As we reported final yr, the primary season of Citadel struggled to attain a 50% Rotten Tomatoes score. It’s at the moment sitting at a quite unhappy 51%, however its spin-offs Citadel: Diana and Citadel: Honey Bunny are a lot larger rated, with 82% and 75% respectively.
So after all Prime Video has canned each spin-offs after only one season apiece.
The purpose’s easy sufficient: the opinions had been typically rank: “As generic as they arrive”; “type over substance”; “what you’d get if a toddler tried to attract an motion blockbuster from reminiscence”; “so frustratingly low-effort it is truthfully form of offensive”), however tons and plenty of folks streamed it anyway.

Here’s Sanders: “Having efficiently traversed India and Italy, storylines from each Citadel: Honey Bunny and Citadel: Diana can be woven into the upcoming second season of the mothership collection Citadel.”
He continues: “While these profitable and broadly loved worldwide chapters won’t proceed as particular person collection, Season 2 of Citadel can be our most exhilarating but.

The writing was on the wall for the spin-offs as a result of, as Deadline experiences, they “haven’t been international breakouts”. The two exhibits “have been ready for phrase on their fates since launching their first seasons in September and December, respectively.”
That additionally means the tip of what I barely sarcastically described as a Citadel Cinematic Universe of a number of linked exhibits set in numerous international locations. It’s all concerning the single present now, and hopefully it will increase its recreation for season 2.
