The Citadel productions from other countries will “enhance the experience of engaging with the show,” Amazon Studios chief Jennifer Salke said. Further details and release dates were not announced.

As per an Entertainment Weekly report, Priaynka and Richard will star in the “US ‘mothership’ edition” of the spy series, which will also feature interconnected local-language productions from India, Italy, and Mexico (the latter installment being newly announced). Josh Appelbaum, André Nemec, Jeff Pinkner and Scott Rosenberg will serve as writers and executive producers of Citadel, with Patrick Moran, Mike Larocca, and the Russos on board as executive producers, it added.

“The idea is to create a truly global, action-packed spy series,” Salke said. “It’s a totally innovative, multifaceted international approach to storytelling, and we can’t wait to tell you more as it comes together.” Local-language productions are being done in Italy and India, with another announced Tuesday in Mexico. Amazon called the U.S. version the “mothership” of the project, with production set to begin this summer.

Meanwhile, Priyanka is also said to be working on a project about elaborate Asian weddings in collaboration with Mindy Kaling.
