Anthony also shares, “The idea that Citadel is a global agency, is really at the heart of what the show is because it is a global show. It’s not only this first generation that is being debuted this month on Amazon, the english language version, but we also have versions being developed in Italy, right now in Italian. We have a version being developed in India, as well and these are all going to live within the same narrative universe, the same spy universe. We are very excited about this.”

It’s like an onion as you peel it back, and twists and twists on you. So, don’t think you’ve got it figured out too early.”
