiere on the streaming network.

The plan for the series includes a local language spin-off series in Spain, Mexico, the Italian Alps, and India. The first season’s budget originally sat at a whopping $160 million dollars, but re-shoots added $75 million to the total.
