Citadel, starring Priyanka and Richard, is set to become the second-most expensive program ever produced
It’s official: Priyanka Chopra stars in the spy thriller series Citadel on Amazon Prime. The second most expensive series to produce stars Richard Madden, 36, and Jonas, 40.
The first season’s six episodes cost $300 million to produce. $50 million per episode, then.
The series is reportedly a major passion project for Jennifer Salke, head of Amazon Studios.
The fact that the show was renewed for a second season before the first one ended is partly to blame for the exorbitant price.
Citadel is being developed by Prime Video to become a franchise featuring spin-offs.
The pandemic pause in production, summoning the cast and crew back to start shooting again,
and the high expense of COVID 19 protocols that was not taken into account when the series was approved were additional issues that increased the cost.
In her nearly 20-year career, Priyanka has never before fought for equal pay with her male co-star Madden.
«There is a very serious conversation about compensation to be had if your contribution, time commitment, and what you bring to the table are the same as your male counterpart,» she said.
For a very long time, she said, «it was not a conversation I was encouraged to have because it was just a given when I started out in movies that your male counterpart would have a significantly larger pay check.»
She continued, «I think the female actors in my time really stood out for themselves.
The actress who is wed to Nick Jonas of the Jonas Brothers portrays Nadia Sinh.
The worldwide secret agency Citadel has collapsed, and its agents’ memories have been lost, according to the series’ synopsis.
The formidable Manticore crime gang is currently filling the power void. Agents of the Citadel must reflect on their past and gather the courage to resist.
The mother of Malti Marie was hurt while filming Citadel, leaving her with a little scar on her lovely face.
