Priyanka Chopra Jonas will be the leading lady in a new series for Amazon Studios.
The Quantico alum and Bodyguard star Richard Madden will star in Citadel, a new multi-layered global series from directors and brothers Anthony and Joe Russo’s AGBO, Amazon Studios announced on Tuesday.
Additionally, a local language production of the franchise will originate from Mexico — in addition to versions in Italy and India, which were previously announced — but Chopra, 37, and Madden, 33, will star in the U.S. “mothership” edition of the show.

Chopra, who celebrated her 1-year wedding anniversary with Nick Jonas in December, is also developing an untitled Indian wedding comedy for Universal with Mindy Kaling and Dan Goor; she will co-produce and star in the film.
Meanwhile, Madden is in production on Chloe Zaho’s The Eternals; he will portray Ikaris opposite Angelina Jolie.
