Citadel: Honey Bunny is set to become the third entry in the ever-growing Citadel universe alongside an Italian adaptation named Citadel: Diana.

The global release date for Citadel: Honey Bunny has been confirmed to be November 7, 2024. Meanwhile, its Italian counterpart is set to debut on October 10, 2024.

Honey Bunny’s release date was announced by Prime Video in a recently organized fan event in Mumbai, India. The entertainment giants also unveiled a teaser trailer for the series at the gathering.

While revealing the release date, Nikhil Madhok, Head of Original Content at Prime Video India, also gave his two cents on the show’s plot. “The fictional series will take the audience back to the genesis of this international clandestine spy-agency,” he said.

Project heads Raj & DK also expressed their excitement regarding their forthcoming venture. They further explained the series to be a “swashbuckling blend of gritty, fast-paced action and compelling drama with exceptional performances.”

Alongside the two spin-off series, Citadel Season 2 is also expected to begin its production phase later this year. Joe Russo will be in charge of directing the sequel, which stars Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Richard Madden.
