Exclusive news has emerged from Variety: Jack Reynor has been handpicked to star in the highly anticipated second season of the thrilling spy drama "Citadel" on Amazon Prime Video. Details surrounding his precise character and the intricate plotlines of this blockbuster series remain shrouded in mystery.
Reynor will share the screen with returning lead actors Richard Madden and Priyanka Chopra Jonas, alongside the esteemed Stanley Tucci. Production for this exciting new chapter is set to commence later this year, with Joe Russo at the helm not only as director but also as executive producer.
His involvement in "Citadel" marks the third time Reynor has starred in a Prime Video series, following his noteworthy performances in the streamer's adaptation of William Gibson's "The Peripheral" and a cameo in an episode of "Philip K. Dick's Electric Dreams." This also reunites him with the Russo brothers, as he previously starred in their film "Cherry" alongside Tom Holland.
Reynor's television resume boasts starring roles in the upcoming Netflix limited series "The Perfect Couple" and the CBS All Access (now Paramount+) series "Strange Angel." On the big screen, he has showcased his talents in hit films such as Ari Aster's "Midsommar," as well as "The Good Mother," "On the Basis of Sex," "Detroit," "Sing Street," and "Transformers: Age of Extinction." Reynor's directorial debut, the short film "Bainne" starring Will Poulter, even won the Best First Short Drama award at the Galway Film Festival.
Represented by WME, Range Media Partners, and Sloane Offer, Reynor's addition to the "Citadel" cast promises to elevate the series to new heights. Originally debuting in April 2023, "Citadel" aims to establish itself as a launchpad for a franchise of interconnected shows set in diverse countries, weaving intricate plots and characters together. An Italian spin-off, "Citadel: Diana," is slated for release in 2024, while the Indian installment, "Citadel: Honey Bunny," is currently in the works.
David Weil serves as the showrunner and executive producer of "Citadel," overseeing the creative vision of the series. Anthony and Joe Russo executive produce under their AGBO banner, alongside Angela Russo-Otstot and Scott Nemes. Amazon MGM Studios is responsible for bringing this thrilling spy drama to life.
