While Amazon Prime is in the process of creating its own James Bond, it is now certain that the story will continue with a second season. The first season reportedly cost a whopping $300 million to produce, but the investment seems to have paid off.According to Variety, Citadel is the second highest-grossing original on the streaming service internationally, behind only The Lord of the Rings: The Power Rings. In a global comparison, Citadel is the 4th most viewed Amazon original. In view of this success, an extension for a second season is certain.The new episodes of Citadel will be directed by Joe Russo, one of the creative minds behind the last two Avengers films. Interestingly, he will be directing alone this time, while he has always worked with his brother Anthony on his major projects, including Avengers 3: Infinity War and Avengers 4: Endgame.The Russo brothers have been involved in various major projects over the past few years and have made their mark on both cinema and streaming. In addition to their work in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, they have caused a stir with the $ 200 million Netflix blockbuster The Gray Man. They are also the driving forces behind the highly sought-after production company AGBO, which is responsible for, among other things, Tyler Rake: Extraction.The question remains as to whether the Russo brothers might split up now that Joe Russo is directing Citadel season 2 alone. We've seen breakups like this many times in the past, from the Coens to Chad Stahelski and David Leitch. However, the Russos have at least one common blockbuster in the pipeline: The Electric State.
