The Indian adaptation of the popular Hollywood series Citadel, featuring Samantha and Varun Dhawan, had created huge anticipation, and everyone was waiting with bated breath for the release of a second season. In a shocking revelation, Amazon Prime Video has formally announced the cancellation of Citadel 2.
As per an announcement made by Prime Video, the Indian and Italian versions of Citadel 2 will no longer be produced in isolation. The two versions will instead be consolidated into the initial Citadel series and will now be developed on a much greater level. The original version featuring Priyanka Chopra and Richard Madden will now be remade with a greater budget and shall be made in various languages.
Although the Indian and Italian versions of the show also enjoyed success, the plan to merge them with the original show was reportedly done on the basis of finances. Therefore, Samantha, who was initially going to appear in Citadel 2, will not appear in season two, making her fans unhappy.
In the meantime, Citadel Season 2, with Priyanka Chopra playing a central character, will be made on a much bigger budget and will be released in 2026. The action-thriller show has already received a good response from audiences across the globe. While Varun Dhawan had earlier shown interest in possibly making Citadel 2 into a film, this abrupt cancellation has left fans and the entertainment industry stunned.
