Priyanka Chopra Jonas Finally Reveals What’s Next for Citadel After Season 2
As Citadel barrels toward Season 2, Priyanka Chopra Jonas cuts through the chatter, mapping what’s locked, what’s still in flux, and how her ongoing Amazon partnership could propel the spy saga beyond its next mission.
Citadel is loading up for Season 2, and Priyanka Chopra Jonas is already fielding the obvious question: is there more after that? Short answer: maybe, but no one is saying. In the meantime, she is juggling a wild mix of projects across languages and genres, with a few surprises baked in.
Citadel: what is actually locked
Chopra Jonas was blunt about the state of play.
"We have Season 2, for sure, but the rest? I have no idea."
Amazon has not confirmed anything beyond the new season, even as the franchise keeps sprawling internationally with spinoffs like Citadel: Diana (Italy) and Citadel: Honey Bunny (India). She is not losing sleep over it, either; by her own account, she shows up, does the job, and moves on.
She credits the Russo brothers for kicking off her Citadel run, recalling that Joe Russo once dropped the script on her phone and four years later here we are. The show ended up as Amazon's second-most-watched new original outside the U.S. and its fourth-most-watched worldwide, which explains the franchise ambitions, even if the mother ship's long-term plan stays murky.
Back to India with Varanasi
Next up, she stars in Varanasi, directed by S.S. Rajamouli. It is a time-travel epic and marks her return to Indian cinema and her first Telugu-language role in over a decade. The production has been rolling for about two years.
"This is unlike anything I have ever done."
She specifically asked for a dance sequence — because of course she did — and says they have saved it for late in the schedule.
"I have to do a dance song... we haven't shot it yet. OK, that is one of the last things, which I'm really looking forward to."
One number they already filmed was, in her words, insanely intricate to pull off. Sounds like the kind of set piece Rajamouli lives for.
Comedy detour: Judgment Day
She has wrapped Judgment Day, an English-language comedy from director Nicholas Stoller, co-starring Will Ferrell and Zac Efron. Comedy is a lane she wants to explore more, and that trio feels like a smart way to test the waters.
Swashbuckling pivot: The Bluff
Also on deck is The Bluff, arriving February 25. Set in the 19th-century Caribbean, she plays a sword-wielding mother in a physically heavy role — a full-action swing from her comedy turn. File this under curious dealmaking: The Bluff started at Netflix, then moved to Amazon MGM Studios, and in the shuffle Chopra Jonas stepped in for Zoe Saldana, who stayed on as an executive producer.
Between Citadel, The Bluff, and everything else, her slate keeps pointing back to Amazon — but until someone actually greenlights Citadel beyond Season 2, even the star is waiting to see what that future looks like.
