Life is full of mysteries. Mysteries such as, when we all fall asleep, where do we go? What was inside the briefcase inQuintin Tarantino’s best moviePulp Fiction? And most pressingly of all, why is Prime Video making yet another spin-off show fromCitadel?
Prime Video has just dropped the trailer for the newestCitadelspinoff, and it’s embedded below. The new show is calledCitadel: Honey Bunny, it comes from the renowned Russo Brothers and creative powerhouses Raj and DK, and it premieres on Prime Video on November 7.
Prime Video’s making the KCCU – the Kinda Cinematic Citadel Universe
It’s not really a mystery. AlthoughCitadeldidn’t get brilliant reviews– it’s currently sitting at 51% on Rotten Tomatoes – it’s proved very popular: the first season was Prime Video’s second most-watched original series outside the US, and the fourth most-watched worldwide.
This is the secondCitadelspinoff in the last few weeks: in mid-July Prime Video dropped the trailer forCitadel: Diana, which is set in Milan. The Indian Hindi-languageHoney Bunnylooks like it could be a big deal: Raj and DK’sThe Family Manspy series is already a Prime Video hit and the new show’s lead actors Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Varun Dhawan are big stars.
Prime Video is clearly thinking big for the franchise. Aswe reported a few weeks ago, the goal here is to create a kind of cinematic universe of multiple shows, each one set in a different country but connected to the core story via plot points and recurring characters. So far we’ve had the US and Italy, with India coming next and more spinoffs still to be announced.
We don’t yet know too much about the story, but according to Prime Video it “fuses the pulse-pounding elements of a gritty spy action thriller with the heartwarming allure of a love story, all set against the vibrant tapestry of the ’90s”.
Citadel: Honey Bunnywill be streaming on Prime Video from November 7.
