‘Citadel: Diana’ Reveals October Premiere Date and Plot Details as Prime Video Unveils Italy Slate


Prime Video has set an October drop date for 'Citadel: Diana' and revealed plot details of the Italian installment of the high concept spy show.

The dark comedy series is produced by Indigo Film, the shingle behind Paolo Sorrentino’s Oscar winner “The Great Beauty.” It revolves around a Sicilian public prosecutor named Nino Scotellaro, played by Luigi Lo Cascio (“Lord of the Ants”), who devoted his whole life to fighting the Mafia and finds himself accused and condemned of being a mafioso himself. During its Rome presentation, Prime Video also announced several new Italian original movies, including Christmas comedy “When Santa Claus” (“Natale senza Babbo”) directed by young hotshot helmer Stefano Cipani (“My Brother Chases Dinosaurs,” “Fedeltà”). Produced by Amazon MGM Studios with Gaumont Italia, it stars Alessandro Gassmann (“Transporter: Extreme”) as Santa Claus, who is having an existential crisis and decides to take a vacation, leaving his wife, played by Luisa Ranieri (“The Hand of God” to have to roll up her sleeves to save the most special day of the year.
