Prime Video Cancels the Spinoff Citadel: Diana and Citadel: Honey Bunny – Citadel Season 2 is still coming
Prime Video has officially canceled its international Citadel spin-offs — Citadel: Diana and Citadel: Honey Bunny after just one season each. This news comes even though both shows received better reviews than the original series. However, Citadel Season 2 will still premier on Prime Video in late 2025 or early 2026.
While the first season of Citadel struggled with critics and only managed a 51% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the spin-offs performed much better. Citadel: Diana scored 82%, and Honey Bunny followed closely with 75%.
Why Were the Spin-Offs Canceled?
Despite the higher ratings, Prime Video has decided not to continue either spin-off. According to reports, the shows didn’t become global hits and failed to generate enough long-term interest. Some critics also called the franchise “style over substance” and “generic,” even though many people still streamed the original show.
What is Citadel About?
Citadel is a global spy thriller created by the Russo Brothers (famous for Marvel’s Avengers: Endgame). The series is available on Amazon Prime Video and stars Richard Madden and Priyanka Chopra Jonas. The story follows elite agents Mason Kane and Nadia Sinh, who survived the attack but lost their memories. Years later, they are pulled back into the world of espionage when Manticore resurfaces, threatening global security. As they try to recover their past and stop the enemy, they uncover shocking truths about themselves, their mission, and the betrayal that caused Citadel’s downfall. The series blends action, mystery, and emotional drama across a globe-trotting storyline.

What Happens Next?
Although the spinoffs are canceled, these characters and stories aren’t gone for good. According to Amazon MGM TV boss Vernon Sanders, both Diana and Honey Bunny will be woven into the plot of Citadel Season 2.
He said, “Having successfully explored stories in India and Italy, the storylines from both Honey Bunny and Diana will be part of the upcoming second season of the main series.”
He also added that Season 2 will be more intense, with new characters, bigger action, and deeper emotional stories. The main focus will still be on fan-favorite characters like Nadia, Mason, and Orlick, as they face off again against the powerful Manticore organization.
When Will Citadel Season 2 Be Released?
While there’s no exact release date yet, Season 2 of Citadel is expected to premiere in Q2 of 2026, likely sometime between April and June.
With both spin-offs canceled, Amazon seems to be stepping away from its original idea of building a large “Citadel Spyverse” with multiple shows around the world. Instead, all attention is now on making Citadel Season 2 a bigger and better experience for fans.
