The series is helmed by Arnaldo Catinari and developed by Alessandro Fabbri, who is also the head writer, and wrote the series with Ilaria Bernardini, Gianluca Bernardini, Laura Colella and Giordana Mari.

The story unfolds in Milan, 2030. Eight years earlier, the independent global spy agency Citadel was destroyed by the powerful enemy syndicate, Manticore. Since then, Diana Cavalieri (De Angelis), an undercover Citadel agent, is alone, trapped behind enemy lines as a mole in Manticore. When she finally sees a way out and the chance to disappear forever, the only way to do so is trusting the most unexpected ally, Edo Zani (Cervasio), the heir of Manticore Italy and son of the head of the Italian organisation, Ettore Zani (Lombardi), who’s vying for leadership against the other European families.

Gina Gardini is the project's showrunner and executive producer. Other attached executive producers are Riccardo Tozzi, Marco Chimenz, Giovanni Stabilini and Emanuele Savoini. Anthony Russo, Joe Russo, Angela Russo-Otstot and Scott Nemes from AGBO, alongside David Weil are also credited as executive producers with Midnight Radio. The series received backing from the Italian Ministry of Culture - Directorate General for Cinema and Audiovisual.

The first season of Citadel, starring Richard Madden and Priyanka Chopra Jonas alongside Stanley Tucci and Lesley Manville, premiered last year, becoming Prime Video’s second most-watched new original series outside the US, and fourth most-watched worldwide, after 24 days.
