One night, when Mason is tracked down by his former Citadel colleague, Bernard Orlick (Stanley Tucci), who desperately needs his help to prevent Manticore from establishing a new world order. Mason seeks out his former partner, Nadia, and the two spies embark on a mission that takes them around the world in an effort to stop Manticore, all while contending with a relationship built on secrets, lies, and a dangerous-yet-undying love.”
Citadel also features Lesley Manville, Osy Ikhile, Ashleigh Cummings, Roland Moller and Caoilinn Springall in supporting roles. The first two episodes of the series will be released on April 28, with a new episode weekly every Friday through May 26.
