20 TV Shows That Were Cancelled In 2025
7. Citadel: Diana & Citadel: Honey Bunny
Citadel is one of the most infamous TV "experiments" of the last few years, with the mainline spy thriller series launching in 2023 to middling reviews after Amazon spent an eye-watering $300 million producing just six episodes - in large part due to reshooting a massive chunk of it.
Amazon wasted no time announcing several international spin-offs, though, with Italian series Citadel: Diana premiering in October 2024 and Indian spin-off Citadel: Honey Bunny landing a month later.
Though both series were better received by critics than the main one, they failed to become ratings breakouts globally, and so Amazon announced last April that Diana and Honey Bunny had both been cancelled.
Their storylines will consequently be integrated into Citadel's second season, which itself has endured an uneasy production resulting in a release delay of numerous months.
Ultimately this entire enterprise feels like Amazon trying to make televisual fetch happen, because is there a single person out there with any real passion for Citadel as a franchise?
