We spoke with Citadel showrunner David Weil and executive producer Angela Russo-Otstot on making the global series, cliffhangers, and Season 2.
If you’ve already been drawn into the Russo Brothers’ Citadel on Prime Video, Collider’s Steve Weintraub spoke to writer and showrunner, David Weil, and executive producer, Angela Russo-Otstot, about the creation of this one-of-a-kind spy series. If you haven’t caught the episodes yet, this is a spoiler-free conversation that details how this first season, starring Richard Madden and Priyanka Chopra Jonas, interconnects with the subsequent installments in Italy and India.
ANGELA RUSSO-OTSTOT: We're in the early stages of the creative process where, as you know, we're working with Regé-Jean Page and Glen Powell, and both of them are such stars in their own right and bringing a lot to the table as collaborators, and it's been a lot of fun. I'm really excited about that one. I think it's gonna be great.
One of the things that I'm very excited about is you have another series that's going to be in Italy and another series that's going to be in India. I'm most excited about the Indian one because I think RRR has almost primed a lot of people in Western audiences for Indian content.
WEIL: We’re certainly cognizant of that, and I think we, as viewers and lovers of TV, have felt that as well. I think in the past few years COVID really derailed so many series and created that delay in many ways. But we would love for the story to feel like there's always a Citadel and a series to watch that builds toward the larger mythology.
WEIL: We always want to be as quick as possible, but if we're so lucky to have a second season, we just have to make sure the story is right. It all starts on the page for us, and as soon as we can lock that in and we feel great about it and this is exciting, it's different and it evolves the story, then we go. It would be a good problem to have, and we'll see, we'll see.WEIL: Always.
